My nutritionist said to get any Protein Powder as long as per scoop it has 20-30grams Protein less than 3grams carbs and less than 3grams fat. As long as it meets those requirements get what tastes best to you.

Taste varies with everyone and sometimes tastes changes after surgery. Don't stock up before surgery. Instead go to places like GNC and get several single serving packages. The prices are higher, but you will get an idea what tastes good to you. I had decided pretty quick that I hated Protein Drinks until I got the idea of mixing the flavors! Now I will mix chocolate with vanilla, then add half a spoon of instant coffee. This tastes like Wendy's Frosties. You can mix chocolate with banana, vanilla and strawberry, there is no limit to the mixes. Measure 1/2 scoop of each. I always blend the mix with ice in the blender, but shaken with ice is not bad either. My favorite Protein mix brands are Unjury any flavor and Click coffee. There are several companies that will send samples for free if you contact them (phone, email, or snail mail)

Great idea to mix the flavors! I love Wendy's Frostys...I will have to try this and experiment a bit. I'm still pre-op, but I'm testing things out (still, my tastes may change, but who knows). Thanks for that tip!
