Protien shake recommendations...Please



Recommended Posts

I have a protien shake that I don't really like. I am addicted to the Walmart brand slim fast (they are so awsome and better than slim fast) but they don't have much protien. Does anyone know of a protien powder that doesn't have a taste that I could add to these? Or, any suggestions on "good tasting" protien shakes would be a big help. I have tried to doctor my current shakes up with fruit but they still taste like crap. Thanks in advance.

1 small banana, 1 cup 1% milk, 2 TBS Simpley Jif peanutbutter, 1 scoop vanilla whey Protein. You can use chocolate, also. Taste great to me. About 500 calories. Low fat. Over 20 grms of protein. A serving of fruit.< /p>

It will stick with you for hours. I drink one before swimming. It's the only thing that holds me thru exersize.

I use GeniSoy and GNC's Vegefuel. They have 25 and 30 g of Protein, respectively, are non-fat, low in carboh. and calories, have no taste and are easily disolved when stirred with a fork, so no shaking or blending, and no lumps either. The are made from soy, so make sure you are not allergic if you want to try them! :car:

Hi Mbanhja!

When I was going through my pre-op, the nutritionist told me to get "instant dry milk" and add a serving of dry powder to any drink or pudding or smoothie. It has about 8 grams of Protein and no bad taste to milk and Carnation Instant Breakfast. If you like the Walmart shakes, just add a serving ( 2 1/2 tblsp ) to the drink and whip it up in the blender. I was also turned on to BeneProtein. Same people that make BeneFiber. I have used that too, but I had to order it on line because no one carries it. It has about the same gram weight as the dry milk. Sometimes I make my drink up and put it in the freezer until I'm ready to go to work and it's icy cold when I get here. Hopes this helps. Keep upi the good work!!! I love to read everyones suggestions!

If you like the Slimfast ones, try Atkins Advantage...I love them. They have 15g Protein, 160 cals, 9 fat grams, 5 carbs and one gram of sugar. They have chocolate, and strawberry and vanilla and a double chocolate one too. I get mine a Sam's Club or Walmart (cheaper at Sam's).

I have learned from my doc that the body can use only 20g of Protein at a time so you need 20g 3times a day. I found Unjury chocolate with skim milk and 1t of low sugar Peanut Butter and 1/2 banana in a blender made a delicious shake. I always added 8-10 ice cubes to the heavy duty blender and had a frosty. ...about 380 calories or less.

Unjury also has a chicken Soup protein mix. 100 calories ...no carbs...no sugar. ...tastes great. You can order online.

Hi,

I have a Protein shake that I really enjoy. I mix it with 8 oz skim milk and 3 ice cubes, put it in my magic bullet and voila.... tastes just like a chocolate milkshake with 27 grams of Protein and only 210 calories and less than 5 carbs.

It is called Essential Protein by Iron-Tek (100% pure whey). I use the chocolate.< /p>

I use Ispoure ( 50g) with 12 oz skim milk (12g) for a total of 62 grams. I divide it into 3 4 oz oz servings. I stick with vanilla flavor. The three small servings has just the amount of Protein that you need for the day. My doctor told me 60-75g of protein was needed per day.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
