Hi..I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a decent tasting Protein shake mix. I'm not real picky, but would rather it not taste JUST like chalk . lol

thanks.

Just realize I had not updated my ticker!

A relatively inexpensive alternative to the traditional protein shakes is something that has worked for me for a few months.

I buy the no-sugar added carnation instant breakfasts in vanilla. I use 1 % milk and a scoop of unflavored protein powder by Fusion. I find that the Fusion does not taste like anything at all. I then add either a splash of vanilla extract or some pumpkin pie spice to the mix, along with ice and shake vigorously. Ends up being about 35 grams of protein... Good luck!!

Val, I really like that idea. I'm gonna try that and see how I like it!!! :smile2:

I bought a Magic Bullet blender. Love that thing. I freeze skim soy milk in ice cube trays. I add vanilla whey powder, a few frozen milk cubes and natural peanut butter. Very good. I also use Syntax Nectar powder with fruit for smoothies.

NECTAR! NECTAR! NECTAR!, can't say it enough!! I LOVE the vanilla and strawberry flavors... AWESOME!

I am a big fan of 8oz 1% milk w/ 1 package of chocolate SF Carnation Instant Breakfast + scoop of Unflavored Protein powder = 280 calories/5gr fat/33gr protein :cool:

It is very tasty and cheap too -- those nasty tasting "pre-mixed" Protein shakes can cost a fortune!

Where can I purchase this UNFLAVORED PROTEIN POWDER??

https://www.unjury.com/store/protein/ for unflavored protein powder.

Has anyone heard of designer whey? A friend of mine who had Lap band a few years ago said this tasted great...but wasn't sure if it was still a choice among bansters...any comments???

I have used the designer whey protein before, and the only thing it was good for was putting fruit smoothies. Otherwise I thought it was terrible!!

I agree with Old School on the Premier Protein Pre-made shakes from costco. I have one every morning as it is tough for me to eat in the morning. I grab it as I walk out the door and drink it in the car on the way to work. It keeps me going until lunchtime and gives me 1/2 the protein I need (minimally) for the day.

I also have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.. its "ok" to me, but everyone likes different things. I do think the chicken Soup flavor is a nice option to have rather than cold drinks all the time.

I am curious now about this chocolate Peanut Butter from Bariatric Eating though... might have to try it!

The only problem is they aren't nearly as filling as the whey Protein powder that I can get at walmart.

I just picked up that jug of Protein Powder (the chocolate kind with 52 g of protein. How is it?

I'm a huge fan of the Champion Whey Protein Stack. They have tons of flavors my favorite is the Cookies and cream and the tropial sunsrise...each scoop is 26g of protein

You can order samples of them at www.vitalady.com the samples are about $2 each so that's not too bad.

Does anyone also eat Protein Bars? I've been looking for a good one. I've orders a box of the pure protein one to see if they are any good.

I had my surgery four years ago, and one of the toughest things is to find a liquid something to have post surgery and post fills days. You need to find something that tastes good, and is packed with nutrition. Also, good to find something that is all natural, not full of all that chemical stuff you see in some of the widely marketed stuff. I recently found a shake mix that is all of the above, and I wish I would have had it years ago. It is called Cinch. Comes in vanilla, choc. and strawberry. Very filling too. Send me a message and I can give you a link to read more about it. :scared2:

I was banded 4/8 have been using both the chocolate and vanilla EAS Sams has it very reasonable. I add 2 scoops to different recipes for protein shakes that are on line. One of my favorites is Chocolate, strawberry yogurt, and banana.. tastes like a banana split that has melted. Also adding different SF coffee flavorings I use DiVinci adds a different flavor. My dr and nutritionist just said experiment with flavors and fruits or other things that you like. Squash with pumpkin pie spice and sugar twin brown sugar is good to.
