i wish :(

I've never tried the powders, just the premade shakes.

I think the New Directions brand Chocolate is the best. They sell it at my surgeon's office. The other flavors arent as good, but I really like the chocolate.

Unjury for me!

the chocolate protein powder from target is pretty good. the brand is market pantry. The vanilla tastes like crap though.

I was asking the same question myself today. I am so sick of the Protein powder I have been using, it was so hard to hide the taste of it. So this morning I stopped by one of our local nutrition stores and they actually will mix up samples to try. I found one I really like that is s'mores flavor and tastes good just mixed with Water.

The products are a little more expensive than what I bought at the grocery store health market, but it's a lot cheaper than buying something, hating it and then throwing it away like I had been doing.

Hopefully you can find a place that does samples because everyone's taste buds are different. Good luck!

Personally, I like the Slim Fast high protein vanilla shake, but I am weird.

I think the best tasting Protein powder is a brand called "Carb Solutions." Years ago it used to be sold at Walmart and places like that, but now the only place that I know of that sells it is Drugstore.com. It is a blend of protein sources consisting of Soy Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Sodium Caseinate, whey Protein Isolate, and Dried Egg White.

I only drink ready-to-drink shakes now, but up until about two years ago I used the powders. I would take this and blend it with some whey powder, which was cheaper. It would give a good flavor to the mix.

You can see the vanilla at:

And the chocolate is at:

I personally like Body Fortress cookies & cream, Body Fortress Choc.& PB and six Star Choc. I compared them to Unjury. They do have SLIGHTLY higher fat & carbs, but lower sugars and higher protein!!!! Plus they are much easier to find (grocery store, Walmart etc) and MUCH cheaper! I am still pre op so the true test will be next week, when I am post op. See how they taste to me then...

the chocolate Protein powder from target is pretty good. the brand is market pantry. The vanilla tastes like crap though.

Wow and I just grouchy the vanilla one smh guess I try it then if I don't like it ill be taking it back

The only pre made one I love is called BFast, but it only has 10gm protein.

I LOVE the Muscletech from Sams Club. It comes in Chocolate or Vanilla. It can be made with skim milk, water, hot, or cold. I have added it to cream of wheat, pudding for extra protein. Also I have added half a pack of crystal light to the vanilla to change it up too. Lots and lots of versatility. The cost is VERY reasonable too.

My surgeon doesn't allow pre-made shakes, only the powders & that has to be 30 grams of Protein in 2 scoops or less. As I've said many times, I used the Body Fortress chocolate Peanut Butter pre-op but they did make a change to it, going from 27 grams protein to 30 grams in a scoop & the flavor changed. Post-op I got to the point where any flavored protein did not sit well at all.

I ended up getting Now Sports unflavored whey isolate & it is working very well for me. I can add it to all kinds of things or make it with Water & add Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms sugar-free syrups.
