Who hated protein powder but found a good on?

While in my weight loss journey I tried almost every protein powder out there. They were nothing but disgusting. The thickness, the after taste, and just plain nastiness doesnt sit we'll with me.

Please tell me someone out there had the same reaction but found something good?

Matrix strawbery cream. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury strawberry sirbet with crystal light lemonade. I always make my shakes with ice in my magic bulet.

I am one week past my surgery date, and I have one week left of clear liquids. I didn't mind the Isopure premixed clear drinks before the surgery, but now I can't stand the taste. I have also tried Jay Robb flavorless protein powder. I liked it before surgery, but like the Isopure, I now find it not tasting very well. I have yet to try egg protein powder. I have been drinking beef broth, vegetable broth and chicken broth. I can't wait until week three when I can have full liquids. I really like the EAS milk chocolate premixed shakes and the Isopure dutch chocolate powder mix. I still have one week to go.

Sounds good...I'll pick some up this week. Thanks for sharing.

I got mine at Walgreens for $18.99

Muscle milk is great and the injury brand is awesome plus they have unflavored too

I got sick of all the vanilla/chock/strawberry milk/whey based powders & shakes; finally tried Syntrax Nectar, sold at The Vitamin Shop, there are 12 flavors, my favs are lemon tea & strawberry.

I personally prefer Bariatric Advantage Orange Cream. Great taste, no after taste. I use skim milk instead of water.

i hated the bariatric advantage that my doctor recommended. i found premier protein ready to drink shakes to be fantastic. especially now after surgery they're so easy. i also use pure protein chocolate which is great. it doesn't have that overly sweet/fake protein taste i felt the bariatric advantage had. and recently i found body fortress chocolate peanut butter which is AMAZING. i actually was craving some crunch today so i made a shake with water and froze it for about two hours. it was almost like a slushy consistency and it was amazing. i also love the isopure, it's refreshing when the protein shakes feel too thick going down. good luck!

Everything I liked before urgery, including the chewable vitamins, I couldn't stand after surgery. Thank goodness for the unflavored Unjury. I could mix it into what I could tolerate...and yogurt.... Saved me during the first 2 weeks

I really like the Isopure powder (not the pre-made fruity flavored ones in the glass bottles) - I use one scoop of the carb free creamy vanilla and blend it with ice, decaf coffee and a bit of sugar-free pudding mix or Torani syrup.

So it's safe to say I need to wait until after surgery to give these a try?

Vitamin world whey protein isolate. Precision engineered. Strawberry is awesome!! I never like strawberry anything! 30g protein one scoop. Chocolate and vanilla are good too.

What is nectar??

I took three or four back to GNC and my husband ended up using one or two others. All of them grossed me out!!! I gave up and got the Protein bullets from GNC. I'd gotten a sample in my goodie bag when I was discharged from Forest Park.....let me assure you, it wasn't good either, but it was 3.5 ounces!!! Easy compared to a shake that seemed to keep "growing" as I had to keep adding ice to make it drinkable and the three days after discharge that I did finish one.....it literally took HOURS!!!!! The little bullet, I'd hold my nose and take a few sips in the morning, again at noon and finish it up in the evening. 43 grams of protein, all I had to do was rinse my mouth out after my sips. Just like taking medicine when I was a kid. LOL I never lost my hair (I also took Biotin) and my labs were always good.

Good luck!!!!! Protein is important, I was determined to find something I could get down!

These are all great to know! Good post!!!
