They're pretty gross. Have you tried these? https://www1.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/group/77102/

I'm really glad you didn't like it. It is nutritionally garbage. It is a collagen base and is unusable by the human body.

My cardiologist put me on Pea Protein by SunWarrior. It's the "Warrior Blend" plant based protein. It's not delicious per se, but if I do protein shakes, it's usually not for taste or meal replacement, but energy for workout or just trying to keep my protein levels up. (which usually means i'm not eating quite right. )

Those shots are horrible. It's like drinking syrup and like OTR said- garbage.

omg i got that at walmart it was the most disgusting thing i have ever tried !!!! i barely took a sip never again

No way!!! (hangs head in disappointment) Are they all not usable by the body? I found one that I can tolerate. It's not the best tasting of course, though, but I figured it would help me reach the quota on some days. Please tell me more. Thanks.

I've still got one in the fridge that I bought back in Dec. I couldn't bring myself to try it.

In our post op care book under the Protein section our NUTs state: It is not recommended to use the protein "shots", "shooters" or "bullets" as they do not contain the appropriate protein source.

When it comes to picking an appropriate Protein shake they said to go with something that has "Whey Protein Isolate" or "Soy Protein Isolate" as the first ingredient. This should provide you with the amino acids that your body is going to need to build Proteins.

I'm so glad this topic came up. I didn't know that they are not recommended. Thanks guys/gals!

Thanks for the info. Very helpful.

Hey Dooter....I used that warrior blend in my green shakes for a while. Very healthy stuff but I went back to the chocolate whey powder for better taste. Still, the Warrior blend is high quality protein, and an ideal choice for vegans.

I cannot post beneath you anymore. I can't have you looking down at me with that face.

PDCAAS = 100

From the makers of the first Protein shot, Yes Whey™ is the first and only to use 100% pure whey protein -- and nothing but whey protein.

Yes Whey was designed to help consumers feel at ease about the quality of protein they consume. While other companies boldly use the word 'whey' in their brands, Yes Whey is the first ready-to-drink protein shot made exclusively from whey protein. This guarantees that the protein going into your body has a PDCAAS* of 100, the highest quality rating a protein can receive.

Yes Whey contains 25 grams of whey protein, zero fat, zero carbohydrates, and 100 calories -- all in less than three Fluid ounces.

*PDCAAS: Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score

Amino Acid Profile

(Typical g/100g) Alanine 4.37 Arginine 2.02 Aspartic Acid 9.83 Cysteine 2.61 Glutamic Acid 15.22 Glycine 1.35 Histidine 1.53 Isoleucine 5.38 Leucine 10.23 Lysine 9.03 Methionine 2.12 Phenylalanine 2.78 Proline 4.91 Serine 3.74 Threonine 5.54 Tryptophan 1.62 Tyrosine 2.88 Valine 4.84

I'll warn you in advance - they can be a little tart! I let my coworker sample some and he added Water and thought they were not bad at all.

HAHAHA He gave you the serious face now!!!

My Dr said the Sunkist liquid protein is the best. Grape, orange and fruit flavor. 25 grams of protein in 2.9 oz tubes
