why can't protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

Everyone I have tasted taste like butt. I don't mind the Special K ones but they have too much sugar. Even the Premier ones are kinda icky.

Have you tried the nectar Sweets? There are a number of good flavors like Cookies and creme, chocolate truffle and vanilla bean. I really have enjoyed these shakes and drank the almost exclusively during the 1st 6 months.

I really like the Unjury Protein. Order on line and they have a sample packet as well.

I have tried just about every one out there. The best tastin IMO are pure Protein. They have 35 grams of protein in each 12 oz can and only 3 or 4 carbs/sugars. I got them on Amazon. I saw some at wal mart that only had 23 grams of protein.

I think its because they're made in a lab / factory.

I try to get the vast majority of my Protein from food. I don't want to be drinking multiple Protein shakes a day for the rest of my life that taste like poo.

Unjury is good but I also like Premier Protien. Pretty yummy and it has 30 grams of protien as well as other stuff :) Not gritty at all!

I like Isopure... I get at "Vitamin Shoppe"...

It's a little pricey but I only use 1 spoon per serving vs the 2 recommended and it's only 100 calories for that 1 scoop and 25 grams of Protein.

Oh and 0 sugar!!! I doll mine up with a splash of vanilla extract & a sprinkle of cinnamon... I use 1/2 cup of Milk & 1/2 of Water and pour it over ice :) With the milk it's probably 150 calories per serving.

You can also get very creative with the sugar free Syrup Torani makes... Iced "protein" mocha's etc ;)

I start every morning off with a Protein shake... that way I'm guaranteed to get my Protein goal in!

Oh another good product that I found is ProteinBlitz at the same store in costs about 2.75 cents it's similar to a Gatorade... Off top of my head I want to say for a 20 ounce bottle you get 30 grams of protein

You can buy them at Vitamin shoppe if you like buying in a store. There are probably many other retail stores you can buy them from. Personally, I like buying my supply off Amazon and then having it show up at my door a couple days later. A lot of folks also swear by the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shake powders. Have not tried those myself. I do not particularly care for the costco powders, but love the GNC amplified wheybolic 60 product. Tastes good and really helps me recover fast after hard workouts by the next day. Hope you find a powder that works great for you.

I am giving away my Unjury starter kit (Minus one packet). The first person to claim it get's it. All I ask is to send me a few bucks for postage (PayPal).

I bought the Ninja blending system and am making my own Protein Shakes.< /p>

Their Double Cookies and Cream is soooooo tasty! Blended with ice and skim milk (or soy) reminds me if a Oreo cookie shake!

I ordered their sample pack from bjsbariatrics.com You pick the 11 flavors you want and it was $13 or so.... Good way to try them out and see if you like em'.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
