From VST I've learned that there is quality Protein and so so protein -- I had no idea before coming here!

I've tried a number of Protein shakes and a few protein powders (Syntrax Nector and Prescriptfit) and the only one that I can really stomach are the Atkins shakes. Does anyone know if they contain a quality protein or a low grade?

I ordered a bunch of samples from unjury but I have a feeling I'm not going to fare much better with those based on what I've read here.

Thanks!

I really had a time finding the ingredients for the Atkins lines.

After reviewing them I would say if you just can't stomach whey, these would be a reasonably good alternative.

I also learned of another shake today. It's Jay Robb, it is egg based and stacks up pretty well in Protein quality.

Can you share what you found about the Atkins shakes/powder?

Unfortunately it's bad news for you Louise, Atkins gets its Protein from milk concentrate, soy, & gluten. Milk being the primary ingredient.

Soy & gluten are both incomplete Proteins, but since neither are the primary I think that it is a reasonable option for most people.

Says right on the pack "made with High Quality Protein" these I can stomach. Gastric Sleeve in March 2022 had a leek and could not tolerate protein shakes. I went 2 months on jello, crystal light, and protein gateraid. YUCK! I'm only now starting to get back in to drinking my shake b/c I just can't "eat" enough. A few bites and I'm done. I'm really loving this Mocha Latte flavor. Want to try some others!

I used to love premier protein before surgery.... Not I hate it. too sweet for me.... I have the Atkins Chai or Atkins Coffee. Not the most amount of protein but it tastes good to me .

Add a protein booster to them and that should help get the amounts up closer to where you need them to be.

I’m assuming she means to add protein powder to them.

Non flavored protein powder, dry milk powder milk addition. I like Fairlite protein shakes. I bought 6 flavors of shakes and have choc vanilla and banana powder with my dry powder milk.
