Having Trouble Drinking The Protein Shakes

Sounds like alot of people have trouble with the protein shakes. Keep trying different brands and flavors until you find one you can tolerate.

I use EAS vanilla soy protein mix, 8oz lowfat milk and 1 tblespn Hill Bros Cappuccino-french vanilla, and 1 tblespn lowfat natural peanut butter. This makes two or three meals for me, and I love the flavor.

I use "Silk Milk" (vanilla flavor), Carnation Breakfast Essentials, and whey protein (GNC-vanilla). Taste great to me!!

I have had the same problem. I drank Pure Protein 100% Whey Frosty Chocolate for about 7 months pre-op. Every day for breakfast and sometimes for lunch. NO problem. During the pre-op phase, I was put on "New Direction" and they were horrendous to me. I bought a few "Muscle Milk Light" to switch out for them and it was tolerable.

After surgery I was on the Isopure, (they are not that great). The Green Tea was doable if I added MIO to it.

When released back to Protein shakes I was so happy & excited. As it slid down it would come back. The taste changed, it became like drinking the most horrible thing, almost like a disgusting chocolate Elmers Glue to me. Even brushing my teeth made me sick. I tried GNC Protein Shakes, I tried, Unjury chicken stuff, Unjury Unflavored and made my own shakes, I tried every muscle milk light or non-light. I tried stuff called Lean and each one, was horrible to me.

I just started being able to tolerate (barely) the Pure Protein Shakes. My taste buds changed, something changed, but I understand.

Right after surgery it got the point I was in tears because I can't really afford to keep buying and hating new Protein Shakes. I have two HUGE tubs of the Pure Protein. It's disheartening.

I am hoping eventually I'll start liking them again. As I can, I'll just buy small amounts of different brands until I can find something that doesn't make me gag. Sad but true, I used love my shakes so much and I never thought my tastes would change that much.

You might try the protein shakes that GNC carries... they have quite a few low carb / zero carb types and RTD's. And they have a 30 day money back guarantee. I like the Isopure Zero Carb... and they have lots of flavors.

If you like the taste of the red punch flavored gatorade....isopure alpine punch tastes very similar, i love it very cold.

Hi if you are near a Sams stores there is a great whey protein you can mix it with your favorite fruit and a lot of ice. This might help and hang in there. I use lots of strawberries and 1/2 of a banana and its really good.
