What is your favorite Protein powders and why what make them special? Also do you prefer medical grade protein?

GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 - it's made for bodybuilders but I consume only 2/3 serving. It's delicious mixing it with just Water, it's even better with milk. I got sleeved 5/28 but I still have this for Breakfast every morning. I'm also a fan of Syntrax Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade flavors.

I like Syntrax nectar in vanilla Bean Torte or Double Stuffed cookie. I'm pre-op right now, so in the morning I mix 2 scoops with a 16 oz. bottle of Water. It would be even better with milk, but I'm content to use just water. Also, one scoop of each is really good also.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to give them a try. When mixing with Water does the shake taste bland? Also the lemonade is it more like crystal light?

I'm with you corvette, I really enjoy the double stuffed Cookies. Have you tried anything that was savory? Like the unflavored in Soup?

GNC Amp Wheybolic Extreme 60 the cookies and cream and chocolate are my favorites, I will have no problem drinking this protein. And it is affordable

Those are my two favorite Syntrax Nectar flavors, too. I also like Caribbean Cooler, if I had to choose only one fruit-flavored Syntrax, that'd be the one I'd go with. Syntrax also makes a medical-grade unflavored Protein which works well as long as you don't use water over 140 degrees; that will curdle the protein and ruin it.

I like that Syntrax powders dissolve instantly (other powders I tried didn't do so well, even with a blender-bottle), and they are delicious in almond milk. I sometimes toss a few ice cubes into my Ninja blender to make a milkshake-consistency shake with them.

I'm hoping that my tastes won't change post-op, but we'll see!

The AMP Wheybolic is just fine with water, not sure I would recommend any other brand chocolate with water. Oh I forgot to mention unjury Chocolate Splendor, it's actually my second favorite chocolate. I'd only use milk with this one (skim or no fat).

The Syntrax Lemonade doesn't taste so much like Crystal Light to me but I like it.

Thanks for the advice, I will try some unflavored. Does the Caribbean cooler mix with milk or water, and what does it taste like? Hawaiian drink, coconut,....

Caribbean Cooler mixes pretty well with water--I haven't tried it with milk but it may work well; it tastes like a piña colada. It's probably my third favorite after Vanilla Bean Torte and Double Stuffed Cookie. There's a website where you can buy 11 sample packets for around $15 to see what you like.

I haven't tried anything savory yet. I'm thinking of ordering the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor and the Syntrax Medical grade unflavored. From what I hear all of the unflavored powders really do have a little bit of taste, but you need to add it to something tasty as opposed to something bland to kill that.

I agree--I have the Syntrax Medical unflavored, and I don't notice a strong flavor if it's mixed into something that's not bland.
