Protein powder recommendations?

Hello,

Of all the Protein powders on the photo I posted, can you guys recommend what you think is the tastiest, or even if you think one is terrible, let me know! Im trying to avoid the trial and error!

This is a list that my NUT gave me to get started on.

@@boosh10 I am still a couple of months away from my surgery and I purchased a ton of samples of different brands and forms of Protein. I still have quite a few samples to try, but my favorite powdered protein so far without a doubt is Muscle Milk Cookies & Cream. I've already tried the chocolate and Bananas & Cream of the ready-made liquid Protein shakes by "Oh Yeah", I liked the Chocolate, but the banana was just "ok". I tried all the flavors of "UnJury", and I love all of them. I also purchased about 12 different flavors of "Davinci and Torani" sugar-free syrups to mix with plain greek yogurt and unflavored protein powders.

I'll keep posting my opinions on the other ones as I try them.

@GreenEyes604 thanks, Im also a couple of months away as well. Dr. said probably the end of December.

I was actually just on the unjury site looking into the single packets to try.

im definitely gonna try the muscle milk Cookies and cream. and the ones by Oh Yeah. Those are also on my list of Premixed Protein supplements.

Thanks for your input :)

Unjury unflavored is 90cals and 21 gramsvof protein per scoop.

I am still preop but I drink Syntrax

Nectar Sweets Chocolate Truffle. You can get little packets to try for like $2 at Vitamin Shoppe. I can mix it with water or skim milk.

Unjury unflavored is 90cals and 21 gramsvof protein per scoop.

correction * 90 grams of*

I use the Unjury every day for breakfast, and to supplement my protein when needed. I also used it pre-op and loved it then too. I mix it up with sugar-free Torani flavorings, and sometimes make it up with espresso and freeze it, so when I put it in my bullet I get a frappucino - SO good! Anyway, I tried a bunch of others and didn't like them as well, and none were as low calorie and high protein as Unjury. I tried several flavors of Isopure pre made and hated them all, but that's just me. I know a lot of people who loved them. Good luck!

Thanks, I just ordered the starter pack from unjury. This way I can sample them all.

This week I tried the sample packs of the Syntrax nectar Naturals. I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked them. I mixed them with milk for breakfast in the morning, and they were quite amazing. I also bought 10 sample packs of the Syntrax Nectar Regulars and I'll start trying them tomorrow. I'm going to get brave and try mixing a few of them with Water and see how they taste. I haven't made any with water yet because I found mixing them with milk and then pouring it over ice in my to go cup is just awesome.

Will report back soon.

I really like the Atkins Mocha Latte! Very yummy!

I can't stand any of the powders anymore. My nut suggested isopure black tea and I have to say I love it! 40 grams in a bottle and I split it up during the day. So I mix half isopure with more iced tea and get my liquids and protein all in one.

OMG!!! I just had to rush here this morning to report on my Protein shake for this morning. After a recent NUT visit I ordered 15 different flavors of Davinci and Torani sugar-free Flavored Syrups. My NUT told me that are a great way to sweeten up just about anything. Well this morning I gave it a try for the first time.

I used a single serving of Syntrax Nature Naturals Strawberries & Cream Protein powder, 8 oz. of milk, and 2 TBSP of the chocolate flavored syrup, blended them all together and poured it over a large glass of ice.

HOLY COW!!! It was amazing!!! It was like drinking a fantastic chocolate covered strawberry. At this rate I may start my liquid only diet 2 MONTHS early! :lol: I can't wait to try another concoction. I have 15 different flavors of syrup to mix and match with milk, plain greek yogurt, and all the different flavors of protein powders that I have.

So excited!!! :D

I may even start a recipe book with all the different combinations that I come up with.
