Best protien shakes?

Hello...

Can anyone recommend a good protien shake that is low is sugar?

Sugar is one of my migraine triggers and I find a lot of these shakes are very high in them.

Thanks!

This is the million dollar question! There are a lot of options out there and a lot that are sugar free or low sugar. Your best bet is to check out the nearest health food store with a good return policy because it can get expensive trying protein powder. I returned a few that made me feel sick and thank goodness I could cuz some are really expensive. Good Luck to you- I think finding a good protein shake has been tough for a lot of us. Some good brands to start your search are: Thorne, Metagenics, Vega, and Jarrow.

Good question I'm pre op. I have migraines too. I started on Protein shakes 1 month ago. Had pre op class today. This was what My Nut recommended

Body fortress

Myoplex light

Premier shakes found at costco

Isopure

The class was about reading the protein shake labels. Looking for high protein and low sugar. Also dehydration can triggers headache so getting Water in. Hope this helps.

Congrats

Matrix is ok but I haven't found one that I really like a lot. I would like one without any flavor at all and no sweetness. Thoughts?

Pure Protein RTD 12 oz. has 110 calories, 1g fat, 1g sugar & 23g protein.

Isopure=2g of carbs, 210 cals, 50g of protein, and zero grams of sugar. I buy the dutch chocolate powder and it taste really good. I drink 2 a day and mix it with milk which also adds protein.

Premier Protien at Sam's. They are 30 gms of Protein - 1 gm of sugar - 160 cals. Already mixed so tugs at my lazy side too. It is getting easier to stomach the shakes the farther out I get from surgery. (6 months out now)

Thank you all - these are excellent choices.

I've tried Unjury and syntrax nectar. It's hard to get down protein shakes but I tried Isopure zero carb today and I actually like it. No sugar. It's clear and tastes like Hi-C. Kind of expensive, but I haven't found any other protein powders/drinks that I like.

Unjury. Pure protein isolate (the good stuff) no sugar. You can order sample assortment online for under 20 bucks. Chicken soup is nice for a change especially early out if cold drinks are hard to tolerate.
