Protein Shakes

I am looking for suggestions on ready made Protein shakes. I travel a lot for work and would like something that is all ready made. I looked at the premiere Protein Shakes but those are whey protein concentrate and my doctor says I need whey protein isolate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Unjury protein powder comes in individual packets. You could buy a case of small water bottles and shake it and go.

I like EAS Myoplex Original build muscle chocolate fudge-17oz 42g of protein and only 1g sugar. I found a 4 pack for $10.25 at Target.

I drink Premier Protein chocolate ready made drinks. I tried a LOT and this one was my favorite. Ask your nutritionist if they have a sample. I've also read where some insurance company's will pay for certain brands of Protein Drinks as well and premier happens to be one of them.

This was their recommendation after I could not tolerate the powdered whey protein isolate. I have been using these since week 2 post op. Recently there was some discussion on this site about RNY patients malabsorbing this particular type of protein. I went back to my nutritionist and shared this info with her. She actually showed me that protein is absorbed lower in the digestive tract. RNY patients do not malabsorb protein. She had a great chart that showed where different nutrients are absorbed, she keeps this chart with her when questions like this come up.

I tried to find a similiar chart on line but will keep looking.

Premiere tastes awful, the vanilla is tolerable.

Djmohr-- I would love to see that chart if you are able to get it. It sounds like it would be very helpful and informative

If I cannot find one on line, the next time I see my nut I will ask for a copy.

Thank you for your suggestions. Just ordered Premier Protein in chocolate from Amazon...

Surgery is in 14 days... Just started my Protein shake diet today... Cannot wait to have this surgery behind me and start my road towards being healthy, happy & slim:)

Good luck!
