No More Muscle Milk Light Pre-Mixed Shakes...any Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I live on Muscle Milk Light pre-mixed shakes for a good portion of my diet (sometimes 2-3 bottles in a day) and the company has stopped making the original vanilla and also Cafe Latte. You can still get chocolate but not my favorite flavor. I have lost 45 pounds since Oct 15 and feel great (but still want to lose another 50 or so) but am so worried about what I'm going to do since I'm not a fan of the powdered shakes. Does anyone have a suggestion for a premixed brand that I can try? I love the convenience of the bottles...Thanks

I love Muscle Milk light but I recently switched to a GNC brand called Total Lean, Lean shakes. They only have chocolate, Vanilla & strawberry right now. I tried them a few months ago because they were out of the Muscle Milk Light and I liked them so much I haven't switched back. Good luck!

Jay Robb tropical dreamsicle powder is a nice treat. The other drink I did was the Premier nutrition pre-mixed chocolate from costco. I know they have a vanilla too, but I personally thought it was bad.

Eek! Jay Robb stuff has the most horrible aftertaste, at least the ones I have tried. I wish I could stomach them, because it gives me more energy than anything else I have tried. My nutritionist told me that muscle milk lite is not on their diet because there isnt 25 or more grams of protein..... I wish I could remember the ready to drink that I got a sample of and LOVED. How did I let myself forget??! Arrgh

I'm drinking Premier chocolate shakes. Lots of Protein, 30g, but I can't say I look forward to drinking them. But I'm still on my postoperative liquid diet. So I just miss food in general about now.

Premier shakes from costco are yummy1 These are the most affordable ready to drink shakes I have found at about $1.00 each. I also drink the Isopure smoothies, they come in yummy flavors like pomegranate berry and have 32 grams of Protein. I order them from Amazon for $2.88 each.

I am puzzled as to why you are drinking such a high portion of your meals. Are you too tight to eat proper food?

I agree, you shouldn't be only drinking your meals. It is not a good way to live, and likely, if you go back to eating, you will gain weight. Try to eat at lest 1 mel a day. Goodluck, Karen

Sorry to be a downer but my doctor said no liquid meals after you've healed. Otherwise you would'nt have needed the band in the first place

I tried the chocolate and vanilla jay robb and those definitely had an aftertaste that I couldn't stomach, almost like soapy residue. The dreamsicle is the only one that did not have it.

I was also told no liquid meals after mushy food stage unless it is for Breakfast due to a tight band. Solids will make you full longer and faster, so I have been told. But I like EAS shakes.....

Honestly, I am not a big fan of Protein Drinks nor am I a coffe drinker, but recently I had a Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte and thought it tasted pretty good and only a little over a 100 calories.Not bad for a morning pick me up:) But in order to get my Protein I decided to make my own concoction at home now with Decaf coffee cooled down, a little skim milk and a scoop of Unjury chocolate Splendor powder. MMMM Good and I get a lot of protein points from it to start my day out.

Go to AllStarHealth.com they should have what your looking for if not just buy a shaker bottle for the powder.< /p>

Everything is seasonably priced, and all shipping, no matter what you have bought will be $5.95.

Take a look,they have a lot to choose from. I know because thats where I shop. You can also check out ebay they have allot

to pick from. But check out the website i gave you first.

Good Luck, Shirley.

I just came from ther and they carry RTD, but you can get over 1 1/2 ls for under $20.00

A lot of different flavors including cake batter.

I still enjoy a shake for lunch.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
