Chalky protein drinks

[Kylajo 9]

I'm trying to figure out what the best protien drink is. I like sweet and I hate chalky. What are your experiences?

Thanks! Kyla Jo

I like Premier Protein as well as JBN Protein Shakes. JBN (Just Be Natural) lets you try 3 different flavors for $5. The mixed berry is delicious!

I just purchased tripact Protein from GNC in chocolate milkshake flavor. I blend it with unsweetened- vanilla almond/ coconut milk. So good especially with half a banana! I showed it to my nutritionist at the surgeons office and it fits the requirements [emoji846]

I love love Love [emoji173]️[emoji171][emoji173]️[emoji171][emoji173]️ Unjury Protein powder! It's not chalky, no after taste, and the flavor is delish. My favorites are chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla mixed with Fairlife milk, unsweetened almond milk, or just plain Water. You can also get plain and add into meals for added protein.

The thing with Unjury & Optifast & OPTISLIM REGULAR is the 20%-27% sugars per 100g.

UNJURY (in some flavours) has low-to-zero dietary fibre.

I like to give top billing to ISOWHEY as it's 5%-7% sugar per 100g. It also rates well with 5%-12% fibre per 100g.

Second best, in my observation, is OPTISLIM RAPID.

ISOWHEY & OPTISLIM RAPID are also 40% less energy (calories) per serve. They taste all right and have 4-5 main flavours each

I've been doing nectar, but I've tried about 6 samples and I liked the ISO 100 clear, but the price per bottle at 2 per day to get 80g of Protein, brought me to the Nectar.

After a weight loss surgery the key ingredient is the amount of Protein that is in the powder(20-27 grams), then looking for high calories, fat(less than 3 grams), & carbs(5-7 grams). Oh & not to forget the TASTE, if it does not taste well it would not be consumed leaving you not getting your daily intake of protein 60 grams per day for women. Unjury is a whey isolate, not just whey, soy, casein, or made with pea flour. Sugars are high in most things consumed jellos, popscicles, yogurt, etc... starting a new weight loss journey we're eating far less and not able to eat foods that give us Vitamins & nutrients we generally need. Therefore we utilize supplements to give us what's missing i.e. Fiber, Iron, Calcium, B vitamins, Biotin in a nutshell vitamins & minerals.

No issue with the protein/nutrition "demand". I noted that there were great low-sugar Protein Shakes compared to Unjury and Nestle Optifast.

As for taste, it's a bonus if the taste is acceptable to excellent. But good taste can be achieved without having 2X to 6X the sugar. There are some stand-out good flavoured, low sugar protein shakes.

I like the fact that Isowhey is 87% to 94% protein and tastes great because of the successful flavour marriages.

The last thing the recovering obese folks need is the sugar/sucrose/glucose "hit".

And, I note, in reading some of the Unjury nutritional panels, there are some low sugar choices. (Unlike Optifast, FatBlaster and Protein Food)

Also, re taste, we can learn that "difficult" tastes are a trade off. In my own case, if I know a food or medicine is for my ultimate benefit, I can accept the fact that there maybe a slight/moderate unpalatability factor. We are adults and should be able to realise that.
