RTD or Protein Powder

I have been drinking premier and at the moment I really like it but I wanted to get some others. I got a sample of unjury and with milk it is ok but with water... gross! If you use powder which one and do you use milk or water? Milk adds on a lot of sugar (12g) for skim.

My surgeon doesn't want us to use RTD protein so I use powder. Before surgery I was using Body Fortress chocolate peanut butter but it does have 7 Gm of carbs. I tried the Body Fortress whey isolate but it only comes in vanilla &, after surgery, it is sickly sweet. I've changed to unflavored powder & can mix it with any liquid. I bought some unflavored powder at GNC because I couldn't wait for some to be shipped. I did order a 10-pound bag of Now Foods unflavored whey from Amazon & it should arrive next week.

I use Matrix brand and have used nectar recommend both from my surgeon. I use skim milk. Skim milk gives you 8 grams of Protein. Both brands of powder I use has 23grams of protein? So total of 31 grams of protein. I have a shake for breskfast cuz I am always on the go. I bought the unflavored unjury and it gags me. I tried it so many ways and no luck for me. So I have a entire tub of wasted Protein Powder. I put it in a canister & tossed the original container. Dumb me. :(

Do you use milk or Water? I wonder why your Dr was against RTDs.

I use water. They told us in the class that the Protein starts to breakdown within 30 minutes of mixing so you get better quality protein with the powder.

I am really not impressed with any of the vanilla or chocolate RTDs of any sort. Unjury Chocolate is fine with milk, gross with water. I use a product called AMP Wheybolic from GNC (Chocolate flavored) that is a little pricey but tastes great with either water or skimmed milk That is what I have for Breakfast. i eat normal food but supplement with Syntrax Protein drinks (Fuzzy Navel flavor is my favorite).

My doctors office offers all kinds of protein powders and RTD bottles. I really like the chocolate light Core Power. It's the "cleanest" protein drink I've come across. It's horribly expensive (to me anyway) at $3.00 a bottle. But since I'm still on liquid post op diet I'm allowing a splurge of one a day.
