Which protein is best for "our" needs?

[pamypsoup 11]

I went to Walmart today and by the orange juice section ' date=' on the top shelf I found a great Protein drink, it's called "Protein Plus" its perishible, it's made by Bolthouse Farms (15.2oz) has 30 gr. Protein, low fat I bought the blended coffee flavor, and it is great, the best ice tried so far, it's not a powder it's an already made, I'm still trying to find my right protein, and I think this is going to be it.[/quote']

I just got this today...i got the mango one....i really liked it!!

Please stay away from these. Though they are high protein, you need to be checking the label. It says right on the label "not low calorie"

Holy cow some of those are SUPER high in carbs! Holy carb! lol My NUT wants me to stay under 50g of carbs a day and between 40-70g Protein a day. So for the drinks I need SUPER high in protein and super low in carbs. I LOVE this thread guys! I didn't know that the big companies sell sample packs! I am ording some right now from Unjury! chocolate milk and chicken broth were a HUGE love of mine before surgery so it sounds like it's gonna be right up my ally.

First off, I am a total newbie in the Protein Drink world--- just beginning the sampling stage for my up coming surgery. I've read in another forum about how great "Sunkist Protein" drinks/shots are. I've attached the nut info of the shots I found online. Does anyone have thoughts or info on this "special type" of Protein they use? I'm thinking these shots might be good in my early days post- surgery. I appreciate your thoughts;)

I regularly go on rants about these products. In the past I've tried to find ways to be nice about it, but I've failed miserably.

First off THANK YOU for posting the label. Notice in the ingredients the first thing listed in their "protein blend" is collagen. This is where these shots derive most of their protein. Your body cannot absorb the Proteins in collagen. These shots are PURE GARBAGE. Anybody that recommends them is caught up in the hype of Protein Shots & has not actually done the research. Collagen, aka Gelatin fail miserably at every protein measuring test out there.

If you would like to verify this yourself google the words COLLAGEN & PDCAAS together.

Dear Sir,

Any thoughts on "Optimum Nutrition" "Platinum Hydro Whey" or "100% Gold Standard " ?

I've checked the labels, and they are good sources their numbers are great too. Unfortunately, I've not tasted them so I can't say anything as to their flavor.

Here's what I said about them in another post.

Well at least the Hydro Whey

Gold Standard is a blend of whey isolate & whey concentrate. Typically concentrates taste better, so mixing them makes the shake more palatable

Thanks a Lot.

I like Syntrax Nectar. The double stuffed cookie is AWESOME. T hey have many that are good bjbariatric.com sells the nectar sample packets. If you google Syntrax sample packets it gives many places. Try the samples 1st

I have tried premier, optimum nutrition, bariatric advantage.... The best I've found and fits all the needed criteria is champion nutrition stack the chocolate is super good honestly the only one I've been able to tolerate and drink I actually wanted more when it was gone lol
