Best Tasting Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I'm just getting started with my lap band journey. My surgeon requires a 2 week liquid diet before surgery. I can't stand most Protein Drinks. Anyone have any suggestions on which ones taste the best.

I have tried several and found this one has the best taste plus nutrition: http://www.premiernutrition.com/protein-shake.html. I buy it by the case at costco. It is available in chocolate, vanilla (my favorite) and strawberry with 30g Protein, 160 calories, 1g sugar and low fat. I drink one for Breakfast everyday. If you don't like the taste of your Protein Shakes, try blending it with ice to make a slushy. Some people even add ice plus other things like fruit and/or yogurt to doctor up the taste. Good luck on your journey!

i use whey isolate from Walmart. 30 grams Protein per scoop (more if you add milk)

comes in many flavors. i love chocolate, Cookies and creme and the new one Peanut Butter chocolate. i put in freezer and get it to slush stages. couldnt have survived 4 weeks liquid w/o this, i still drink one shake a day, usually for breakfast. they are 14.99 per container.

I use Unjury. Love chocolate splendor. Also vanilla mixes with skim mill and 1 Tbsp pistachio pudding mix. Or a scoop of vanilla, 1 c trop 50 oj and some frozen strawberries and ice. Super good!!

I use Pure Protein Natural whey. The Vanilla Creme & Frosty chocolate are both tasty. I change up the flavor by adding a tsp of extract to mine. Coconut extract is especially good.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
