Please help me find a shake that tastes good.



Recommended Posts

I would like to know what brands of liquid shakes people are using that they like. I had an Atkins today and I thought I would throw it up. It was terrible. There is no way I could drink 5 of them a day for 2 weeks. Thank you for any suggestions.

My surgeon only uses the medifast shakes that you get online. I ordered the ready to drink (RTD) chocolate ones and love them... still order them.

I have tried a ton of them and always fall back to the SlimFast shakes. BUT, I put the entire can in the blender (Magic Bullet), add 3-4 cubes of ice and either a tad of the Hazelnut sugar free Syrup or All Natural Peanut Butter. Makes them have a totally different consistency and spices up the flavor.

I tried a bunch too. I am a costco nut so I got their EAS Bag, vanilla powder. Not bad, especially if you mix fruit in it. But for convenience I got the Muscle Milk Light, also at Costco. I didn't think I would like the chocolate milk, but I do! It's great to take to work too. My doctor approved both. Slim Fast, I was told was high in sugar and carbs. I was told to look for at least 15 grams of Protein, 0 carbs and 0 sugar if possible. I only wish they would let you sample them at the stores before committing to such a large bag or container. Trader Joes has some good ones too. Good Luck!

I have tried so many kinds but keep returning to the one listed above. Had to consume 4 to 6 of those for two weeks preop. Mix in blender with 1 cup skim milk or 1% milk with 4 ice cubes. Add 1 tsp of vanilla to the vanilla. Like the chocolate and vanilla but don't really like the strawberry. It's hard finding one that you like and drink daily.

wishing you the best.

The ones at Trader Joes mentioned above are called Worldwide Pure Protein Shakes. Come in 21g Protein and 35g. Website promotes as sports drink, and can says not for weight loss, but Brigham Womens Hospital has it on their approved list of Protein Drinks. It is 160-170 cal, little to no fat, 2g Fiber, 1 sugar. Doesn't have a lot of Vitamins like Atkins, but my dietician has me taking a multi, B-12 sublingual, and Calcium, so I don't worry about it. It has 70% of calcium and 2% Iron, that is about it. I think it tastes better than Atkins, plus has more protein. If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby go to Worldwide Sport Nutrition for store locator. Just remember they promote it as a workout drink only.

I use Unjury. The chocolate tastes like chocolate milk and the strawberry is very good if you mix it with lemonade (I put one scoop of strawberry unjury and 1 pkg of crystal light lemonade and add 16 ounces of water). The chocolate is really good if you add a splash of coconut sugar free Syrup.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
