PROTEIN SHAKE ADVICE-HIGH QUALITY, INEXPENSIVE , NOT A PROTEIN BLEND

My surgery is May 17, 2017 and I am trying various protein powders, but many have a lot of chemicals and are protein blend. any advice on finding inexpensive, high quality non-protein blend shakes. I really appreciate it.

Thanks

Unflavored protein powders like from isopure and Unjury are going to be the "purest" form of protein supplements you can find. Anything flavored will obviously have other stuff.....there's no way around the sweeteners and flavor ingredients. Syntrax nectar naturals arent too bad...."whey protein isolate, erythritol, natural flavors, silicone dioxide, soy lecithin, salt, stevia and monk fruit concentrate".

Where do you live? I live in Wisconsin and many of the local cheese factories are now offering the whey product they produce from the cheese making process. I think Mullins Cheese even sells it online. Doesn't get any better than straight from the source......

Isopure Zero carb

Unjury is good. Kinda expensive but I really enjoy Whey from Wal-Mart and Kroger. Cost is good too. I like the banana flavor. I ad 8 oz almond milk, and 8oz water to one scoop. Sometimes I'll put 1/2 frozen banana. REALLY good.

Thanks everyone. I will keep that in mind. So, I will try Unjury and Isopure Carb. I do like flavor, so I will loosen up and maybe have one or two with flavor. Oh, I live in New Jersey.

I use the vanilla GNC pure isolate. Mix it with Water and it taste good to me. It is about $26 per container. Not sure if that is more than others but it is pure whey isolate and i like the flavor. Has 25g protein and about 110 calories per 8 Oz drink

I tried the premier shake in banana and it was good. Great suggestions.

@JJ how many shakes can you get out of the GNC mix? Anything where I do not have to pay for shipping is great. LOL!!
