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.

thanks, Shelli!!!

My faves are unjury strawberry and Natural Factors Double chocolate. I like the Natural Factors because it doesn't have any artificial sweetneers and is organic. I've turned into a Manic Organic since banding. I want everything to be the best quality.

Thought my grocery bill would go down..... Not the case yet....

I like the eas chocolate powdered Protein. I mix it with Hood's chocolate milk (no sugar, low fat.) It doesn't have the nasty thick consistancy of slimfast. You can also get it at Sams.

I agree about thinning down the slimfast in a blender with ice cubes and a little flavoring.

Gotta love that magic bullet

I also like the unjury. the non-flavored is great to add to anthing you want..

I love the chocolate,

Also look for healthwise online. they have great,shakes/puddingd, and fruit drinks, as well as hot chocolate and coffee drinks

I ordered a bunch of sugar fre flavorings from Capella Flavor Drops - Flavor Concentrates for Coffee, Tea, Desserts, Diet & Protein Shakes without fats,calories,carbs or sweeteners

a sample pack of 5 bottles, your choice came to around $34. this includes your shipping.

try drwells.info. she is a local weight loss doctor who has a lot of high protein products for sale on her site. You can at least look at some nutrition labels and get ideas and see some different brands.

The ones my mom used after her Gastric Bypass you can get at a health/vitamin store. They're called Champion and they taste really really good...plus she started using (sparingly) the Sugar-free Fat-free syrups (like caramel, raspberry, etc) to add flavor and it makes a world of difference...plus it's a huge amount of protein in those shakes...

Atkins has a shake, Caramel Latte, that has 20g of Protein and 2 (I think) g of carbs. It is awesome. Tastes like a Starbucks Frappachino. At least that's what I tell myself. :angry_smile:

I also like the Slim Fast Optima French vanilla and Milk chocolate. The Milk Chocolate tastes very much like a fudgecicle.

I drink them all very, very cold over ice.

Unjury isn't too bad. I would go to Walmart and buy the Body Fortress Whey protein in all the flavors you like. it is much cheaper than unjury and tastes just the same. The good part about unjury is that they have so many flavors. A lot of the doctor's offices have protein supplements. I also like healthwise. They have a tomato soup that is pretty good and gives you some variety.

I like the Atkins and EAS Carb Control ready-to-drink shakes. I also have gotten Designer Whey powder. I tried a lot of samples from Vitalady.com but most of them tasted gross to me and required a lot of mixing. The Designer Whey powder mixes easily with a spoon.

unjury is OK too, but the strawberry sorbet flavor is the worst. IMHO. :biggrin:

Thats so funny, I love the strawberry unjury, goes to show you, you just gotta try them all!

Really?! :biggrin: I'm not a picky person and I couldn't even get it down. It definitely goes to show you that it's a good idea to try lots of different kinds before making an investment (I read stories on here of people buying big containers of Protein powder only to find out that they hated 'em). Sample packs are the best way to go, I think.

Medifast is pretty decent. Do the chocolate with a couple drops of mint extract and 4 ice cubes. Yum. Also, instead of water, I used Diet Rite orange soda with the vanilla shake mix for a dreamsicle. Also use Diet A&W rootbeer and vanilla shake. And their strawberry is good all by itself.:thumbup:

Thank you all for your input, help and suggestions! I really appreciate it. I have now put a small fortune into different shakes to try. I will do this! I can do this! I have to do this!

You are very welcome - I try to have a little fun with the shake recipes!
