Hello everyone, I saw the dietician and the exercise coach today and she suggested that I purchase some sample's of the protein shakes to see which one I like the best. So I was just wanting to know which one's did you all find to be tasty or maybe I should say tolerable. :biggrin:

kckaye: if you call Syntrax and let them know you are a bariatric patient they will send you a varity pack of 10 for $13. That way you can try it, I went to The Vitamin Shoppe and the 3lbs tub was for $36.00 I was told that Syntrax and Isopure are one of the best. Their phone number is 1-866-333-7403 ext. 803. I just ordered today. Good Luck....

I like the powder that is called Pure Protein. I have tried a few and that is my favorite. I mix it with skim milk and hit it with the hand blender. It has been my favorite so far.

From Vitamin Shoppe I like Gold Standard Double Chocolate Whey Isolate. Depending on your doctors requirements you can consider some add ons. I use suger/fat free instant pudding mix's, Davinci suger free syrups (traditionaly used in coffee) and Spendra. A new favorite of mine is PB2 which is peanut butter powder where the peanut oil has been mostly removed and then the peanuts ground into a powder. They have both plain and chocolate flavor. I add that to my chocolate shakes and love it (significantly less fat and calories than peanut butter). Also I use a personal blender to mix the shake. I freeze fat free milk and flavored suger free water in ice cube trays and use those to give the shake a thicker texture.

I use the syntrax nectar...it has 0 fat and 0 carbs...it has 23g protein(remembering off the top of my head) and comes in great flavors. I use the vanilla bean, fuzzy naval and the strawberry kiwi. I buy the big tub from the vitamin shoppe. They have a return policy, if you try it and don't like it you can bring it back, no questions asked. Good luck!

I am with Momof5 I love the Nectar Protien ! The Carribean Cooler to me is the BOMB ! Fuzzy Navel is great too ! At LapBand support group I go to everyone pitches in and we buy in bulk then share the flavors it is great ! Try alot of them to find what works for you. Because that is the one you will stick with watch your carbs and fat grams and remember just cause it says it has 52 grams of protien the body can only process so many at a time. Good luck and thanks for the question. Chuck

Thanks everyone for your suggestions:thumbup:. I will be picking up a few sample's to see which is the best for me. Thanks again.

I got the Gold Standard Caramel toffee fudge. Its like drinking a frappuccino from Starbucks. Very yummy!!!

I LOVE Syntrax nectar Protein. They have sooo many different flavor choices. I have had the strawberry which taste like strawberry milk and the french vanilla taste like a milk shake. You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe and its about $35 for a huge tub of powder. 24 grams of protein per scoop. (I mix 2 scoops with 20 oz of skim milk)

I am not a chocolate fan but premier has a really good one. It's a pre mixed drink so great to grab when your on the go. One shake is 30 grams of protien. You can buy the chocolate at costco or they have vanilla online. It is $24 for a case of 18.

Nancy Marie is correct about Vitamin Shoppe and their return policy.. it is awesome. I bought the strawberry kiwi nectar and didn't like it at all but I couldn't find my receipt either so I thought I was out $35 but Vitamin Shoppe let me return that and exchange for another flavor.
