  • The CVS brand. Its in a bag. The chocolate one is really good.

  • I don't get these 60grams ones, I was always told your body can't absorb more than 25 grams at a time no matter what so why do they make them higher?? So people that don't know this can buy them??

  • My fave is Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle. The fruit flavors were good to me right after surgery, I just mixed with Water. I might order another sampler and experiment with smoothies by adding fruit

I use pure Protein too. I have a really hard time getting a whole one down, but over the course of a day it can be done since its only 11oz. Skip costco tho in the beginning wife you won't know if you like it & go to fresh & easy if you have one & buy it in smaller amounts. I prefer chocolate, but use vanilla in coffee sometimes, or add frozen berries & sf banana pudding to make a smoothie. If you use frozen berries you don't need ice watering it down & adding to the amt you have to drink.

Best wishes!! It was super hard for me but for some its better. Regardless, it gets better!!

I'm having a lot of success with the Syntrax Nectars. I'm 5 dpo and I've been adding them to Powerade zero or Water and knocking out my Fluid and Protein in one bottle. I ordered the sample packet and I think once i'm done with it I will buy another sampler.

I tried the walmart brand, and I couldn't get past the first swallow. It felt like sand.

I also use Muscletech Nitrotech Hardcore pro series from GNC and EAS carbadvantage Protein shakes. I used these before the surgery and I can still stomach them.

I also got the syntrax sampler pack, which combos are good as far as flavors to mix. I tried the apple ecstacy with 4 oz apple juice 4 oz water and it was pretty painful to get down. I dont know what flavors would mix well.

I like the EAS ones. I get the 20 gram per made ones. I like the chocolate ones the best

I wouldnt drink a 60 gram protein in one setting. Our body only absorbs 25-30 grams at a time, and that takes 3 hours. inless you sip on it all day you are just not abosrbing the protein. Im struggling with protein right now, my sleeve doesnt like the thickness of almost all of them. My husband is grumbling cause i probably have 300 bucks worth of powders that i dont like. Im hoping eventually i will be able to drink them. But i like Muscle milk ok, i put ice in it and make a smoothie and ive been drinking the protein "shots" once it hits my tongue its over i cant swallow, so i pour it in a shot glass and toss it to the back of my throat like im downing tequila.Takes me about a half hour doing it like that but it ends up being 46 grams at the end of the day, then i dont stress cause i know i eat enough meat to cover the rest.

I drink an Oh Yeah vanilla or strawberry shake every morning. They have 32 grams of protein but are pretty expensive. For the rest of the day I supplement with Unjury which you have to order online. I mix a scoop of vanilla with orange crystal light its delicious. Also they have chicken flavor which I mix with my broth. Unjury have about 20 grams per scoop. You can buy individual packs at $2 per pack so you can sample it out. Hope this helps.
