Protein shake recommendations



Recommended Posts

I believe they all have some type of artificial sweeteners. You might have to make your own with unflavored Protein.

Or, if you know exactly which sweetener gives you headaches, you could avoid that particular one.

Good luck.

Thank you! I find that I can tolerate Monk Fruit, stevia leaf and erythritol (not sure if we can use this) but not acesulfame-k and aspartame.Sucralose is questionable for my body as well. Unfortunately thats the majority of Protein Shakes.

Making my own shakes may have to be my alternative.

My wife also gets Migraines from artificial sweeteners. It is always aspartame and Sucralose but she doesn't like the taste any of them.

I don't prefer them either but they don't effect me physically.

Good luck, I wish I had motivation to make my own shakes. haha

Agree with @kcuster83, just about all flavored powders, shakes, and drinks have artificial sweeteners in them. I'd recommend using an unflavored powder and adding it to things and/or making your own shakes. I'm not aware of a plant based flavorless powder, though I'm sure they exist. I used Isopure.

This brand in my hands down favorite. I can 't stomach a lot of them, but this one is good. I use a lot of their prodicts.

I have heard a lot about Isopure and will look into this. Thanks!

I can sympathize with your wife. The migraines just aren't worth it to me. I'm not quite sure if I will have the motivation to make them everyday myself. Haha I will look for other alternatives. Thanks and stay well!

I don't like Premier Protein shakes and they give me headaches. The artificial sweetners in a lot of low sugar Protein Shakes give me headaches.

Any recommendations for Protein shakes? Plant based prefered. Thanks!

I know it is quite a bit later for this answer but I just spoke with my dietician about this same thing. She suggested Orgain and Naked whey for Protein sources that do not have sucralose (I figured out I am sensitive to it). Orgain uses erythritol and stevia. Naked whey has actual cane sugar, so might want to double check if it fits your program.

I have lactose intolerance so I use OWYN plant based shakes. I found them the cheapest at BJs. Others on here pointed me toward Fairlife milk which is ultra processed, so higher in Protein. They might make shakes, but I’m happy with the milk. Sounds like you’ve a lot of tasting to do!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
