Can anyone suggest a decent tasting Protein shake?

My fiance thought some were too sweet so we bought unflavored Protein powder from GNC (the store recommended a specific kind for pre-op and post-op) and made our own. We added PB2 for additional protein and yummy Peanut Butter flavor

Oh Yeah!

Pure Protein

Atkins Shake

EAS Advantage

and the one you mix I like the Designer Whey Protein...some love IsoPure but I haven't tried that yet

Many people like Premier Protein ready-to-drink individual 11 oz cartons. Available at costco, Sam's Club in vanilla, chocolate, and just starting to be available in strawberry. Other locations too (some grocery stores, pharmacies carry them in smaller 4 packs, etc).

30 gm of protein, 160 cal

Other people say they're too sweet. I like 'em 'cuz they're easy, quick, portable, and satisfy 30gm of protein at once!

By far the peanut butter cookie protein mix is the best tasting one I have come across! No aftertaste!

tried them ALL. i only like the Muscle MIlk 100 mixed with ice cold skim milk OR the Muscle Milk Premium Mint Choc mixed the same way.

zero chalky taste, zero aftertaste. pretty good Protein counts in the 100, awesome in the premium.

I love GNC Total Lean in Vanilla, chocolate, & strawberry.

170 calories, low sugar, 25g Protein.

I bring a case to work so I know I always have a high protein meal or snack.

I want to try those Muscle Milk 100 suggestions above! They sound delicious!

I don't like any of the premade shakes, but I use lots of different brands and flavors of protein powder to make my own shakes. I use Unjury, Chike, Jay Robb, and Syntrax Matrix brands the most. I mix my shakes with Carb Master milk - comes in plain, vanilla, and chocolate, and is higher in protein and lower in calories and carbs than regular skim milk. It is available at Kroger. I also use a lot of different flavors of Sweet Leaf Sweet Drops and Torani sugar free syrups to change up the flavors of my protein shakes.

For hot protein drinks, I use the Healthwise cappuccino and hot chocolate. Those I mix with 50/50 water and carb master milk, and again, use lots of different flavorings to add variety.

Core Power shakes taste like flavored milk, not like a Protein shake. I cannot stress how much better these things taste than ANYTHING else I have ever tried (powder or premade). They are pricey (around $3ea), but it is worth it in my opinion for the short time that we will be dependent on these things. 26g of protein in an 11oz bottle. In order of best to worst, I would rate them Vanilla, banana, chocolate. Be advised these are the full sugar ones, so make sure your doc is ok with it. They also offer a couple light versions if you need to go the reduced sugar route, but I have not tried those flavors. Happy Hunting!

What brand is this? Thanks!

I like this one I found http://dashingdish.com/recipe/cake-batter-protein-shake/

Syntrax matrix Peanut Butter cookie is the bomb, especially with a spoonful of PB2 added and mixed with milk (half milk half Water or almond milk, or use milk for all the liquid).

Chike Iced coffee Protein powder is also a winner in our house, regardless of diet status.

I couldn't handle the Premier Protein shakes because of the lactose. The taste was fine but the resulting bathroom visits were not. For those who are lactose intolerant, try something else.

@@misswatkins1 Does this look good!... like what I can't eat now!

I have a peanut butter obsession so I ordered this. It really is very good. It didn't seem to mix as easily as some others I've tried. Does it mix better with almond milk than water? I thought maybe if I blend it? It is very Yummy though.
