Best tasting protein drink/powder

[Danielleh 48]

What are the best tasting Protein Drinks or mixes? I am preop and will be starting my liquid diet on the 6th. I also meet that day with my surgeon, nutritionist and nurse for preop work. My nutritionist will give me a list of acceptable things for =my liquid diet.

I have tried Premier Protein (strawberries and creme) and fairlife (30g chocolate milk protein), both of them tasted horrible. I am planning on asking them if I can drink Protein Water or add the protein to coffee but I wanted to get a list of everyone's favorite flavor or brand of protein mixes/drinks.

Syntrax Nectar. Hands down. No weird Protein aftertaste. My fave is chocolate truffle. The bp store here offers a sample variety pack as well.

I can tolerate the bullet proof unflavored Protein in anything...

Muscle milk is my new coffee’s creamer...great amount of protein per serving.

Your taste buds will change after surgery. I loved the protein Water before surgery, but can’t stomach it since the surgery. Same with Premier Protein, I can’t stomach most of the flavors now after surgery.

Yeah, I'm not buying in bulk for that reason lol. I might just buy different brands and flavors to try!

I dont like powders i like pre mixed shakes so im in love with core power and muscle milk they can get a little pricey but they taste so good i have to try hard sometimes not to drink them down and sip

I have tried Premier Protein chocolate as well and i really liked it ...

Try some of the other premiere flavors - Cookies and cream and carmel are two of my favs. Never liked strawberry or chocolate. Unjury is pretty good as well. Personally my tastes haven't changed after surgery from what they were before.

I loved the premier strawberry after I had my sleeve surgery. Now I can’t drink it. The strawberry was discontinued for several months and I think that they changed the recipe. I am able to tolerate the Peaches and Cream. It is darn convenient to have the premade shakes.

Premier just came out with a Cafe Latte flavor ( available at Walmart online) that is pretty good as well. It does contain as much caffeine as acup of coffee though.

I can't tolerate the artificial sweeteners; I like Iconic; it is not whey based and it does not bother my stomach; also it is sweetened with stevia and Monk Fruit so the awful aftertaste is not there. It is not plant based, so my nutritionist doesn't "love" it, but it has 20G of Protein and 130 cal. I like the chocolate Truffle and the Ginger Tumeric.

If you buy Premiere Protein at Sam’s Club and don’t like it you can return it. I loathed the peaches and cream...like couldn’t choke it down last year when I was doing Keto. Barf!
