I can not stomach the protein shakes or drinks. I found a bar that has the same amount of calories, proteins, etc as the drink. Anyone eating their protein instead of drinking it??

I am friends with alot of girls in a support group that eat quest bars and other protein bars. I still drink protein shakes myself because I like them. Do whichever u like.

As long as you are getting your protein in, go for it! I am drinking GNC Lean 25 shakes and Bariatric Advantage Banana flavored. They also have this yogurt called Dannon Light and Fit Greek Blend Toasted Coconut which contains 12 g of protein.

UGG I cant stand the GNC Lean shakes with 25 grams of protein. The chocolate are just too sweet.

I do like the protein bars by Atkins. They have 20 grams protein.

I like the Premier Protein drinks with 30 grams

Yep, bars are okay. Just make sure the protein/calorie content is about the same as a shake. Some bars are about 180 calories and have only 12 grams of Protein. (Or like those Fiber One "protein" bars that only have 5 grams.) I like some of the Quest protein bars.

I had to try quite a few protein powders and ways to make them before I got it right. For the first 9 months, I only really liked the Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle, strawberry Mousse, and vanilla Bean Torte protein powders. ONLY made in a Blender Bottle, not a blender. It was more like chocolate milk than a shake. Using a blender made the shakes too thick and I had a hard time swallowing all that air. (And if you like iced coffees, Big Train Fit Frappe is a great brand of Protein powder.) I mix 8 ounces of light soy milk, one scoop of Syntrax Nectar chocolate or vanilla, and one scoop of the Fit Frappe Mocha. It's about 40 grams of fiber. I can now drink my shakes from the blender, so I like to toss in a frozen cut up banana or some frozen strawberries. At almost a year out, I have one of these awesome mocha shakes every morning. It's a great way to get in almost HALF of my protein for the day.
