Best tasting protein drink/powder



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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'll have to try the sample pack!

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

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
