di0607 4 Posted May 11, 2016 Can anyone recommend Protein Shakes that don't taste like chalk? I know this is very subjective but I need to start gathering samples and trying them. Surgery will be late June/early July. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted May 11, 2016 I tried several but ultimately settled on Body Fortress from Walmart. The chocolate and vanilla are the best. The chocolate Peanut Butter is okay. The strawberry is kinda blah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ele marie 92 Posted May 14, 2016 I use Premier chocolate shake I add half a banana Greek yogurt and Peanut Butter some ice and blend. 2 grams of sugar in the Peanut Butter only use a table spoon and one shake it makes enough for a few days.

I like: Premier Protein (chocolate is my favorite, but I also like the strawberry and vanilla) GNC Lean 25 (my favorite is orange cream) Syntrax nectar (my favorite is fuzzy navel) Quest (salted caramel) Carnation no sugar added Breakfast essentials ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (these were great when I was on clears, now they are an easy way to boost my Protein by adding them to my Water bottle) powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury For more savory options: Unjury chicken Soup ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups Definitely try samples before investing in bulk.

Ele marie 92 Posted May 14, 2016 After you put in the additions it's a whole blender full if you want to drink all that go for it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ele marie 92 Posted May 14, 2016 Chritinamo7 Not everyone is you. Some people are bigger some are smaller some went from eating thousands of calories a day some not. Some of us had the bariatric bypass surgery some had the sleeve. People who had the sleeve are less restricted. If she or you can drink a whole pitcher of shake then that is absolutely fine. But a lot of us can't. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted May 14, 2016 All of the Chike brand shakes were great to me. Excellent flavors without aftertaste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mom2wils 16 Posted May 14, 2016 I love Total Lean 25 from GNC. Banana is fabulous (add a little choc pb2!!) and Cookies and cream is pretty good too. I don't like the vanilla but my hubby does. The chocolate left a funny aftertaste. It was the only thing that made the pre-op diet doable! I add some Fairlife milk sometimes for a creamier shake and extra Protein. As for the others...Quest salted caramel was pretty good. I have some single packs of those to try. I also use the Unjury unflavored to add into things.

anassathalassa 35 Posted May 14, 2016 I'm in love with vanilla flavored unjury (I add 1/2-1 tsp of vanilla extract to it to make it have a stronger vanilla taste) and the green tea flavored Isopure. My taste buds really changed after surgery and the shakes and flavors I liked before make me almost nauseous now. These 2 are about the only ones that I can not only stand but actually enjoy drinking. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry W 336 Posted May 14, 2016 I didn't like the Premiere Protein shakes - got a small case with 3 of each flavor, meh! I prefer SlimFast High Protein/Advanced Formula, Pure Protein, or Muscle Milk. These may be the ones you're describing as "chalky", but I guess tastes vary! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judanna77 45 Posted May 14, 2016 Pre-op, I really liked HealthSmart Chocorite shakes. My favorites were their caramel mocha, Peanut Butter, banana creme, and chocolate brownie flavors. I'm not sure if they are sold in stores- I bought them online at netrition.com. However, post-op, I can't stomach them. Now my favorite is 1/2 of a premade Premier Protein shake mixed with 8 oz Fairlife skim milk- by itself, I find the Premier Protein way too sweet, but mixed like this it is much less sweet and using the Fairlife milk gives pretty much the same amount of protein.

kcsprong 19 Posted May 14, 2016 I'm still in the trying everything out phase, but today i had the Chike Banana and OMG it was amazing! I'll warn you though, it was thick even after adding 12 oz of fairlife milk....otherwise i also liked Syntrax nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. unjury was good too, but didn't sit well in my stomach. The only brands i haven't tried are Quest and Isopure.< /p> Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
