I go back to work on Monday and will most likely find a few RTD to be mor convenient. Any suggestions? Also, any that can be bought at a store (Costco, GNC, Vitamin world, etc). Any info greatly appreciated!

And you rhymed again!

You're a poet

but don't know it!

I haven't gotten a shaker yet and I am still experimenting with different Protein powders but so far, 2 were vile, 1 was good but banana flavored so not one I woud drink daily, 2 were ok but won't order full sizes of them. Been making in the blender with unsweetened almond milk and ice and the consistency is either 50% froth or in the case of chike it's the texture of cake batter and is gooey! So unless I find a really good powder that mixes nice, I will have to go to RTD Protein drinks.

I jus bought the muscle milk RTD and the EAS one too at target today so hopefully one of these is right for me. Thanks again

I like the taste of EAS too. I dont really "enjoy" drinking any protein shakes period (i drank them for way too long even before vsg), but when I really need to have one i usually grab the premier protein RTD from costco. It has the most protein, so I feel like I am getting the most bang for my buck!

I have found that if I stick the shake in the fridge for thirty minutes, the froth/foam goes away and it's a lot easier to drink.

For RTD, I really like Muscle Milk Light Peach Mango but thought their chocolate flavor was horrific. Everyone has such different tastes! I also like the Atkins Advantage shakes but wouldn't drink them too often as they are kinda low on protein in exchange for calories. I have ordered some of the Premier shakes but they won't come in for another few days. I'm looking forward to trying them.

Someone was posting about another company....About Time

They have awesome shakes and are lactose free and gluten free. The have the shake and go bottles. You add your choice of liquid to them shake it up and drink. They actually taste great. But you have to order them I don't know of where you can buy them. They do have sample packs to try.

I'm a huge fan of ProJoe from Bariatric Advantage but as they've been on backorder I've been subbing in the GNC LeanShake. The vanilla is my favorite but the chocolate is also good. They are $8.99 per four-pack, but the last few times I've bought them they have been buy one get one half off.

Is the premier protein lactose free?

Premier protein...absolutely the best. I purchase from SAMs club. Vanilla is great. I sometimes add decaf coffee or fruit. Chocolate is a also good. Iadd coffee to it as well. This is the only protein I've found that does not have an after taste

Thanks dor the tip about placing drink in frig. I hate the foam as well!!!

Ok, I tried the Premier shakes and I cannot stomach them. Oy. The taste and the aftertaste made me want to gag. Still looking for a protein drink I can stomach. Crossing that one off the list.

I do the muscle milk RTD and Isopure RTD. As a matter of fact I had my first alcohol drink with 1oz vodka and 10 oz Isopure as the chaser....my tolerance for alcohol is awful....but I got 20 gms of Protein in while sipping!
