So I am starting to research and try out protein powders & drinks so that I know what I like and don't like. And don't waste a ton of money on. Going to start trying them before my surgery which is in December. I would love recommendations. So what I am looking for is pre-made protein drinks, and powder protein where you make the drinks yourself. So I would love to know what your favorite is and of course what not to waste money on. I am sure a similar thread has been done before but here it is again :-) Thanks for your help!!!

Jay Robb dreamsicle in individual packets, Premier Protein ready-made chocolate, Sam's Choice bone broth, Isopure ready-made blue raspberry

My NUT recommended the Premier protein ones from Sams club and I really like them. I am a coffee drink and in school, so I use 2 protein drinks (usually caramel or chocolate) and use them to flavor my morning latte which is about 11 oz. All together it makes a 33 oz latte which I keep in a stainless steel vacuum insulated bottle and sip on from about 6 am-10:30 am. That keeps me full and focused on school and gets me through until my break at 11, I eat lunch at about 12 snack around 2 and I’m good until school is out at 4. I carry a coffee bottle and water bottle around all morning and a second bottle of water around late afternoon & evening. I am not a big breakfast eater so my NUT is happy that I am getting my protein in the form of my coffee. She wants me on decaf by my surgery date (11/21) and for at least 6 weeks after. I will just wean myself to decaf and keep it up.
For powder I have tasteless isopure and I plan to add it to my bone broths and water when I hit the liquid stage, since my mornings are covered. It was cheap on amazon, I haven’t tried it yet (saving for liquid stage) but if it is tasteless it should be fine for me. Curious to hear what others suggest [emoji177]


Have a great day!

My favorite in Unjury which is medical protein powder. They also have sample packets online so you can try it before you buy a lot. My favorite is chocolate and strawberry and the flavorless which you can add to any and everything for added protein.

I could not tolerate dairy based protein after surgery so I used Vega.
