I need some suggestions on "tried and true tasting" protein shakes for my first 2 weeks of liquids after surgery July 8th. Could you give some name brands, where you buy them, how you mix them, and if they really taste good?

Try this...it is delicious and I bought the Muscle Milk (powder) right in the grocery store.

Protein shake

1 cup of light silk soy milk, vanilla flavored

1 tlbs Peanut Butter

1 scoop of Muscle Milk

handful of ice cubes

Mix up well in the blender and enjoy! It is so yummy.

I would be very cautious about using Muscle Milk because it has a LOT of calories. It is commonly used by weight lifters to increase lean muscle and bulk up body mass.
