Best Tasting Protein Powders



Recommended Posts

Surgery is Monday and I have yet to find one I can stomach. Tried pure Protein from costco, syntha 6, too sweet, muscle milk light. Is Isopure a good one? And what about the unflavored Unjury powder to put in broth etc, I'm getting nervous I won't find anything!

I would like to know myself, right now I am on my liquid pre-op diet. I am using 100% Designer whey vanilla Protein, it has 18 grams of protein per. serving. I like it because I found a recipe I really like called a cinnamon roll. I add a few shakes of butter buds and cinnamon, 2 splenda packs and a pour of vanilla, I really don't measure. I love it that way but I am sure to tire of it, and want something else. I just ordered some unflavored Unjury and some Isopure. Also wondering about taste. Thank you mamakate.

I also love the nectar chocolate Truffle. strawberry Mousse is really good too. I am so thankful for these because before them, it felt impossible to find one I like.

I have found that so far the Unjury chicken broth is the only one I can drink consistently. I add a little garlic salt to it and it is not bad. I have not found any others that I can even stomach. I have been drinking Slim Fast Low Sugar (20g Protein and 4 carbs). I am not getting all of my protein in each day but I am trying my best. My program wants you to get in 100g of protein each day and I feel like that is almost impossible for me :unsure: .

I seem to be one of the rare persons that loves unjury. I like them because they are not as sweet as some brands and because they don't foam up as much either. I could not handle thick foam early on! (Note: a Blender Bottle helps.)

My go-to flavors are chocolate supreme, vanilla ( surprisingly my favorite), and chicken Soup. I also have the unflavored. Was not a fan of the cheese sauce, but it could have been worse.

Their strawberry sorbet is ok too.

I have had a hard time too. Hate the proteins! Finally tried the Isopure unflavored in Crystal Lite fruit punch and I think I can do it. Also tried using less than full dose. Will have to drink more, but tastes better so I won't mind. Haven't tried it in hot liquids yet.

I agree with above---Nectar. nectar mixes easily and doesn't have that "chalky" texture. I like the strawberry and fuzzy naval. The vanilla is good too.

I love the Jay Robb chocolate and strawberry. It's sweetened with Stevia so it does have that weird Stevia aftertaste, but you get used to it. Currently I Do one scoop in 8 ounces of skim milk with a splash of vanilla extract and a handful of ice blended in the magic bullet. I also sometimes put a half teaspoon of instant coffee in the chocolate along with the vanilla extract, milk and ice.

I discovered if I chew my citrus Calcium supplement and then start sipping on my shake it doesn't have the aftertaste. Also the COLDER the better for me. When it's cold it tastes better.

I'm sure after surgery I won't be fixing it in a blender because I don't want the gas .... and I don't know if I will tolerate drinking cold, but for right now this is what's working for me.

I like the Syntrax Nectar the chocolate truffle, strawberry mousse and the Cappuccino is all good. before surgery I drank the pure Protein since I cannot tolerate it. The Syntrax nectar has been all my stomach could tolerate

I have spent a fortune looking for powders that I like. My favorite is Jay Robb tropical dreamsicle. Bariatric Advantage has several good flavors as well. I like to have Jay Robb vanilla with Torani sugar free syrups like black cherry. If you like coffee, Click has an excellent vanilla latte. I order everything from Amazon.< /p>

I like Bariatric Advantage...I have Vanilla and Strawberry...those are the only ones I have tried...they do get a little bit foamy when I shake them so will see how we can tolerate them after I have my surgery on the 17th...

There should be a Protein Shake swap on here like we have a clothing exchange. I have some powders that I am not in love with and I have no idea what to do with them now, but I'm loathed to throw the out. I also have some that I like a lot but wouldn't mind sending someone a scoop to try. Is that weird!? Hahaha

Have you noticed any difference in whey vs soy Protein? I dislike the texture of soy even though the flavor isn't bad. I just can stomach how it feels. Whey seems to dissolve better.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
