Protein Drinks And Shakes, What Ones Are Good?

I was looking online today for protein drinks and shakes that I will need after surgery. Was wanting some input from everyone on what they have liked best? I found these drinks called isopure and they look pretty good but haven't heard if they are good or not. Please anyone and everyone what have you liked>?

I use carnation instant breakfast ( no sugar added) and ESA whey powder with skim milk (chocolate ) there is one called unjury.com they have some really good stuff.Isopure is not bad

Everyone's taste is different

Good luck finding one you like there is so many to chose from

Try "Oh Yeah" ready to drink! 32g protein and 4-6 carbs. I've tried so many but these are my favorites! They have a website but Vitamin Shoppe has singles in their stores. VS website has them cheaper than the oh yeah website! Good luck!

I started with Isopure Low Carb protein shake whick was good. I switched to another brand (soory forgot the name) but it was cheaper than the Isopure. The Isopure tasted better (dutch chocolate). Stay away form the protein shots the are totally discusting !!!!!

I LOVE the frosty chocolate by "Pure Protein" 35 grsms of protein per 11 ounce can. I got mine at http://www.amazon.com

I haven't tried them yet but I will after I have surgery. My program just decided to add isopure to the after surgery diet. Are they super expensive?

Syntrax Nectar has some amazing flavors

You'll get a lot of opinions on shakes here for sure. The best bet is to keep trying them yourself until you find a few that you really like. Tastebuds seem to change quite a bit after surgery and what you like now you may not after. Lots of online stores sell samples so you don't have to buy a big tub not knowing if you'd like it. I've traded samples of my Protein powders with other folks who had the surgery or were having it so we could all try different ones.

My current favorites are Pure Protein chocolate powder and Syntrax Mint Chocolate cookie (tastes like melted mint chocolate chip ice cream) I also add flavorings to my chocolate shake to change it up a bit. You can mix in a spoonful of SF pudding mix of any flavor, use natural Peanut Butter, SF torani syrups, cappella drops, SF extracts etc. I love the capella drops :) You can get them online as well.

HOpe you find some you like.

I saw a recipe where they actually did the vanilla cream whey protein and skim milk and decaf coffee

I've been using Atkins' Advantage, and it's so good. It's available in different flavors too

My program requires One bottle of Isopure Zero carb Protein Drink everyday post surgery. I think most of them taste really horrible BUT, I do like the green apple and one other one. So, I'm just gonna suck it up and drink one a day until I can start eating regular protien.

I hate isopure I don't know if I can drink it with it puking to be honest I like the grape and blue raspberry the best I've only tryed apple melon and orange other than those ones cannot even swallow a sip of orange Going to take them back if I can also I may try to mix the grape and blue raspberry with Popsicles or jello

Yeah, I hate them too but, I just want to do everything they're telling me to do.

Hey Molly, Isopure is expensive (about $3-$4 per bottle), but the good thing is you can buy one bottle at a time to see what you like without being stuck with a case of something.

Isopure is ok but i got tired of them I would freeze then also you only can drink so much one bottle took a day or day1/2 to drink what I did my sergury was in jan so at christmas I asked for that kinds of gifts so I had it stocked up
