Protein - Brands?



Recommended Posts

I did not try powdered Protein. I drank the premade stuff. Iso-Pure seemed to be the least evil tasting. You can get it at GNC and it is carb free. The Alpine Punch and Grape flavors were better.

Reggers:

The chocolate Sportpharma brand is delicious and has 25 gms of Protein per serving. I bought it at my local grocery store where it costs about .47 a serving. I know it comes in big cannisters so it will probably will be even cheaper. I love the Fruit drinks from protica.com but they are very expensive (almost $2.30 per). They come in a shatter proof pre-measured containers however, so they are easy to travel with. Anyone else have suggestions????

If you like the taste of Protein powder (which I do in milk based drinks like fruit smoothies) I like Puritan Pride's powder. They can be bought online and shipped to you. I haven't tried unflavored yet, I am still waiting to find out about being banded.

Unjury is the best one I've had. Today I picked one up from Kashi Go-lean that isn't too bad. The only reason I'm on liquid protien though is because of DENTAL work!! lol

I second the vote for the Syntrax nectar. I love the Lemonade and the Cappuccino flavors. I've replace my morning latte with a nectar latte - I use a little cream to add fat since I don't believe in low fat eating and the Nectar is fat free. It's wonderful stuff. You can get it at bariatriceating.com or at a store near you. The online store sells sample sizes and a smaller 1 pound container if you're wanting to just try it first.

I LOVE Matrix 5.0 vanilla...I can add cocoa powder, strawberries, sf Reese's pb cups, use orange or grapefruit Crystal Light, etc. It's my favorite Protein powder! :)

I totally recc. trying SOY based Protein powder as opposed to whey. It tastes so much better. Not bitter and chalky. Specifically, the GNC brand protein powder. It's 15$ for a pretty big canister. My only complaint is that it is a little sweet -- not fake sweet - just sweet.

The other one is New Whey Protein 25gm in 3oz put in freezer get slushy its like having a snow cone!!

I'm still 4 months away (if the insurance gods approve) from my surgery, but thought I would try some of these Protein Shakes you folks suggest. Have any of you tried Bolthouse Farms "Perfectly Protein? " It's vanilla chai tea with soy protein - 10g of protein per serving. It that good, bad or completely inappropriate for the band? It tastes great, so if it's the right stuff, I'd like to use it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
