Searching For Protein Drinks...

I'm searching for the best Protein Drinks. Any suggestions? Taste is a factor of course (chocolate is my fave) but quality is more important.

Thanks!!

I love love love the Atkins Advantage shakes. They have two flavors of chocolate, the dark chocolate is my favorite. I also like the french vanilla and the mocha and one with carmel in it. I still have them for Breakfast even though I am on a regular diet now. Oh the strawberry banana wasn't bad either! You can buy them in a four pack at Target or Walmart and then you won't be out much if you don't like them but I think you will

You may have more luck with the powders that come in lots of flavors. I like Unjury... a bit expensive, but worth it. Also Nashua Nutrition on line will sell you sample packets to try before you buy big containers. GNC will take returns, and my all time fave is Peanut Butter cookie flavor. The powder will be less expensive over the long haul. Also, I mix mine with unsweetened Almond Milk (Silk) either the plain or vanilla are good, and very low in calories and carbohydrates.

Syntha-6 has the best taste I've ever had in a shake. Chocolatey goodness! Not sure on if the macros work for you. I couldn't take it pre op based on my doc requirements. I would check with your doc to get the nutrition requirements first, then work backwards to select a brand that could work for you. Hope this helps

I think I tried every Protein powder/shake I could find. All of the powders were disgusting to me. No matter what I mixed them with it still smelled/tasted awful. Of the shakes I tried I liked the Premier Protein Shakes the best. They have 30g of Protein and I think 170 calories. They come in chocolate and vanilla. I mixed things in to change things up a bit. I also like the adkins carb advantage, but the don't ahve as much protein as the premier.

The best thing you can do is try a variety to find what works best for you. You can get sample sizes from unjury and others. that way you don't have to buy a big tub and find out you hate it. What one person loves in another person's nightmare. Good luck!

Agreed. Very good available costco and Sam's. No not a commercial.

THANKS EVERYONE!! I just order a starter kit from unjury and I will try the Adkins. I did some research on the Syntha-6 and it contains sucralose so I'm not sure about that one.

Has anyone tried the 310 shake, or the Yoli Yes?

I love, love, love the lean dessert Protein by BSN. Look them up on Amazon. Every flavor is good, but the chocolate coconut candy bar is my favorite! You can join their club on amazon and get free shipping and a discount.

I'm using Advocare muscle gain. It has 25grams of Protein per serving low in sugar. Also their products are better than GNCs because they break it down to the smallest form so when you drink them your body easily absorbs the protein. It taste like most Protein Shakes. Not a chocolate shake but it's tolerable. You can get it in packs or a canister. www.advocare.com/12102403 is the site. Even NFL players are starting to use advocare.

I love designer whey Protein Powder. I used chocolate mixed with skim milk plus. I get it at Vitamin Shoppe

I'm using Syntrax Nectar. It's really good. It has 23g of Protein, 0 fat, 0 carbs per scoop. I'm using the Fuzzy Navel flavor right now, but I've heard the Cappuccino is good too. The Fuzzy Navel has very little protein powdery taste to it, which is a plus for me. I've just been mixing it with Water, but I imagine if it were mixed with 100% fruit juice, it would be even better (although that would up the sugar content). It's around $30 for a 2 pound tub (about 32 servings).

*edited to add: The protein powdery "taste" is actually a smell. I focused on it earlier and I'm not really tasting it at all, I can just smell a hint of it. It helps if I mix it (in a blender cup) and stick it in the refrigerator for about 30 min before I drink it.

Also try using Almond Milk, unsweetened as a base. Plain or vanilla. Both 30 calories a cup!.

costco Premier Protein shakes ready to drink. Eleven ounces, 160 calories, and 30g of Protein. You get 18 each for $24.99. They make chocolate and vinalla. I stick my shake in the freezer for about 45-50 minutes to make it slush or a smoothie. No after taste for me. Adkins Avantage gave me an after taste and not as much protein in each unit.

Try Vitamin Shoppe or GNC for Designer whey. I love chocolate but vanilla almond good too.
