Shakes!?!?

[jennk1975 16]

I HATE artificial sweeteners. Can anyone recommend a palatable Protein shake that has little to no artificial sweeteners? My intake will be 64g Protein

I like Biotrust low carb high Protein shake--it comes in vanilla and milk chocolate and has 1g sugar, 24g Protein for 2 scoops, 150 calories, 8g carbs and 3g fat.

Taste and preference are very subjective, but the only shake I've found palatable, both as a pre op and as a post op, is Premier Protein. These are the ready made ones, although I tried every powder under the sun, the texture just wasn't working for me.

A lot of companies have sample packs available so you might want to start with that. But keep in mind that your taste buds might change after surgery, so don't overstock.

I agree with premier Protein. I'm a super sensitive to weird Protein tastes. I will just puke instantly. Premier is the best imo

Great. My mother drinks the premier just for the heck if it and recommended it. I saw it at Walmart and it seemed reasonably priced. My husband drinks muscles milk which also had a 20g version. Has anyone tried the strawberries and cream? I saw it said improved taste on the box so I was wondering how awful it was beforehand. Lol.

I use a couple different ones. Musclemilk and Elevation (from Aldi. for the vanilla flavor I add an individual flavored drop-in powder. Right now my favorite is pineapple drop-in and vanilla.

I also put Peanut Butter powder (low fat low cal) with my chocolate shakes. Yum!

I'm currently down to one more primary doctor visit and then hopefully a quick approval but until then I'm using the Protein drinks for two meals a day most days.

The Premier Protein is my favorite, they just released a caramel flavor which is a nice change. Bananas and cream is okay. I get mine at costco or sam's club. Buying by the case puts the cost slightly over a dollar per. I drink 2 a day post op so I get about 60g of Protein just from that.

I bought these yesterday at Walmart. Trying the vanilla today. It's not that bad. I can slightly taste the Splendia but it's not overwhelming. Usually I get headaches from sugar substitutes but I had one already so I won't know if they cause one today. Good news is that I could tolerate the taste well enough to finish it today. The first powder I tried didn't pass that test.

Thanks again for the recommendation.

I really like the premier protien strawberries and cream and the chocolate. The banana cream is okay too. I read somewhere on here that there are $3.00 off coupons on line. My NUT gave me a few of the coupons too

Does anyone use Pure Protein? I found it at costco and picked up a couple to sample. They also have a Kirkland brand Protein Bar that I got to try. I'm pre-op so just testing products for taste and texture. All comments welcome!

Premier Protein pre made shakes! I couldn't tolerate ANYTHING so thank god for these. You can buy single bottles from their website so you can try different flavors without buying a 4 pack

I just tried a sample pack from GNC of bpi Sports ISO HD in banana Cream Pie. 25g of Protein in a 5 oz drink. I just stirred it in cold Water, slightly lumpy but it was very tolerable and because it mixed in such a small amount of Water it might be a good one for post surgical with low Protein and limited consumption.

Premier Protein. I hate sweeteners too but these I like. They're cheap in a case from costco.
