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.

Thank you for the recommendation. I am on day 2 of the pre-op diet and having the WORST time trying to choke it down. I hate drinking my meals and so far, the ones I have had are icky. I'll go order some of the Chike now!

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!

      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!

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
