Has anyone tried the pure protein shakes that have 35 grams of protein. Post op the nectar ones are not agreeing with me now.

I have. I have the frosty chocolate. I don't like them. A lot of people on here like them so it depend on your taste. They aren't nasty they just don't have enough chocolate for me.

If you like the shake but want more flavor you can boost the chocolate, vanilla ect. with sugar free syrup. I found them at Deals and Wal-Mart in the coffee aisle. Really helps!

I will have to get some because I have a case of shakes and they aren't cheap.

No They aren't cheap. It was 33.99 for a 12 pack at vitamin world. Wish I could find them cheaper somewhere. I like the cookies and cream. I bought a single chocolate but haven't tried it yet.

Try amazon.com. I don't think I paid that much.

I've been drinking Pure Protein almost exclusively for months. Taste is very subjective but for my money Pure Protein and Myoplex are the best on the market. I prefer Pure Protein because they have 35g of protein and 160 calories. Myoplex are just a hair better as far as taste goes but they have 300 calories so I opted for the lower cals. When you have the opportunity, try their chocolate Deluxe bars. 200 calories and 20g of protein and they are excellent. I have tried some of the other flavors and they're not bad but the chocolate - OMG. The bars also come in larger sizes including 32g and one that has a whopping 78g of protein. Target has the best prices that I have found anywhere on the bars.

DL do you mix anything in the frosty chocolate? I have some but it's not the desired chocolate I was looking for.

When shakes dont have enough chocolate flavor I add a little sugar free Hershey syrup that will kick it up. 2 tablespoons are like 15 calories. You dont need much.

When I resume shakes after surgery, can I add the sugar free choc syrup, right away???

Hi bernie! I drink the shakes straight - alternating between frosty chocolate, Cookies and cream, and chocolate mint. But I've been experimenting with the powder (cuts the cost about 50%). Still a work in progress. I've tried mixing the powder with skim milk (not bad), almond milk (better), half milk/half Water (so-so), and I've tried it with Capella double dark chocolate drops (little better but still not great). The taste of the powder is very close to the shakes so keep in mind that I didn't hate any of these - just trying to find the perfect recipe, LOL. I love jldeville's idea of the surgar free Hershey's - gotta try that next!

If I'm not mistaken, chocolate usually has some caffeine. I'd check the label and if it has caffeine, probably would be a good idea to hold off on using the syrup for a while. Always best to check with your doctor when there's any doubt.

I checked the Hershey's bottle for caffeine but didn't find any listed. It had all kinds of other stuff I couldn't pronounce. Lol. I do want to try the Capella drops. I think I may order some this week. The Peanut Butter and the cheesecake ones sound interesting.

Thank you! Hershey's is definitely on my shopping list!!

I have my 1 week per op nutrition class and surgeon mtg tomorrow, I will ask
