Rating Protein Shakes

Hey I saw there is a rating Protein powders topic so i thought it would be best to start my own topic about rating Protein shakes.

Let's keep this discussion related to pre-made protein shakes, not powders.

So far I've tried 5 different protein shakes, only 1 of which I actually like. I'm in my pre op but I'm getting sleeved this Tuesday and I have to decide which Protein shake to live with once I get sleeved. So far ive tried the following,

-Lean Muscle Meal from GNC (26g protein) - disgusting almost threw up

-Muscle Milk from Wawa - ew couldnt drink it

-GNC Total Lean Shake (25g protein) - horrible didnt throw up but couldnt drink it

-Pure Protein Shake from GNC (35g protein) - disgusting chalky taste couldnt drink it

-Bolthouse Farms Protein Plus Shake From Giant (delicious, best shake ive drinken so far). The whole bottle has 64grams of protein in it. However the sugar is high (26g per serving). While I love drinking this now, i dont know if I can after i get sleeved because the most sugar I can have is 15g per serving but its really good.

I've ordered some more protein shakes online from Bariatric Supplement and also im going to Sams Club to purchase Premier Protein shakes. But again both of these protein shakes hardly have any sugar in them, and they may not taste as good as my favorite Bolthouse farms shake.

I just wish I can find a protein shake with 20-30g of protein per serving and like 10-15g of sugar per serving so it actually taste good, so far the only one i love is bolthouse farms.

    If your biggest problem is taste & convenience, I have a couple recommendations. Due to convenience I find myself using Premier Nutrition protien drinks. 11oz 1g sugar, 30g protien Taste wise

  • I personally prefer the powder to the premade shakes. I associate premade with processed foods (silly I know) but I check and compare the amount of sodium and the ingredients in them. IsoPure premad

  • Isopure Zero Carb is the best I have found, the Dutch chocolate and Cookies and Cream are delicious and I don't have to add anything else to them except my Skim Plus milk. Two scoops give 50 grams o

I'm betting it will taste fine. But I've got some really bad news about it. Look at the first ingredient. It's a Gelatin also known as collagen.

This type of Protein is simply not useable by the human body.

Hopefully this will help explain

Oops, Didn't know that. I just decided that it will help not to stay hungry......

I am using the Jay Robb protein. I have tried the vanilla, chocolate and strawberry so far and it is pretty good

I bought EAS Advantage Carb Control shake to try and I don't like it. I like the number of calories and etc... but I just cannot drink it.

This is one that I like cafe caramel RTD EAS AND Adkins advantage . I try to make it thicker by blending it with ice. Especially in the morning I have an hour commute. I am pre- op...

I tried them all and their all nasty, i dont recommend any of them, they all have that horrible whey aftertaste. damn i must of spend so far like $200 just trying different protein powders and shakes and the only one i like so far is bolthouse farms but the sugar is really high, guess thats the only way to mask the whey after taste.

i also ate some greek yogurt and that has 20g of protein, but it's really thick and hard to eat, especially since i just got sleeved last week, and also that greek yogurt doesnt have whey so idk what kind of protein is in it and i dont know if thats the right protein i need to have in my body.

im so lost right now, must i really down these disgusting whey drinks that taste like garbage? cant believe there is nothing out there that can successfully mask that whey aftertaste, there has to be something out there for me. i need to find something already. please anyone? please help. i just placed an order for unjury chicken Soup, maybe that taste good? who knows, im trying anything right now and desperate to find something that taste good, anything.

Blend your protein powder with a handful of frozen mixed berries, makes for a much tastier drink.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Greek yogurt for getting your Protein.

Maybe you should try some soy Protein drinks instead of whey.

i just purchased some Protein Powder from Syntrax nectar whey protein, i ordered cherry flavor, i just hope this taste good, but where do i buy soy protein drinks at?

Most people do like Syntrax nectar.

I can't remember the brand that is soy Protein instead of whey, and I know there is one made from egg protein too. Do you have a GNC, Vitamin Shoppe or a place like that near you? If not, you'll have to do a search online, unless someone else chimes in.

Have you tried using any sugar free syrups? I love the coconut, and a few others. There are 2 brans, Torini and Da Vinci with tons of flavors. Try putting some of that into one of your shakes, and/or blend in frozen berries.

I bought some pure Protein from walmart. I am very pleaed with it. No after taste. The chocolate is very good. I made mine with a little Water, I like mine kinda thick instead of runny.

25 grams of protein per scoop

140 calories

2 grams of sugar
