I personally love nectar and Matrix, the variety of flavors that they have is wonderful! If you buy online, this might interest you, mybariatricpantry.com has a 5% off coupon code that my doctors office gave me to use on those Proteins and I think they give you samples too. The code is 'syntraxmbp'

My husband recently purchased isopure protein mix for himself. Does anyone have experience with that brand?

Most people think Isopure is icky but everyone has different taste. I hope your husband likes it.

I just bought 100% whey chocolate supreme from gnc 24 bucks for 2.4 pounds and its yummy mind you the price is with membership

A lot of people ask for Protein drink advice, and since I've had a really hard time find a Protein Drink that I could tolerate, I've tried a LOT of them. I thought I'd share my assessments here in case it helps someone else.

Unless otherwise stated, all the items listed have at least 15 G protein and no more than 6 g carbs. "RTD" means ready-to-drink, I.e. drinks in bottles or cartons. Everything else is a powder.

All powders are either whey-based or vegan/plant Proteins. All whey items state that they are lactose free.

All powders were mixed with unsweetened almond milk and ice cubes in a shaker jar/ball.

Ready-to-Drinks:

Premier Protein, RTU, vanilla, from Walmart.

Extremely sweet, with a strong artificial sweet taste from sucralose (Splenda) and aculfesame-K (ace-k).

Very smooth texture.

Medium body (I.e. Thickness, as in a milkshake vs juice).

ATKINS ADVANTAGE, RTU, coffee flavor, from Harris Teeter grocery.

Extremely sweet, although the coffee flavor cuts it a bit during the first few sips. Gave me a headache.

Very smooth texture.

Medium-thin body.

GNC TOTAL LEAN 25 shake, RTU, strawberries & cream, from GNC.

Very sweet, with a artificial sweet taste from sucralose (Splenda) and aculfesame-K (ace-k). Light strawberry flavor.

Very smooth texture.

Medium-thick body. Very filling but it does make me burp and feel a bit bloated for a while after drinking.

NOTE - the powdered version of Total Lean 25 is MUCH higher in carbs.

OH YEAH! NUTRITIONAL SHAKE, RTU, strawberries & cream, from Harris Teeter grocery.

Very sweet, with a artificial sweet taste from sucralose (Splenda) and aculfesame-K (ace-k). Bright, full-bodied strawberry flavor.

Very smooth texture.

Thick body. Very filling but it does make me burp and feel a bit bloated for a while after drinking.

This brand has recently started being carried in Harris Teeter grocery stores. Haven't seen it anywhere else.

MUSCLE MILK, RTD, chocolate, from Walmart & Harris Teeter grocery.

Very sweet, with a artificial sweet taste from sucralose (Splenda) and aculfesame-K (ace-k).

Very smooth texture.

Thick body. Very filling but it does make me burp and feel a bit bloated for a while after drinking.

This brand has recently started being carried in Harr

Powders:

unjury, chocolate, from BariatricAdvantage.com

Very sweet, artificial sweetened flavor.

Very smooth texture, especially for a powder.

Thin body.

I found this not to be filling at all.

NOW SPORTS PEA PROTEIN, unflavored, from GNC (vegan).

Unsweetened. Tastes a lot like dirt. Might be good in Soups, or blended with fruit post-op, but would taste odd with sweeter drinks.

Standard powdered protein texture (sort of chalky but not gritty) .

Medium body.

PERFORMANCE AMP WHEYBOLIC EXTREME ORIGINAL, unflavored, from GNC.

Unsweetened. Mild whey flavor, would be fine with anything.

Standard powdered protein texture (sort of chalky but not gritty) .

Medium body.

MUSCLE MILK NATURALS, chocolate, from GNC. *my favorite!*

Perfect, mildly sweet, with no artificial sweetener flavor. Moderately chocolatey flavor. Sweeteners are fructose, stevia, & monk fruit. Least sweet of all items reviewed.

Standard powdered protein texture (sort of chalky but not gritty) .

Medium-thick body. Very filling.

NOTE - this has 10 g carbs & 26 G protein per serving. It's more than the 6 carbs per serving my nut wants but less than the 11 g she said was the absolute max. To reduce carbs/protein ratio and keep the flavor, I sometimes mix it with protein-enriched almond milk and Water. Unlike Muscle Milk RTD, this does not make me bloated or gassy, so I think it's the sucralose.

Mixture of milk-derived proteins, including whey isolates. Like all whey proteins on this list, claims to be lactose free.

JAY ROBB WHEY PROTEIN, chocolate, from GNC. *my 2nd favorite!*

Sweet, without artificial sweetener flavor. Lovely milk-chocolate flavor. Sweetener is stevia but this lacks the strong bitter aftertaste that many stevia-sweetened products have. Only 1 carb per serving.

Smooth texture, especially for a powder. Nearly as smooth as Unjury (but more filling).

Medium-thin body. Filling.

100% whey protein isolate. Like all whey proteins on this list, claims to be lactose free.

VEGA ONE, chocolate, from GNC (vegan).

Extremely-sweet, artificial sweetened flavor.

Slight gritty/grainy texture.

Thin body.

GARDEN OF LIFE ORGANIC PLANT PROTEIN, chocolate, from health food store (vegan).

Extremely sweet, artificial sweetened flavor.

Slight gritty/grainy texture.

Thin body.

GARDEN OF LIFE RAW PROTEIN, chocolate, from GNC (vegan).

VERY sweet w slightly bitter aftertaste (sweetener is stevia).

Slight gritty/grainy texture.

Thin body.

RAW FIT, coffee flavor, from health food store (vegan).

Sweet but missy taste, w slightly bitter aftertaste (sweetener is stevia).

Extremely gritty texture. Tastes like you are eating ground up leaves & sticks.

Thin body.
