I am simply sick (literally) and bored of Isopure EVERY SINGLE DAY. I was able to tolerate it for a few weeks but after drinking it for 2 weeks straight (1/2 bottle for breakfast and 1/2 bottle for dinner) I can't do it anymore. I have tried the Premier shakes as well. All of the thicker shakes taste about the same to me with the same horrible after taste and they just don't taste good to begin with! I NEED something with flavor (and texture) that makes me THINK I'm doing something bad lol. In other words.... it just needs to taste GOOD without a bad after taste.

I was thinking about making my own with a banana and Peanut Butter but then I have to admit that I was a bit stunned by all the carbs in a banana soooo. I think that is out of the question. I DID find that JIF makes a peanut butter powder that is 85% less fat than reg peanut butter and has 4g of carbs per 3 Tbsp and only 1g of sugar..... which doesn't sound bad at all. If anyone has tried it please let me know your thoughts!

So I'm willing to give the peanut butter powder a shot, but what else would go well with peanut butter? Any other ideas for a good tasting shake?

I get those carnation instant Breakfast high Protein shakes. They have 15g of protein. Then I add 3/4 of a scoop of my premiere Protein powder and some frozen fruit, half a banana or a couple of frozen strawberries.

I am basically surviving the Protein shakes by making this: optimum nutrition vanilla powder scoop, 4 ounces of fair life milk, 4 ounces of Water, and 2 tablespoons of PB2. Put in a Blender Bottle and shake. Not too thick and not too sweet

I experimented with dozens of different Protein supplements. But since individual tastes are do different, You can get single serve packets from Nashua Nutrition and check em out for yourself.

Ones I Really liked were....quest, Syntrax nectar, body fortress, syntha6, muscle milk, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Spirutein

Ones that I hated and would never try a second time were....SAN Raw fusion, Bariatric Advantage, Bariatric Fusion, designer whey, SDC Nutrition, and Isopure.

Ones that were OK But not my favs were Protizyme, Jay Robb, Click, and javapro

And, BTW, I always dilute RTD with milk or Water and use twice as much liquid as instructed to cut the thickness and sweetness. Adding Torani syrups and PB2 to various protein powders gives you nearly unlimited flavor possibilities.....chocolate Peanut Butter, vanilla almond, chocolate banana, strawberry banana, Irish cream, peanut butter cookie, raspberry vanilla, red velvet cake and caramel, chocolate mint, English toffee, hazelnut, vanilla pumpkin pie, gingerbread, Orange dreamsicle, peach mango, cherry lemonade, piña colada, etc......

However, I Do NOT recommend mixing Syntrax Apple and Torani caramel. It does NOT taste like a caramel apple

Try the Rockin' Refuel protien shakes. They are in the dairy section. There are 3 versions. Lean builder and muscle builder are the two I find that fit the doctor prescribed criteria. They taste like milk but have no lactose. 30mg or 20mg of Protein.

Just cut the bananas in half and freeze them. Blend 1/2 a banana and some PB2 with a premier protein rtd or the powdered shake mix of your choice. The frozen banana blended well makes it thick and frothy like a milkshake. I also liked frozen mangoes from trader joes in the bariatric advantage orange cream shake. In addition I always used unsweetened almond milk instead of water to make the shakes "richer". As for a few carbs in a half a banana... You need the potassium. My nut actually told me to add the banana (1/2 that is).

Unflavored genepro in Starbucks mocha light saved my life.

My drs listed the Protein carnation shakes on the DO NOT LIST. (Not sure why maybe it does not have enough protein. I used a banana when Dr approved but used 1/2. The PB powders are good. Try protein powder in plain yogurt. strawberry and Banana powders were my favorite. Got sick of sweet flavors. At some point you just cant take another shake and hopefully you are on to purred by then and then 1 shake a day or yogurt with protein is not so bad.

Mocha light might have to many carbs for most people, i read 18 for a grande. Sugar/Carbs can cause bathroom issues. Maybe you were drinking something I do not know of...

Have you tried any of the Syntrax nectar flavors? I was very pleasantly surprised by those.
