This Might Be My New Favorite Protein Shake



Recommended Posts

For many years I've been drinking premade GNC Lean shakes 25 g Protein in Swiss chocolate flavor. They're my Breakfast every morning. Then I saw a YouTube video of a girl doing WW like I am and she used Fairlife Protein Shakes. I saw that they were slightly smaller bottles but my interest perked up when I saw they had 30 g of protein. Also, GNC Shakes are about $2.48 apiece while the Fairlife shakes are about $1.74 apiece, so I thought I'd give them a try. My go-to flavor is chocolate, so I tried the chocolate first, but it tasted watered down and not as creamy as the GNC shake. Then I tried the vanilla. Heaven! So rich and creamy and a wonderful vanilla taste. This might be my new preferred breakfast.

My dad drinks those all the time. (He likes to work out everyday) He likes the chocolate ones more but loves the fairlife brand.

Where do you find the salted caramel? I've never seen it! I've gotten the chocolate at costco, and there's a similar Core Power that I've found in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry-banana

Thanks! I don't have a Sam's club membership but I can try Target. I just ordered a sampler from Amazon. If I like them I will figure out who has a membership.

Well, I'm glad I ordered just a few... it wasn't my cup of tea. I am getting so sick of Protein drinks! I can't quite get enough protein without them however.

      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.
