Best protien shakes?



Recommended Posts

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?

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)

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
