Fruit Juice Protein Drinks?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any fruit juice Protein drinks? I DO NOT like chocolate, strawberry is ok, and vanilla is too. However, I do not like the milky consistency, I would prefer fruit juices. Any suggestions? Thank you

I like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates and Syntrax nectar.

The ProtiDiet concentrates come in several different flavors (peach mango, berry, raspberry, green tea cranberry, orange, and kiwi melon are the ones I've tried).

You can get a sample pack of the Syntrax Nectars from the manufacturer to try the different flavors. I like the fuzzy navel.

Try Syntrax Nectar. They have a number of fruit flavored Protein mixes. The least expensive I've found online is from NashuaNutrition.com. I just ordered caribbean cooler (pina colada), fuzzy navel and dragon fruit fusion. If you google Syntrax, you should get a number of places that sell it. Look for one that sells sampler packs.

If you live in or near a major city, call around. You will find a health food store selling them.

My fav Syntrax right now is the Cappuccino.

I had the same issue and tried Syntrax and it is AWESOME. No funky smells, no chalky after taste. I have tried the fuzzy navel which tastes like orange juice. I have also tried the lemonade that tasted like lemonade. Both delish. 1 suggestion would be to just stir the Water and powder it will dissolve; if you use a blender or nutribullet it can make it very frothy. When I mix my drinks I do 1 scoop and 8ozs of water. Hope that helps!

For a while, cause I too got kind burned out on the chocolate and vanilla Protein power mixes, I went with Isopure unflavored Protein Powder and mixed that in with either orange juice or sugar free/low sugar apple juice. It kinda thickened up the juice a bit but it was good enough to drink and not feel like I was drinking a shake. I needed that the first two months post surgery cause the regular flavored protein mixes were too sweet tasting to me.

There are quite a few Protein Shots out there to try. I have tried New Whey, and Proteinex. You can mix it with Water or juice if you can't drink it straight. I got the New whey from Walmart. They sell it by the half case in the stores. The flavor is very bold, so I mix half the bottle with diet cranberry juice. It also lasts longer that way. I did a google search for Protein shots, and there are quite a few to choose from, so you might find others you prefer. Good luck on your journey!

My doc just told me (after I used them and thought I was doing good) that the New Whey shots are in accurate. After the amino acid balances and blah blah... it really only come out to about 9g of Protein instead of the advertised 42

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
