Muscle Milk?



Recommended Posts

Who likes Muscle milk?? I am thinking of picking some up but I am so tired of trying to find Protein that isn't icky. I'd like to make some protein ice cream too.

I dont like most Protein shakes either. But I like coffee flavored ones. And I can tolerate the vanilla flavored ones when I add a tsp reduced fat PB. I live in India, so I get a limited choice in the brands. I haven't tried Muscle milk yet.

I drink Optifast VLCD. The others that I've tried are Indian brands - so no help to you really, sorry!

How far post-op are you? If you are in the solids phase, you could probably try some Protein Bars? I like the Quest bars! You could try samples of different brands and buy those which you like.

I actually didn't mind the muscle milk and surprisingly enough, the banana creme wasn't horrible either!

I have tried the chocolate Muscle Milk Light. I like it. It has the consistency of chocolate milk.

I like the muscle milk light, but the regular muscle milk was gross to me. It tasted like thick chalk.

Well I don't like the Protein Shakes either. But I found it better to make my own flavor insnead of buying flavored ones. I bought the dot Protein Powder no flavor and I add 1 bannana and 1 scoop Protein powder, 1 tble spoon peaubt butter, 1/2 or 1 cup soy milk, add ice to blender and this was much better for me to tolerate.

I like the vanilla Muscle Milk Light, but it does have a sort of "super sweet" quality to it. The cartons that I get at costco (I am cheap) have 20g Protein. Out of the vanilla ready to drink products, it has been the best until I noticed yesterday that Premier Protein recently changed the formula on their ready to drink vanilla (which I previously hated). I bought and tried the new Premier vanilla and I think it is much better than the old formula, less gritty by far. So, if you tried that before and didn't like it, you might wish to try the new formula.

The manufacturers of Muscle Milk also make a powdered product under the brand "Cytosport". I buy this at costco (comes in large bags) and add it to coffee for 27 g of Protein. The Cytosport mixes very well with hot or warm coffee.< /p>

I didn't like the Light chocolate Muscle Milk, I thought it tasted really sweet and thick. My favorite so far is actually Bariatric Advantage's Chocolate. I tried it in the ready-to-go bottle. It was pretty yummy.

I tried a Cookies n' Cream one a few days ago and didn't care for it. It's a product my NUT normally advises against, but I'm having trouble with some of the more standard Proteins so she suggested I try it. I don't think I'll be buying many more. Maybe if I'm on the road and NEED something, and can find it at a gas station or something. I might be willing to try some other flavors but I don't think anything with banana would be one of them. :)

Muscle Milk seems too sweet for my taste. the only one I like is the strawberry Creme, not as sweet. I like the rtd Pure Protein chocolate or the Premier chocolate from costco. I never liked the taste of powdered so gave all that away.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
