I drink Premier Protein RTD and that's it for shakes. I also drink Isopure Zero Carb, which is like a fruity drink with 40g of protein.

I am a big fan of unjury chocolate splendor and Unjury strawberry sorbet.

Muscle milk is pretty good.

Unjury Chocolate Splendor is delicious. Pure Protein ready to drink is good. However I won't use any of these because of sucralose/Splenda in them. I also mixed Isopure with Crystal Light. I have so many sample packs of Unjury. Oh well.

Don't trust your farts for a few weeks. You're welcome. :-)

I don't like any of the RTD (I did okay with Premier Protein at the beginning but now they gag me). My powders of choice: Syntrax Matrix orange cream, banana cream, strawberries & cream, milk chocolate, mint cookie. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard vanilla ice cream & caramel toffee fudge, Unjury chocolate splendor, Chike Iced Coffee & Chike Banana Magic (I generally only use a half serving of Chike because otherwise the carbs are too high).

Immediately after surgery I did a lot of Syntrax Nectar (fuzzy navel, roadside lemonade, lemon tea, twisted cherry) and Unjury chicken soup.

You won't have much capacity following surgery so find a shake/mix with a high level of protein which will give you more bang fir the buck. Isopure no carb mix with 12 ounces of milk gives you 68 grams if protein. That one shake will satisfy your daily requirement.

Muscle milk light (20g) and pro (40g) are both good. I get light at Costcos.

How about a no flavor protein mix, is there one that tastes better than another?

How about using some davinci sugar free syrup to flavor them. I use Cherry flavored in my chocolate Unjury shake and it's so good. Tastes like a chocolate covered Cherry but they have lots of flavors!

I was thinking the no flavor powder protein to add to meals.

I used Unjury plain. They aren't really no flavor so get small quantities to experiment.

I use Unjury also--Strawberry Sobet with Crystal Light Lemonade and Vanilla with Crystal Light Orange. One of each each day with an 8-oz. glass of milk gets me to my protein supplement requirements.
