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 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'.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks
