GNC Gold Standard Whey



Recommended Posts

Hi all. So I bought a huge container of this Protein shake from GNC and I have no idea what to do with it. I tried stirring it in my coffee since it was French Vanilla but that was really awful. Is anyone out there using this product? and how?

The smell of all the Protein drinks is off putting.

I found a ripe banana thrown in, not only naturally sweetens the drink, it add thickness. I can't stand any of the vanilla drinks.

I honestly can't stomach any of these Protein powder drinks unless they are blended for at least 3 to 4 minutes to eliminate graininess and then into the refrigerator for overnight cooling.

Hi, I wasn't crazy about GNC's Protein it was the only one that made me nauseous it helped to mix in Nesquik Sugar Free Chocolate or some sugar free pudding I also used it to make sugar free pudding.

I totally felt the same way about Protein Drinks. They made me GAG so bad and the smell and taste were just NASTY.

Until I met Pure Protein Vanilla mix it is THA BOMB. No protein smell or taste. It is great. I mix 1/2 Water and milk and it is not too thick. Sometimes, I add a banana or Peanut Butter and it is great.

They also have RTD ones. The strawberry Cream is SOOOOOO good and so is the peanut butter! You should try it. Vitamin Shoppe has the RTD ones and Target nad Walmart sell the powder!

Kelly :D

      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!!
