Pre-Op Shakes...Help!

I'm currently day 4 into my pre-op and have tried multiple protein powders but can not seem to like any of them! I'm such a picky eater, so this is a very difficult task for me. What powders do you recommend? What tastes great?

Try a ready to drink shake, better tasting in my opinion. Premier Protein is my favorite and the favorite of many here.

Thanks! I'll have to give that a try.

Are you allowed fruit or nut butters in your shake? If so peanut butter banana with vanilla whey and vanilla almond milk is my go-to.

They just said to keep my sugar intake very low and have at least 30g protein. I've been trying so many different variations of mixes and I can't seem to find the one I want to spend months drinking. ????

Try different things to mix in...PB2 or sf Torani syrups...they really help...I do vanilla protein with unsweetened almond milk and a few drops of Folgers iced coffee drops...blend with ice and I have a frappuccino like I used to get from starbucks!

I have been using Chike protein powders and I have liked them a lot, especially with fruit mixed in. Maybe you can give those a try.

I'm on day 2 of my preop diet and haven't found a powder I like either. (I began taste testing a couple months ago) However, the RTD Premier Protein shakes and Muscle Milk shakes are so yummy I am fine with those. Yes, more expensive... but at least palatable. :)

DH and I have been drinking Premiere Protein pre-made drinks form costco. So far chocolate is the best tasting in our opinion. Vanilla isn't too bad, but a bit sweet for my taste. In order to combat the sweetness/chalkiness I poured it over crushed ice and it was much more enjoyable. I actually drank it much quicker than when out of a cup or the disposable container. DH has added PB2 to his drinks to help add variety to the flavors.

Where do you get sf torani syrups ?

Ok thank you ill try to find them
