Suggestions Please On Best Tasting Protein Shakes



Recommended Posts

My dr suggested the Unjury. It all seems so confusing...I guess the Unjury has the best Protein from what I've read. I guess if I dont like it, I'll put it next to every other protein-weight-loss-low-carb blah blah blah in my pantry & try something else. My surgery date is July 15th & I am SO READY! Good luck with yours!

I AM SO PICKY ABOUT THESE THINGS. i AM NOT A MILK DRINKER AT ALL. The only way I can drink it is with lots of choc. or straw. Syrup or in a milkshake. There is no way that I can drink anything that tastes anything like MILK alone. I am the kind of person that if I can't have the real thing and what I want I would just as soon not have it. I guess that's why I am the weight I am hu?

I just placed my order for the Unjury product and you can order samples of the products instead of the whole shabang...which I would rather pay $4 for shipping on 3 sample packs to find out I didn't like it rather then paying $20 for something I don't like or want...so you should try it out this way and try the samples rather then the whole container. The sample packets run $1.75 per sample and my total for ordering 3 samples and the shipping was $8.70 for everything. Again I would rather have a few samples then a whole lot of stuff I don't want. Just FYI incase anyone else is also thinking about trying this stuff.

I'm almost a year out and I think I've tried them all by now.

However my fave is Muscle Milk Light.

190 calories and 25g of Protein in 2 scoops. It come in lots of different flavors so you won't be bored!:biggrin:

I really like the taste of Metobolic RESET Protein powder (made by natures way). I mix it in a magic bullet with skim milk.

It's the lowest carb, lowest calorie good tasting shake I could find.

Give the EAS a try. You can get a 4 pack at Walmart for $4.97. They have strawberry n cream, chocolate fudge, and french vanilla. They are all 2-3 carbs and around 17g protien.

carnation instant Breakfast mixed with a "magic bullet" realitively inexpensive, and very tasty.

Joyce

I totally agree! carnation instant Breakfast is my fav! I usualy get the ones that come in the bottle (not powder) and i mix the chocolate with ice and half a banana, sooooo good!!! or mixed with frozen cherries, thats good too.

I've been using the nutribar replacement vanilla powder and in incorporating it into meals. So for example I take my morning coffee/w milk put it in the blender with the Protein Powder and some ice and make a slushie out of it. Then for lunch I take some Water, frozen fruit berries and the Protein powder and blend it up. For dinner I usually have a piece of meat w/veggies or salad. Can anyone tell me if what I'm mixing the protein powder with is good for me????

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
