Big fan of the premiers that you can get from costco or sams. I don't do powders. I am not a fan of muscle milk (too sweet) or isopures (funky after taste). The EAS brand is my next favorite, If for some reason I can't get premiers.

I have tried all kinds. I have settled on Premier pre made chocolate Protein Shakes from Sams with 30 grams. I don't love them, but I can tolerate one every morning.

We love the Nature's Way Meta-Boost in strawberry (drugstore.com). Trader Joe's chocolate is pretty good also.

unjury is the best Protein powder nutritionally, but the only flavors that are good are:

chocolate (mix with Peanut Butter powder... AMAZING)

chicken Soup (mix with Water or chicken broth)

Unflavored (mix in broths, etc, to add protein).

The chocolate with Peanut Butter powder is so good, I actually crave it.

Good luck!

I tried the Unjury chocolate, vanilla, and chicken Soup pre-op, as well as nectar Fuzzy Navel and strawberry Kiwi. I am one of the few who don't like them. I did tons of research and ordered those because they really are the favorites of many. My personal favorite that has been a Godsend is the Premier chocolate with 30g of Protein. I actually enjoy them, and they don't have that funky protein taste that the others did. To me, they taste very close to Ensure, if you've ever had that. In my personal opinion, steer clear of the Premier vanilla. It is completely different and pretty close to nasty. I get the Premier at costco. If I remember correctly, it's $24 for a pack of 18.

Over in the food and Nutrition forum there is a sticky for where to get Protein samples...you can try a lot without putting out too much cash. I was surprised by some that seemed like I would like them, but when I tried them I was glad I didn't buy a whole tub. I like vanilla & choc splendor Unjury, and choc and vanilla Trutein. I have some RTD Premier from costco, but not my favorites. I like some of the RTD Oh Yeah drinks, but most of them have to be diluted with milk for me, too sweet and too much aftertaste. Mixed with milk they are better. I add half a pack of Starbucks Via in the morning (caffeine is okay on my plan). I also have some sugar free syrups that I add sometimes, but I have to use more milk or it gets way too sweet.

Have to watch some if the premade and drugstore shakes. They are made for weight trainers and not weight losers! They tend to have much higher Carb count. 8 grams or more! That can really hinder weight loss. Most the name brands for weight loss like Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate and Unjury are no Carb and the correct protein. Celebrate ENS-Protein has the Multivitamin and Calcium already in it! I drink one when I have a hectic day and I am halfway there! Just watch your nutritional values....it's so easy ti shoot yourself in the foot!

That's true if you are on an ultra low carb plan. I'm not. I just track it in MFP and make sure I am within my guidelines.

I really love the chocolate Premier Nutrition ready made shake. Next would be EAS Myoplex in chocolate fudge.

[No game 14,436]

The Premier Protein shakes are 4 grams of carbs.

Not bad in book.

Lol...the premier vanilla is beyond nasty. chocolate is much more doable.

After trying about 5 different kinds, the only one I didn't gag on was Premier. In fact it tastes just like choc.milk.

I like the Syntrax Nectar line the best. You can find different online stores that sell sampler packs. It really helps before taking the plunge and buying the big tubs of a flavor. But I tend to go with the vanilla Bean Torte. It tastes great, like vanilla cake batter on its own. I also like stocking up on the vanilla because I think it's more versatile than other flavors. You can blend in flavor extracts, jello/pudding mix powder, cocoa powder, PB2, instant coffee, frozen fruit, etc. Helps keep it interesting, and saves me money on buying all different flavored Protein powders. Sometimes you just gotta keep trying brands till you find a winner!
