Does anyone know where online or in a store where I can get free/ low cost samples of the different protien supps? I don't want to commit to a $20 container without trying first if possible!

Also, what are your favorites?

I love unjury... the chocolate flavor... they have samples, but they cost something (like 1.25)... look online unjury.com... and see what they have. If you call them they might send out samples free... can't hurt to call :biggrin:

BariatricEating.com sells a sample package that has a bunch of different samples and a shaker bottle. If you get the one without the book (the book's aimed mostly at RNY patients), it costs about $32, I think.

I ordered a bunch of protein powder samples right before my surgery from Vitalady.com - Protein Supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks! It is a great way to sample them and then go buy what you really like. I think I paid about $1.50 or a bit more for each sample, but after all, it was my whole meal, so really that isn't bad at all. I kept the order printout with the samples and wrote next to each one after drinking it whether I hated, liked or loved it.

If you go to GNC and keep your receipt, they will take back the whole jug and refund your money if you don't like it. I specifically asked that when I purchased the Isopure. I wasn't sure about the low carb, low fat powder with 45g Protein, thought it would take bad.

You can also get Designer whey protein to go packs for about $1.25 to try. Those you mix in with a bottle of Water and get about 10g of protein.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Do they make any protien whey powders that dissolve into any liquid and are clear and tasteless? I'm looking for something to add to anything, and, basically, not be able to know it's there-

Unjury has an unflavored protein powder. I wouldn't say that you can't tell it's there, but it is definately not bad. YOu can order a sample of it from their website as well. I have been pleased with unjury powder.

Thanks- I just ordered 2 samples of each of the kinds from the Unjury website. We'll have to see!! thanks for all the help!

We have an HEB Market here (kind of like a very upscale HEB), they have an entire section of protein powders and bars and such, they had LOTS of samples, I paid 100-225 per sample - and I am glad I did, I have found a couple that I couldn't even finish. Yuck! I have been trying the bars, some are awesome and some, what were they thinking!
