Best Protein Shake Ever

I had my surgery on Oct. 15th & I was beginning to think I would just starve until I could finally eat real food. The Protein shake requirement was killing me because everything tasted terrible.

Today I went to the health food store & asked what they recommended: About Time Protein shakes. They were $3 each, so I thought I'd try a couple. The first one I tried was Birthday Cake flavor. It tasted just like the birthday cake milkshakes I got at the convenience shop.

I'm so glad I found this brand...now I can get in my protein without too much hassle.

They have other flavors, too, which I haven't tried yet, but I will. I also mixed it with milk (lactaid) instead of Water. I didn't add anything else.

And I don't work for them, either. I was just so excited to find something I liked that meets all the requirements. They have samples on their website:

thnx for sharing!! getting tired of my shakes, so I would love to try something new

Thanks for the info, I'm going to have to try those. So far I have found that I like Chike the best. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Pure Protein, Premiere Protein and Syntax nectar aren't bad either.

Thanks for the info! I ordered a couple sample packs (had to get the birthday cake) for $3.99 each and they offer FREE shipping, which is nice.

I have been trying to find new Protein drinks and powders to try. I like the Isopure powders, but no ready to invest in pounds of it just yet. Ive been getting alot of sample packs. I just got my nectar sample and matrix sample today. I started on the Protein powder brand from walmart (cant remember the name) that was $14 to $20, its was way to foamy and SO GLAD its all gone now... Thanks again!

:( I got so excited and went straight to the site to order some, but they don't ship to Australia :'( no birthday cake protein shakes for puppyphat.

I just got a sample pack of the Syntrax Nectars yesterday and so far so good! The Cappucino and the Double Stuffed Cookie are great!

Yes, that's true, but I'm saving so much money on food since I don't ready out or buy junk, I figure it's worth the price. I found it at my local health food store & it seems more reasonable than the online prices.

I enjoy the GNC Total Lean products. The ready made shakes are delicious, especially the dark chocolate. Also have vanilla & strawberry in ready made shakes. Other varieties available in powder.

These have no chalky after taste.

What other flavors should I sample? I don't want to do the normal chocolate and vanilla. Has anyone tried the mocha mint?

I recently tried the banana. It was good. I use birthday cake the most. Didn't like the strawberry. I haven't tried any of the chocolate kinds.

I understand completely! I am starting to get all of my protein from food! The shakes are now only for emergencies or fast breakfasts.
