I have tried several of the protein drinks and had almost given up on finding on that I like. Then, somewhere else in this forum, I saw someone mention Nu-tek Pro5. I looked it up and found a nutrition store that sells it (there is only one in my state). I called the store and they were so super nice and knowledgeable. They mailed me a big bag of like eight samples along with a free shaker bottle!!! It was just a gut instinct when I read about this stuff, but I knew I would like it. And I was right!! I have loved every flavor I have tried! They also have a Nu-Tek Pro 5 HERS which says it also has added vitamins for hair, skin and nail health (it only comes in choc and vanilla though) but it is delicious! Worth a try! Hope this helps.

Thank you for all the recipes!

I have a bunch of the recipes but don't know how to add attachments in here but you can email me and I will send you the whole file. E-mail softy1260@gmail.com

That's a great list of recipes. I haven't been having any problems with my Protein powders going down, but those look like a fun way to mix it up!

Another great source of protein is plain Greek yogurt.

I used the unjury chicken Protein powder when I wanted something not sweet. I also like Gold Standard French Vanilla Creme mixed with soymilk and a packet of Starbucks Via Italian Roast Decaf. Tastes like a latte to me.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting all of those receipes. Some of them sound great. I do not have any trouble with the chocolate or strawberry shakes as I was on a liquid diet of nothing but shakes for 8 months as a diet in years past. But I might just have to buy some vanilla and give some of those a try. Thanks for sharing your information.

I need a moment to vent and i need advice

I was sleeved December 20th ! I need something some sort of advice on what to drink for Protein..vanilla and chocolate are just making me want to vomit...they're gross. I need to get all of my protein in and i find it harder and harder everyday to do so! Please tell me there were more people that went through what im going through.

Thanks

I was gagging on the potein shakes from my doctor, myoplex vanilla, unjury. I was told to get the Premier Potein shakes from Sams. They are 5 carbs and 30 grams per 11 ounces. They taste like chocolate milk to me. I drink 1-1/5 a day and get the remaining protein from other sources. Good luck, you have to try a few until you find what you can handle.

CHAR60, EXCELLENT LIST OF RECIPES!!!!

I USE THE BOOST HIGH Protein shakes strawberry & VANILLA

ALSO THE SPECIAL K Protein Shakes

If anyone needs more recipes let me know I have a list of 195 that I received on here. Will be more than happy to send them on. I don't know how to add attachments on the site but can send them list via e-mail.

^{YES CHAR. SEND THEM TO BIGDADDYDLOW@GMAIL.COM}

^{THANKS SO MUCH!!}

If you go to a GNC or similiar store they sell protein drink mixes that taste like punch, orange juice etc and they are loaded with protein. granted it is not like drinking a Pepsi but they did mix them up for me and let me taste before I bought. I went with the very berry and one glass a day is over 30 g of protein. I am sure that different brands vary but try them out. Find one that you like after tasting and buy it. It makes up over half of the protein you need in 1 glass. I actually have no problem drinking the chocolate and strawberry shakes. I also have a cream of chicken and a cream of tomato that comes from the same place I order the shake mix and they are pretty good and have 14 g protein.

I drink one of these 25 g shots twice a day (actually, I drink a half one four times a day). http://www.pureprotein.net/pages/category.aspx?cat=SPECIALTY#Protein_Shots The grape ones are available in boxes of 6 at Target. A little pricey (around $2 each), but so worth it to not drink those nasty shakes. The fruit punch flavor is better, and you can order it online.

25 g of high-quality Protein in less than 3 oz of liquid, then you can drink whatever you want the rest of the day for hydration instead of nursing a Protein shake. I'm only two weeks out, but I'm not sure how I would have made it this far and met my protein goals without these. I just ordered a few cases online, as they're going to be a staple for me.

I realize I sound like I work for the company, but I don't, I swear :-)
