Best Tasting Protein Ever No After Taste



Recommended Posts

Chike is absolutely amazing!! I ordered the sample sample variety pack and every single one I've tried this far is just absolutely amazing. It mixed super easy with plain Water shaken. I'm not an easy pleaser but I tell you Chike blew me away with it great taste. It called for 7 ounces of water but I added more water just to thin it out some as I enjoy my shakes thinner.

Was discussing it with my Bariatrician today as I was concerned the carb count was higher than my usual Premier Protein. He pulled it right up on line viewed the nutritional values as well as the ingredient list and gave Chike thumbs up.

I love Chike! My favorite flavors of theirs are the Iced coffee and the banana Magic. I do only use 1 scoop at a time, otherwise for me the calories and carbs are too high. And I add something else to boost up the flavor, to make up for using only one scoop. So I do something like this:

1 scoop Chike Iced coffee + 1 teaspoon instant espresso granules + 1 cup Carbmaster milk - 125 calories, 21 grams Protein, 8 carbs

1 scoop Chike banana Magic + 1 shot Torani sugarfree salted caramel Syrup + 1 cup Carbmaster milk - 145 calories, 25 grams Protein, 9 carbs

I like Chike, too. I usually mix it with half milk and half Water. Sometimes I'll add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to make Mocha flavor.

Buffle, those recipes look pretty tasty....

Hey girl the banana is my all time favorite and I'm not usually a banana fanatic. The orange cream Tastes like a push up if anyone remember what those r. All of the flavors were great I ordered the banana and strawberry tubs and I swear every morning I look forward to my Chike shake. I can't believe u just mix with Water omg I'm on love hahahaha.

I ordered samples of the chocolate and the strawberry. Didn't like the strawberry, there was very much an aftertaste. Chocolate wasn't bad. :)

I didn't get a chocolate with mines that I recall. I received Banana,strawberry, orange cream, and vanilla. I wonder if I should have received a chocolate one?? I shake mines in plain Water and love it. I find that I enjoy the flavor far greater over blending it which to me altered the taste some. By chance did u blend it or shake it? Sorry it wasn't tasty for u.

Thanks for the information; I just ordered the sample pack. I have surgery August 4 and being the anal retentive perfectionist control freak that I am (), I'm trying to find out what I like well beforehand.

@PatriciaTateJohnson, you may already know this, but don't count on liking the same Protein Shakes after surgery as you like before it. Order lots of samples but keep samples on hand until after surgery . . . don't order a tub of anything until you have tried it after surgery and liked it.

I didn't order a sample pack from their website, but rather ordered individual samples from Nashuanutrition.com. I mixed it with Water and shake it in my shaker bottle. It's all good! I've always been very sensitive to artificial sweeteners so it is really going to take a miracle to find a Protein that doesn't have that taste to me lol. :)

I stumbled upon that site on accident. I liked the fact I could try different things without purchasing the entire pack if I didn't want to. I plan to order samples of nectar off there.

@Bufflehead~~thanks! I'll keep that in mind. Do you have any thoughts on why taste preferences can change after surgery?

Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered the sample pack and look forward to trying them. I usually like my Protein shakes to be sugar free, but I think can handle a mere 2 grams. My pre-op diet is sugar free, so I will save them for post surgery. Thanks again!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
