So I have the RTD shakes from costco. Pre-op they were a breeze to get down because I drank them through a straw. Now I'm post-op and I pour them in a cup. They are so thick and clumpy it grosses me out and I can't get them down. They have like these big white flakes in them. Is this normal or did I get a bad batch?

I only had flakes in the vanilla but drank them anyway. I agree, post-op they seemed thicker. Pour them over ice and let it melt a bit, that seemed to help, and sometimes I used to thin them with a little skim milk.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I will try thinning them out with milk. Adds more protein for a bonus

You want to make sure you are mixing enough milk or water. They shouldn't be clumpy. Try using a blender maybe? They ALWAYS taste better with skim milk! You can also try the premier drinks. They sell them at Sams and CostCo as well, and they're Ready-to-drink

Yeah I was gonna suggest putting it in the blender as well!!!

The shakes I was referring to are ready to drink from costco. They just were harder to tolerate for me post-op. I just settled on some nectar mixed with Water.

I used the Premier RTD shakes from Costco and never had clumps? How weird. I have tried the Muscle Milk ones now and they are much smoother, but a little on the sweet side for me.

Well I guess they are not really clumpy. I used to drink them out of a straw. But when I pour them into a cup it does not come out smooth and I can see little flakes. It grosses me out.
