Protein Drink Evaluations

[MochaKelly 74]

I buy the lemonade, its,awesome, not too sweet and I add a splash of lemon juuce. I also love the grape! The coconut is good too. It is a little sweet but put some lime juice or like me add my green juice to it. That clear Premier Protein fruit punch made me gag!!!
I buy them online at Walmart.

Well, I am glad you said it! I am loyal to the brand and LOVE the shakes but the clear drink just makes me gag! I am working on this case I bought and no more! I am going to try the brand from Walmart that was suggested.

Had this today. I found it at Big Lots for 1.20. It is not bad. I have to have it SUPER cold though.

Everyone keeps talking about plain Protein Powder. Where can I find this?

You can get GENEPRO on Amazon- unflavored and dissolves easily- I think they sell it at gnc

I bought the Isopure because they had a 1# bag I thought would be good to try. It really has been undetectable so far in anything I mixed it into.

Is gene pro better than Unjury?

I am struggling to drink this case of Premier Protein Clear drinks! They are SO sweet! I have been watering them down by mixing half of a drink with 24 ounces of Water. That's the only way I can get it down. Furthermore, it must be extremely cold. Does anyone have other drink recommendations?

I will follow you on this, I have a case I'm planning to return to Sam's, they're horrible and made me gag. Thank you for reminding me, for what I spent on them, I'm on a hunt to get my money back. I'd love to see the suggestions you're getting.

genpro is snake oil and a crap product. They were successfully sued starting in November of last year and ruled on in June of this year. Their claim of their Protein being "medical grade" and being equivalent to 30 grams of protein were debunked. At best you are getting 10 grams of pre-digested protein enzyme.

Yes it is still being sold, even on this website. It's the same as the 8 minute workout videos that promise fantastic results with little effort. It is a product that preys on the trusting and uninformed. Avoid it.

That drink looks delicious, my only question, is that the Protein we need? I've found in some Protein Drinks, it sadly, isn't the protein that our bodies can absorb. Of course those drinks, are the ones I really like and can tolerate. lol

I researched that after reading about the hoopla on here, this is one I'll stay away from. Thankfully, I tend to stick to a Protein powder and I don't stray. Inspire works for me.

I often see the question, "What's the best Protein (powder/shake/bar)? The answer is always the one that you will use. I don't remember if I tried Inspire or not, but I personally really like Gold Standard. I'll recommend it to anyone, but in the end it comes down to personal preference.

Except for GENEPRO. It's just crap.

Inspire is through Bariatriceating, I like it, but I tend to make shakes only on the weekend. A little will go a long way for me, so the price doesn't bother me as much, as it used to.

I personally like the slim fast high Protein vanilla powder. I'm still pre-op but my nutritionist approved it. I mix it with fairlife non-fat milk, 1/2 banana, and a little cinnamon and its delicious! 33 grams of protein with the fair life and Protein Powder and under 250 calories. If you omit the banana it's 190 calories and 33 grams of protein!

I love this site, Friend! We get suggested products and information, while being able to observe success in the making to help us "cherry pick" and tailor a meal plan suitable for our pouch and it's tolerance level. I am ordering the Jay Robb Protein powder sampler today to see how I tolerate the unflavored one. If it is a win (taste wise-- I am still a Foodie [emoji3]), then I will make an investment in the product. #GastricGameChanger

I don't know of anyone else was told they could do this but my surgeon said that I can mix you hurt as long as it does not have fruit chunks in it with skim milk this was pre and post op.
