What is the best tasting protein drink?

[happy2behere 2]

My docotr says to get Icopure but many people in my support group meeting hate this...I heard that Biochem is a good one...Any favorites out there? I do no want one that is gritty and prefer something smooth..where can I get samples from? Thanks so much ! This forum has already been so extremely helpful. I have to start my pre op 14 day liquids on April 13th and I don't know what to stock up on...

GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme Chocolate!

(http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3509954)

I got approval for this from my nutritionist - very high quality Protein isolates (much better apparently than Protein concentrate). 60g of protein for 280 calories, though I usually take half of it, so 30g of protein for 140 calories. The container then has 34 servings, and I usually get it on sale for $40.

If you make it in a "Magic bullet" style blender, it gets thick and creamy, if you just shake it in a bottle, it has the consistency of chocolate milk. I like both, depending on what I am in the mood for. I usually add some Benefiber, to get that taken care off...you'll see :-)

Give it a try, you can return open containers at GNC for a full refund, so you really have nothing to lose!

Another vote for a GNC product, whey Isolate 28....strawberry. Blends well, tastes great.

I really like Jay Rob's products. They are reasonably priced, have good flavor and dissolve well when I whisk them up with my Vitamin Water. I got mine at Whole Foods but I imagine you can find it elsewhere, including his web site.

I love the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products, especially the chicken Soup and the chocolate splendor flavors. I mix the chocolate splendor with coffee and it tastes like a yummy high priced coffee drink! My nutritionist said they are made from the high quality Protein isolate.

Go to the Unjury website and you can order a sampler kit for less than $20 and it has 2 packets each of 4 or 5 flavors, a plastic shaker/mixer and a thermometer. The thermometer is needed if you are going to mix with hot liquids as they need to be at 130 degrees or less. I bought an extra thermometer to keep in my desk at work.

Hands down,,, Premier Protein shakes, you can get them at costco at a reasonable price or an Amazon or directly from the company.

There is a sticky thread right in this forum that details a bunch of places to get samples from.

I won't even buy Isopure, I really like a bunch of the Syntrax nectar Flavors as well as unjury chocolate Splendor.

My favorites are Jay Robb also! Best that I have tasted!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I have to put in a vote for the unjury products! I just ordered a starter kit and it had the following contents:

2 packets each vanilla, chocolate splendor, strawberry sorbet, unflavored, and chicken Soup

1 16oz Rubbermaid shaker container

1 trutemp food thermometer (because you can't mix Unjury into temps over 130 degrees F or they get clumpy and gross)

all for $17.95 plus shipping of $6.

The chocolate splendor in the shaker bottle to me tastes like a cross between Ovaltine and Nestle Quik. The vanilla, which I had this morning, tastes kind of like cake batter, or belgian waffle batter, yum!

The packs say to mix with 8oz milk, but I had to go up to 16oz because at 8oz the mix was too sweet for me. Each pack has the following nutritional info:

100 cal (mix only, add cals for milk)

0 g fat

140 mg potassium

35 mg sodium

4 g carb

20 g Protein

I think you can only get it mail order, but it's better than palatable, so it's worth it for me.

Good luck!

I do that too and I think it is great if you like your Protein because it is an easy way to get an extra 8 oz. of Water in!

Hello, I would like to ask a question in regard to your health insurance.I have the same doctor, Dr. David Buchin and I have Empire Gov ' t Plan Insurance and I have to 6 month of supervised visits. My BMI IS 38 and I am 215 lbs. I was wondering what Health Insurnace do you have that you were approved so quickly. I just wanted to know if I have Co-morbidities, which I have high blood pressure and on medication and I am pre-diabetic. Do I still have to get medically supervised. My meeting with Dr. Buchin was that I received the information from the office and now I have to make all of these appointments on my own. Thank You

I second the pretty good flavor of the Wheybolic, only I have it in vanilla. It's very, very tolerable, to the point that I think I finally found a Protein Powder that I can use daily. Yay!
