Hi Alyce and Desi..

TY for your responses to my post. Alyce, love the spelling of your name! Is it pronounced like mine as in alese=aleve but with an S ?

Desi...Never tried my shakes with ice as my mouth seems sensitive to cold, however, it is a great idea especially if ice cubes are crushed which gives it more texture and thicker. Will take longer to drink !!! Good reminder, I think I will try it.

BTW...are you suggesting a Protein ice as in a separate form? or is it with ice cubes that are broken up to small pieces?

Good luck on your journeys...

Hugs, alese

Optimum Nutrition mixes nice and thin. Not too expensive off the internet. I particularly enjoy the mocha Cappuccino. Not sure if it tastes like "mocha cappuccino" but it is pretty good by Protein drink standards. One serving also mixes nicely in as little as 4 ounces, which is a plus--get it down and get it done with.

Edit: I am referring to the "gold standard whey"

Where do you find the nectar one? I'd like to try one that isn't chocolate or vanilla.....or milky tasting. So far Pocket Protein and New Whey are the only ones I've found. But they are super concentrated Protein Shots and I have to mix them with Water and my crystal light.

Hi Lauren...

It is Syntrax nectar Sweets. Go to www.syntrax.com I did buy mine at the Vitamin Shoppe in Pompano Beach, FL, however, I think it is carried all over. Not only that, you might mention where you live when you write to them and see if they have distributors in your area. The powder is a whey Protein Isolate, that my surgeon nutritionist said is what to buy not the concentrate....at least at the beginning of your wt loss. Also, look that product up on google as well.

You should be able to find the product either by online or in your area. I may have paid approx $50.00 for a 32 oz (2 lb) size. Hopefully there are many flavors you might like. I like chocolate myself.

Hugs, alese

I started ordering samples of Protein Shakes, since my surgery is January 26th. So far I like the chocolate from Unjury. I'm not a huge fan of any of the flavors from nectar.

Actually I was talking about a brand of drink called Protein Ice. Anyone tried it? I read that the watermelon flavor is really good. Thinking about ordering some.

I like the Cellucor Protein powder. Generally get the cinnamon swirl and smores. Mixes very easily with Water and great taste.

I have 8 sample packs of the nectar brand. I didn't like the the 2 I tried, and if anyone wants them I paid $26 for 10. I tried 2 , and leaves 8 I'd sell for $10 bucks and ship for free. Cheers, Carrie.

Thank you Carrie but I only drink one Protein shake a day since I've reached my goal and the amount of Protein drops down after quite a few months on the program.

I am always afraid to try new flavors for fear of what you experienced. I am certain of chocolate and even then I've tasted some poor tasting choc. flavors.

Go to this website/blog http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/ This gal loves to cook and updates all kinds of recipes to be eaten on this program. She goes by the name of Eggface. I bet she would have some good ideas on how to utilize your different flavored samples of protein...

Good luck, alese

Thank you, @@alese-inFL ! Yea, since this just the beginning of sleeve ride I've got a lot to learn. I will definitely check out that website. I'm glad I found Unjury, and the chocolate is what I'm sticking with :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
