Can someone please suggest a good protien drink!

I'M confused on how much I'm to drink , do I mix it with any other ingredients , and is there something that taste good? I will be starting my pre op diet in a week and I want to get my supplies but not sure which one. I hate the vanilla flavour and chocolate smell awful. Help!

The premier protein shakes at costco are great. Perfect size as well. The Eas brand products are good but the normally hAve alot of sugar.

I love Premier Protein it's like a milk shake and I am not sick of it at all. You can buy it at Costco cost 24 dollars for 18 boxes and pre-made so easy to bring it with you on the go! Best of luck!

I love the chocolate Eas advantage carbs you can get it at BJs the case of 24 is like 26 dollars.

I suggest picking up a couple of different types of Protein. While Whey Proteins are a good source of protein, it has an immediate uptake and won't keep you full. So look into Casein Protein, which is a slow digesting protein and will keep you full longer.

The other one that I swear by is the Pro Complex. It's 60grams of protein in 8oz. I usually start my day off with one of these and am almost at my protein goal. While the protein is on the expensive side, it's made up of Whey, Casien, Egg and Soy - so it will keep you going all morning.

I ordered a sample of Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie and it is AWESOME. Maybe slightly too minty on the aftertaste, but no weird Protein smell or aftertaste. It almost tastes like you had a mint chocolate milkshake that you let melt. I mixed it with high protein fat free milk, so it ends up having 35 grams of protein. I also ordered a sample of their Peanut Butter Cookie that I have high hopes for and will try tomorrow. I don't think either would be a daily thing, but it's a real nice change.

I ordered the samples from http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/ and they came really fast. They will make a sample of anything they carry, I think.

I like the Glucerna Protein drinks that you can get most anywhere. They are designed for diabetics but they have 10 grams of protein in each 8 oz. shake. They taste good to. I like the butter pecan flavor the best.
