BEST tasting protein shake?



Recommended Posts

I drink The Ideal chocolate Milk Diet protein.... it only comes in chocolate and vanilla. I like the chocolate flavor. To me it tastes almost like Borden chocolate milk.

I've also tried the Unjury flavors, chocolate, vanilla, unflavored and strawberry, as well as the chicken Soup flavor....they're ok, but I personally like the ICMD better.

I've tried the samples of the Syntrax Nectar and since I don't care for kool-aid, I really didn't like any of those.

Another thing you can do is make your own...use the powdered instant milk with skim milk and whatever else you want, sugar free pudding mix, fresh or frozen fruit, sugar free Syrup, etc. Or do the Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk, but add up to 1/3 cup powdered instant milk, which ups your Protein.< /span>

I'd love to try different brands of ready-made drinks, but am too scared of wasting money and not liking it and then having to throw it away.

Isopure tastes like vomit. Seriously, vomit. I use GNC Total Lean and have found it the best. The strawberry one is positively the best strawberry ready made shake I've tried. In a pinch, I get the EAS Carb Control or Atkins Advantage. I try to catch GNC when they are having a buy one, get one 50% off sale along with free shipping and get a bunch ordered online. It's easier than shlepping a huge back of shakes from the store. I wish they came out with another flavor though.

I usually have Isopure Low-Carb chocolate for breakfast. It's a powder. I add an ounce of Torani sugar-free chocolate Syrup and a couple of teaspoons of espresso powder. I shake it up with 10-12 oz. cold Water in a Blender Bottle. It has 50g of Protein. Another protein I like is Chike. It's only available online (www.chikenutrition.com). The advantage is that you only use 7 oz. of water and it has 28g of protein. The flavors are pretty good. I have chocolate and strawberry.

My favorite is Visalus Protien Drink. It is awesome. My favorite recipe is 8 oz vanilla soy milk, 2 scoops protien powder, 1 tsp Decaf instant coffee and ice... blend it up in a bullet...and I swear it tastes just like a starbucks frappacino. Delish!

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any Protein shakes that actually taste good? I have always been turned off to the flavor of artificial sweetners, never liked diet sodas or foods sweetened with splenda? Help!

I have tried many Protein powders and the only one i have found that was actually really good was at GNC its the Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 has 60 grams of protein in one shake they have vanilla chocolate and strawberry and Cookies and cream flavors i really liked them and recommend you try them out gl jen

I just tried 2 oz soy slender coffee 2 oz vanilla muscle milk 4 oz lactose free milk with 3/4 scoop publix brand vanilla Protein Powder and 1/4 scoop carnation. SOOOOOOOOO gooooddd. I think it would be even better if i crushed ice with it but I don't have a blender atm.

what about the unflavored Isopure mixed with something else...like may a supplement to a carnation instant breakfast with milk? i've read that the unflavored does have a taste, but does adding it with something else help cover it up?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
