Places to get liquid protein samples



Recommended Posts

I didn't know that there was a certain type of Protein that we needed. Thanks for the info. I wanted to find out why whey is better for us and below is a nice simple explanation (taken from protein-powder-resource.com)...

whey Protein powder is the most common type you'll see. Basically it's the liquid that comes after the curdleing process. Once this is done, it makes it to where your body can absorb it. This is what I take everyday because it has the highest Biological Value (BV) Here are 3 main forms:

- Concentrate

- Isolate

- Hydrolysate

Concentrates are low in fat and cholesterol. On the flipside, there are higher levels of milk carbohydrates. Your body absorbs about 55%-60%. This will run you the cheapest.

Isolates removes the fat & lactose. This makes for a high concentration. Your body then absorbs 70%-80%. These are price in the medium range.

Hydrolyzed are the easiest to absorb, but cost the most. Basically the same as isolates except, this is the most absorable type thats made. That means your body absorbs 99%!

There is alot more information on this type. My purpose here was to give you the basics without getting all technical. Whichever you pick, make sure the fat content per scoop is low. Sure, some are cheaper then others, but the extra cost might be worth it if your trying to lose body fat!

I wonder which Protein drink brand has the most hydrolyzed Protein?

Both of the ones I use the most say protein Isolate.

Does anyone see the hydrolyzed protein on any of their containers?

Where to get Protein foods and samples

Here is another list of where to get samples:

1

Chike Nutrition - will send you a sample of each flavor they make for the cost of shipping

unjury - sells samples of all their flavors.

Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks! - will make up a sample baggie of any protein they sell. Also has pre-packaged samples from the manufacturers that make them

Nashua Nutrition - Protein powders :: Protein Powder Samples (1 Serving) - sells many protein samples from many companies include Optimum Nutrition and Syntrax (makers of Syntrax Nectars, which are very popular)

Protein Sample Starter Kit - Our bestselling RTD's & Powdered Proteins PLUS - a starter pack to get you through the first few weeks. It's not all Protein drinks.

Special Discount Packages : Laparoscopic Associates: new eStore - my surgeon's starter packs. Includes some protein Soups and other "bariatric" foods.

Netrition Protein Sampler Pack - sells a sample pack of their "Most popular protein products". But this is not a WLS site, but a general nutrition site so some of the samples may not be appropriate for us. (Most in the picture looked fine though.)

In terms of buying protein in stores, GNC sells many of their Proteins in individual packets and in smaller bags. They will also let you return any protein powder you buy from them even if it's opened. So you can try it and, if you hate it, you can return it.

Jay Robb makes single serving packets of their proteins. I bought them at Vitamin Shoppe.

Hope this helps someone. I just copied and pasted this from another board:

unjury

https://www.unjury.com/ssl/purchasing.php

Samples $1.75 each

nectar Syntrax

You can get a box of all 11 nectar Protein flavors directly from Syntrax for $4.99 plus $5.99 for shipping. Contact Rick Davis Medical Sales Manager nectar@si03.com1-866-333-7403 ext. 803

Thank you for this information. I ordered the samples from Syntrax. It's $13 w/ free shipping. And I just ordered the Unjury Sampler. I really don't like shakes, but the ones that are similar to juice, I feel will be a better consistency for me. Thanks again!!

I went into my local GNC (Hamilton, NJ) and explained I know NOTHING about them, never had em, and the sales person was fantastic! He let me try everything in little dixie cups to help me find something, and as posted before, he told me I could return it if I wasnt completely satisfied. I didnt know it would cost me so much either :-/ so he knocked off $10 and gave me a free shaker too!!

Today I purchased AMPLIFY smoothie and it has 20g of Protein but the crap was 50.00 is that an ok price?

You have to watch the size of the package. Some have 2 lbs in a container, some have 5 lbs, some of them don't even have 2 lbs. If it's 5 lbs for that price, that's about normal. I pay 44 something for 5 lbs of myofusion choc/peanut butter.

      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.
