They arent cheap. They are about 35 dollars for 12 individual cartons. They are called Labrada 40 grams protein shakes. I am going to get chocolate and vanilla.

Are they gold-plated or something?

Well it breaks down to 2.92 each. Which isnt bad. I am going to order 24 of them.

Thats a big shake.

I really don’t supplement much with shakes at this point as I am almost eight months post op. Those are almost 300 calories a piece! I would rather eat my food than drink it.

I would be curious how they taste though.

Well, I see what you are saying. I am 2 and a half months post op and am having a hard time getting in protein. What do you consume for protein?

I wouldn't want to have to drink 6 more ounces (compared to Premier Protein) to get the other 10 g of protein. It would almost be easier to drink 2 Premier Proteins (22 oz) and then you get 60g of protein. But to each their own. Maybe they taste amazing.

Exactly ...

These have only slightly more protein per once, and higher calories per ounce than Premier Protein or Muscle Milk Pro.

Oh I am going to buy Premier and Pure Protein shakes also. I am trying to get all of my protein goals in. I do not mind drinking my food. I am also going to order Premier protein bars that have 35 grams of protein each. In addition I will be making salads with broccoli, cauliflower, and balsamic dressing.

I dont mind the high calories in the Labrada shakes because I am not anywhere near getting my protein in right now.

I am drinking the LaBrada shakes pre-op and will be drinking them post op along with other avenues of protein,

The chocolate tastes almost like a YooHoo. Salted caramel is ok too. NOT a fan of mocha.

Before you order a bunch...they sell them individually at convenience stores here in TX. Most QT’s and 7/11’s. If they have them in your area, you might want to try the flavors before you buy a lot.

Most important thing - can you tolerate them, or preferably, like them? These things don't do any good if they just sit in your garage unused after you choke on the first one. see if you can buy one to try somewhere first (I never got along with any of the RTD drinks; just learned how to make the powdered ones the way I like them.

the very best is always the one you will use

Salted caramel is the best
