Help Me Find A Protein Supplement That I Like!

I am slacking seriously on my Protein supplements because, after being on a liquid diet for so long, I have run into "taste burnout." All the ones I have tried leave me with a horrible after taste or bad breath. Here are the ones I have tried so far with no success:

Protimax

Atkins

GNC's whey Protein powder (THE MOST HORRIBLE STUFF EVER!!!)

Any suggestions?

The premier shakes are really good. I have tried both choc and vanilla. The choc taste better to me.

I do not like the premiere shakes - I have only tried vanilla though, and it took almost 2 hours to drink it.

I have had a hard time finding a shake that I like. The other day I was riding around a town a couple towns away and saw a complete nutrition store. I decided to check it out. I told the guy what I was looking for and he led me to some huge Protein powder bottles. I asked if they had any little packets I could buy before I bought this huge thing and didn't like it.

He said I could try some in the store, or he could send me home with a couple samples. I opted for the take home samples. He gave me two full size scoop samples to take home, he put them in really nice reusable cups with lids.

He also said that he prefers his to be made the night before and kept in the fridge. I went home and gave it a try. Made it the night before. He gave me a sample of "Reclaim Smart Smoothies" one in chocolate mint and the other mocachino (sp?) latte. I'm not a coffee fan so I tried this first. OMG it was so good. No aftertaste at all! Really did taste good with not a strong coffee taste at all. I was thrilled, so tried the chocolate mint the next day. Even better!!! So good!

I know there are other Protein drinks out there that have much more protein (this had 20 grams plus the 8 from my milk), but I can't and don't enjoy the other ones. But these are by far the best I have had - they are also expensive, 39.99 for a 1.5 pound container, but they have coupons online for 10 off 40.

Next time I go in I'm going to try some non-chocolate ones.

Newbie pre sleeve and so far CHIKE isy fav !

The yogurt one sounds good, but, being only 6 weeks post op, I couldn't eat a cup of anything if I tried. lol

Yes, at six weeks, I used 1/2 cup yogurt. It took about 45 minutes to get it down.

I can't stomach even the thought of any dessert flavored protein. And the bubbles from the unflavored are just as bad. I'm just picking high protein foods to get to my goal protein. I really wish I could find something i could tolerate. Right now homemade frappuchinos are my morning protein shake.

The bad breath could be a side-effect from the higher Protein diet (ketosis). I have also been struggling with getting in enough protein. I have tried Syntrax, Isopure, Premier, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Chike, GoTo Lean Body and a few others. I am just starting the puréed and can only get 2 tablespoons down.

What is working for me right now is Braum's fat-free milk (they pull Water out & add extra dry milk) which gives it 13 grams of protein in 8 ounces; add unflavored Isopure powder (28 grams protein) & whatever flavor I want. sugar-free puddings, SF Jello, Torani syrups, etc. plus I mix & let sit in the frig overnight or at least 2 hours. Good luck!
