Best Protein Shake,?



Recommended Posts

Not quite what you asked but, by far my favorite has been collagen/Bone broth powder, 20g Protein for 20g powder 90 calories, and unlike whey protein, it doesn't curdle at high temps. Has a very mild "dusty" flavor which you can't taste at all, I put it in everything, coffee, Soups (broth, Tomato, chicken), recipes with sauce like pulled pork, cooked fruit, apple sauce, mashed potato, jelly(jello), spagettios, Beans. You name it I add it. 3 weeks out I was having it added to mashed potato, strained chicken noodle and broth a lot (plans vary).

Protein shake-wise, not sure if you have it in the US but I like Ufit shakes a lot, especially the Fudge Brownie. Grenade is more calorie-dense but there very good. No Premier Protein in the UK always jealous as it's the most youtube recommended.

Ready made ones for me are Premier Protein, they have ton's of flavors. But, before surgery I liked a few different flavors and after surgery I seem to only like the chocolate. They all have the same consistency and texture but the taste now taste chemically. Also, Fairlife shakes. I actually don't prefer the chocolate but everyone else raves about it. strawberry is my favorite by far and the caramel is good mixed with 8oz of caffeine free black coffee. Fairlife are impossible to find around me now so I mainly drink the premier. Both 30g Protein

powders, I feel like never mix properly and always taste gritty. I even have a real blender to mix them and still odd texture for me. I do however like the Unjury brand powder, it mixes very well. I prefer the convenience of the premade shakes though. I do like how you can get more creative with the powders though, so I keep it on hand to change things up a bit when needed. My favorite is sugar free lemonade mixed with strawberry Unjury powder. I use about 10 oz. of lemonade when I make them and it thins them out so it is like having a drink rather than a thicker shake. 20g protein per scoop

I like both Premier Protein and fairlife. The premier protien is a little thicker but like both

I started with Premier Protein but then switched to Fairlife. I like both, but I prefer the Fairlife.

I have also used Isopure unflavored Protein powder (tried the choc & vanilla, like them too - but the unflavored is more flexible) to make protein smoothies, add protein to Soups, broth, yogurt or food that needed a protein bump.

I've been using the Premier Protein like others. I have settled on liking the Cafe Latte flavor the most, even though it contains caffeine (my nutritionist advised against caffeine). The rest of the flavors are overly sweet tasting to me, and I have just about had it with sweet stuff.

I found Fairlife to be exceedingly expensive in my area, so I've avoided it. I did try chocolate Muscle Milk 32g yesterday and found it much more appealing than the Premier chocolate, so that is a plus.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
