HELP! I need new ieads for good shakes. Every time I drink one, I feel like I'm going to vomit. It doesn't taste bad, I'm just over the flavor, texture, and after taste. I'm currently using Fairlife chocolate, Premier Protein clear, and Isopure fruit punch. I just can't anymore.

Have you tried the savory shake flavors? Unjury brand has a chicken soup and a southwest flavor. I personally did not like the chicken soup and didn't try the others but I see a lot of other people talking about liking them so it might be worth giving it a try. I know with Unjury you can go to their website and by single serving samples before jumping into a full bucket.

Also, a little "hack" I found to break it up was to get creative. Mix flavor packets with shakes to change the flavor, for example a vanilla shake mixed with a little orange flavor could be like an orange creamsicle?

Another option is to add more liquid to it to thin them out. For example one of my all time favorites is to take about 10-12 OZ of sugar free lemonade and mix it with strawberry protein powder and it is a delicious strawberry lemonade and thinner like a regular fruit drink because of the extra fluids. It is like having a drink rather than a thick shake.

I still drink a shake every day for breakfast, I even did a lot of times before surgery. I am just not a morning eater so the shakes are easier for me.

I am currently on a coffee shake kick, I take a caramel shake mixed with 6oz of black coffee and pour over ice. Also, thins it out because of the coffee so it is like having a coffee drink instead of a thick shake. I have tried adding the sugar free creamers but they didn't do enough for me to bother with it or to add the extra calories.

Good luck! It gets easier, and you will find ways to change it up and make it less monotonous!

Unjury brand french onion soup is really good! Theres sample sizes you can get too. I got a variety of samples from them to figure out what I liked. The beef soup one isnt bad but the french onion literally just tastes like the real thing.

Cosign that... big time. I can't wait to drink less and less of these drinks

I love the Alani FitShakes (140 calories, 16g protein). They drink more like milk than a shake, and I hate the ones that are too thick. They're about the only ones I can stomach, and my husband HATES that kind of thing and even he likes them. They have a fruity cereal flavor that tastes like Froot Loops that is amazing!

Thanks for the info. We are pouring through their website now to see what I like ?

I buy New World unflavored protein Powder on Walmart.com and mix up my shakes in a Vitamix. Alot of the premade drinks are just not palatable to me and expensive. This way I can use any flavors I want and can be added to food if you want to omit the shakes. My nutritionist approved and 26G protein per serving.

I'm finding I can't stomach milk now so glad I bought the whey isolate version. I add water, ice cubes, frozen yogurt cup. frozen fruit and stevia or crystal lite type flavors. I made an orange creamsicle recently. Yummm and my fav is strawberry. If I add a lot of frozen it tastes like a milkshake. Sometimes I slice banana into it and eat with a spoon

Big thank you to everyone. I just ordered some samples from Unjury. And will research some of the other suggestions.

I was the same way. A friend of mine who is nurse helped me but my issue was the sweetness, she added some FF greek yogurt, unflavored, the protein shake a a little coconut milk. It made a huge difference in my being able to tolerate the shakes without getting nauseous.
