Hello everyone, What brands and flavors of protein shakes do you use and like? I know we all have different tastes but, it would be interesting to know the brands that are most popular. Where did you purchase them?

vamp...I tried the twisted cherry and oh lord the after taste turned me off. Do you add anything to yours to not have that after taste? ....if you mix it really cold does it help? I had mine cold but' date=' not with crushed ice or anything. Maybe I need to try that. I was thinking of adding some koolaid (without the sugar) to it to see if it would help. Suggestions?

Now the Syntrex Mint cookie...I loved it and the pure Protein chocolate love that one too.

I've been using the Capella flavorings too and it's great to add the coconut and toasted almond to the chocolate shake. Yumm[/quote']

Yep I added koolaid to the cherry! And I also mix all of my protein ahead of time and then let it get really super cold in the freezer!

Cool, I'll pick some up. Did you use Cherry Koolaid for the cherry syntrax? Or did you invent flavors?

I did cherry with cherry and lemonade with the cherry protein!

Gnc just came out with a new one called lean shake. The chocolate is really good.

i just tried a Protein bar from whole foods called "think thin" its really good for a meal. one bar has 20g of protein i nibble at it over like 45 min. different flavors. really good. i only mention this cause since surgery just the thought of Protein shakes makes me nauseas.

How is the sugar content in those Law?

vamp - I don't think I ever answered you on the PB2. It's Peanut Butter powder...basically peanut butter with the fat taken out of it. YOu can mix it into your Protein drinks for added protein and it helps with the after taste of some protein powders.

Oh my goodness!!! Where do you find the PB2?

Think thin are also available at WinCo if you don't have a whole foods near you. I tried chocolate strawberry and lemon cream pie. They're good but need to be eaten slowly for sure, even of you haven't had RNY yet.

Has anybody ever tried the protein shots?

yeah the chunky Peanut Butter is good too. tastes like reeses

According to my surgeon the protein shots are not good for you after surgery. The protein in them is mostly from collagen. She said it will not absorb the same as the other Proteins. The way she put it is if you use those you'll LOOK like you had gastric bypass, meaning you'll look unhealthy. She said that only a small amount of the protein will be absorbed and you'd have to drink a lot more for them to do any good. I thought they seemed like a good idea until she explained it.

Ok I was wondering bc I cannot get my protein shakes down hardly

I hear that a lot. Would it work to mix powder with only 2 oz Water or milk instead of 6-8 oz?

i cant get Protein shakes down thats why i eat the bars instead.
