kmamaward 3 Posted November 22, 2016 Hi all. My dietician now has me doing a Protein Drink a day whether a meal or a snack. I bought Celebrate packets of latte and Cookies and cream thinking they would taste good. Yuck. The only thing I can drink without a gag is the Premier Protein which I know I really shouldn't drink. Any suggestions on great tasting drinks that are comparable in taste to Premier. Thank you in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipookiebear 20 Posted November 22, 2016 What is wrong with Premier Protein drinks? They recommended them where I had surgery, because they have 30 grams of Protein. I loved them before surgery but don't like taste after surgery. I use flavorless GENEPRO. I add to my hot coco or tea or broth. I like that I don't have that whey flavor to shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazel_eyez 173 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) My dietician doesn't care much for premier either, she says it is the top of the line junk Protein meaning it is the best out of the low quality Proteins. But, she says if that is what you can get that it is fine. nectar is really good, and for plant I like Organ Organic.

Treadmillwalker 486 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Premier Protein was suggested by my bariatric dietician as a good option. Price and availability make it a good option for many I know. I keep the pre made on hand at work and I appreciate the convenience. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and nectar powders at home.

teedsg 253 Posted November 22, 2016 Someone on another blog recommended Syntrax from Bariatric Choice website. I personally love Premier Protein and so did the other person who recommended Syntrax, so maybe you will like it maybe not.. I guess it's all trial and error.

mamaward64 2 Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks all. My reason was like previous poster that the Protein isnt quality but since I like the taste I will continue to use it. Sent from my LG-D851 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lema 236 Posted November 23, 2016 I had to use my powder ones instead of premier Protein and I nearly died. How disgusting are those powder ones. Gross! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasguyEP 56 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) I personally use nectar Sweets by Syntrax, they offer so many different flavors. They are easy to mix with either Water or milk and just taste great over all. My favorites hands down are vanilla bean torte and chocolate truffle. Try Nectar Sweets, you might be able to buy just a packet to try. I usually just buy the huge tub. Best of luck!

teedsg 253 Posted November 27, 2016 Yeah, to me, powder Protein doesn't dissolve well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellie2016 12 Posted November 27, 2016 I use unjury. The chocolate powder mixed with Water or milk heated slightly maybe 30 seconds stir then30 seconds stir tastes like hot cocoa. Don't heat more than that though gets clumpy and gross. Haven't tried their unflavored vanilla or Soup but on order will let you know.
