I need a good tasting protein shake



Recommended Posts

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! :)

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.

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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
