I didn't like the shakes before surgery and I definatly don't after. However, I really need to get more protein into my diet. Anyone know of shakes that are tasty? I'm super picky...please help! Isn't there a site that I can buy samples?

I bought the EAS low carb dutch chocolate shakes (4 for $5 at Wal-mart), they taste like chocolate milk, but were too watery for me, so I bought a bag of powdered chocolate meal replacement and put one scoop of the mix in the shake. Made it taste like a thick chocolate milkshake. You might try something similar. Be sure and get one of the shaker bottles with the spring in it. Best $7 I have ever spent.

Try the Premier Protein shakes. Available at Costco, SAMS Club, Walmart and sometimes even on Amazon. I have been living on their chocolate shakes post-op.

I use the Premier Protein from Sams too. I do know if you call different companies they'll send you some samples to try. I like the Syntrax Nectar kind too. Good luck

Two suggestions -Chike has a website that you can order a variety pack of their flavors from-expensive but they taste very good! Also, my protein of choice is amplified whey protein chocolate from GNC. 3 scoops gives you 60 gms of protein for only 290 cal. I can do 20gms in 4 oz of water and it's only 96 cal! Taste very good also!

I can never just do a plain shake. But I do like the click mocha one, I got it on amazon. My other 2favorites... I take 1 scoop vanilla protein shake put about 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries and a cup of water and blend.. Or I will do a school of chocolate w ice cubes, a cup of water and a spoon full of peanut butter...

Ive tried Chike, EAS, Gatorade, some Wal-Mart brand, and Isopure. Yuck...I just ordered some samples from Vitalady.com. I hope I can find one with those.

I have had lots of luck with Unjury. I like the unflavored with milk and instant coffee, and the chocolate is really good too. They offer a sample pack on their website.

If you try the shakes at Vitamin Shoppe and don't like it they have a 90 day return policy even if its opened.

I have a really hard time with the shakes too!! So I am trying to get Protein other ways. Do you like cottage cheese? I made the Peanut Butter balls, made the injury chicken broth but mixed it in potatoes, scrambled and egg (I'm in soft faze). Have you tried these things? It may help!

Premier protein !!!!!

I'm 3 mths out. Don't like cottage cheese. after all the Soup I had after surgery I could go without seeing it ever again. I just need something to supplement my meals so I don't go for the things I shouldn't have.

Isopure banana cream was one of the few I could tolerate.

Atkins strawberry banana cream shakes! They are the best I've ever had.

I don't like any of them. Dietician said to get over it and start drinking. They all have a weird smell, and that grossed me out. She had me try with a straw. Helps a little.

I too have really struggled with the shakes. Absolutely could not do anything powder, have to do the ready to drink. The smell, texture, everything made me gag. The only ones I've found that I can tolerate is the premier from sam's or costco. GNC has a total lean 25, their brand and again, only the ready to drink. Those are the only two I can get down but I do pour them in a glass of ice and I dont breathe in while drinking...to avoid the smell. I'm not gonna lie and say they are yummy but I've spent a fortune on protein drinks and thats the only two that work for me. Isopure wasnt awful for me but very sour tasting, alpine punch wasn't bad if you like sour stuff. I tried to get protein in with food but am just not able yet at 7 weeks out. The shakes also help with my fluid intake do I'm trying to get at least one in daily. Good luck. Advice to pre-ops...buy stock in protein shakes before starting this journey, lol.
