I'm allergic to chocolate, which sucks, but it also makes finding a palatable shake even harder. I have so much trouble drinking shakes because they all taste the way the inside of a vitamin shop smells. I just can't get them down. I can drink jamba juice all day, but that's inconvenient, full of sugar, and expensive. Help!!!

Allergic to chocolate? A fate worse than death!

My shake of choice is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury - the vanilla and strawberry are good.

I have a bunch of sugar free Torani syrups I play with as well to change up the flavor. Also, just adding a little bit of fruit - 1/3 of a banana, 3-4 frozen strawberries or 1/4 cup of blueberries will change up the texture (once you're approved for it).

I like the premier Protein strawberries & cream

The Atkins Advantage French Vanilla shakes are pretty good! They don't have as much Protein in them as other brands, but once you're in post-op that doesn't matter as much because you can get protein from other sources. Premier Protein Shakes are also sold in vanilla and have 30g of protein and they are palatable, but do leave a slight aftertaste.

Syntrax nectar Lemon Tea with a packet of Crystal light peach mango green tea.

• Syntrax Matrix Peanut Butter Cookie is great. I aad an extra spoonful of PB2 powder to make it more peanuty.

unjury chicken broth flavor - great alternative to sweet Protein shakes.Isopure Protein drinks, sort of a gatorade-ish type of liquid. Most people like one flavor over another (so experiment) and some people add 1/2 Water to cut the intensity of the flavor. You can also freeze them into ice pops. They are expensive, but you can buy one bottle at GNC to try it out. Amazing Meal hemp and pea Protein Powder (Whole Foods), they have a number of flavors. Very different than your whey Proteins, has a nutty grainy texture. I like the seasonal flavors (they had pumpkin last fall).Last, any of the vanilla flavors are a good choice, as someone mentioned. Besides Torani syrup (my cabinet looks like a barista's - a dozen different flavors LOL), but also plain old extracts work great (almond, lemon, orange, etc.). I also sometimes add cinnamon and nutmeg to vanilla - tastes like Horchata.

The syntrax nectars seem low in protein, no?

I haven't seen this one on the forum but my NUT approved Big Train Fit Frappe if you like a frappuccinno type drink. I can mix the vanilla with ice and water for a 20 oz frappe with 21 G protein, 130 calories and 1 g sugar. I add Torani sugar free salted caramel for a change. I also like the Premier strawberries and cream from Costco. They're not delicious but they're decent and have 30 G protein.

The label is a little misleading on the Syntrax Nectars. 1 full scoop is 23 grams but the serving size is listed as 1/4 scoop.

Click and Chike both have a variety of coffee flavors, Click has a decaf too. Lean Shake 25 from GNC has some good flavors, I just got Banana Cream and Cinnamon Bun. I also have the sugar free syrups and PB 2 just need to find a vanilla you like.

Vanilla protein shake (pick your fave) mixed 50/50 with Oregon Sugar Free Chai Tea base (or you could brew from chai tea bags). Yummiest Iced Chai Tea Latte ever!

Syntrax has tons of flavors and is low carb, but yes, use a whole scoop.

Premier Protein are premade, sold at costco. chocolate & strawberry are delicious!

You are all amazing! Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Chike High Protein Iced Coffee. I love it - it has the equivalent of 2 espresso shots. :-)

Muscle milk has a strawberry creme and banana creme. And I'm a big fan of adding PB2 to any vanilla shake.
