Can anyone recommend a protein water? Looking on Amazon, I feel 90 calories is a little stiff for water (premier protein). Gatorade Zero has a 50 calorie option but I'm not a huge Gatorade fan. Looked at Nectar in the Bariatric Pal Store but it's pricey and I'm not sure about the taste. Would love to know if anyone has a favorite.

I got a recommendation on here for Ideal fit. Its a powder you mix and they are really good. I tried a few different ones and love them all so far.

I got the Premier brand grape flavored one at Target or Walmart. It has a slightly dry aftertaste but when I poured it over a cup of ice it diluted it enough that it was fine.

I also started using a scoop of collagen powder mixed with regular water and a mio water flavor to increase protein.

I like Syntrax Nectar, and they have a lot of flavors. I would recommend buying sample packs of the flavors that appeal to you to see what you like. IdealFit also has some good ones (and you can buy samples of those, too). I bought a case of Protein2O and HATED it. It left a weird residue in my mouth (little bits with the texture of cooked egg whites). It's possible I just got a bad batch or something, though.

No, I had the same feeling with Protein2O. It had a weird aftertaste and seemed to get chunky after opening the bottle.

My favorite was Isopure protein water (grape flavor), with 60 calories per bottle (although I must say that 90 calories is by no means excessive). I preferred Isopure because it was very light, where as some protein "waters" have an unpleasantly thick consistency.

I really like the Syntrax Nectar fruit flavors. My favorites are the Iced Tea, Roadside Lemonade, and Crystal Sky. Best served very cold. Sometimes I add a little crystal light to amp up the flavor a little.

Gatorade now has Gatorade zero with 10g of protein! I found it on Amazon.
