Synthrax nectar in the fuzzy navel flavor. By a freind's recommensation, I mix it with crystal light peach tea and at least 16 oz of Water. (It is too strong if i mix it with anythign less than 16 oz of water).

I absolutely HATE all other Protein drinks. They either dry out my mouth, taste too much like medicine, or are just plain yucky. I also do not really care for ones that I have to add milk to. I have spent (and wasted) a fortune on finding a Protein Drink that I like and this one was it. I have never had it plain though, I always mix it with the crystal light so it ends up tasing like peach tea to me. i also liek this one becasue it does not have that "medicine store " smell to it when you open the container.

You get 23g of whey Protein per serving. One serving is only 90 calories. (95 if you choose to add the crystal light). I really recommend it.

Warning: If you order it is costs about $25.00 and it comes in a ENORMOUS container.

I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to Protein Drinks. Most make me want to throw up. I found a RTD that is called Extreme smoothie (chocolate dream) and is 35 grams of Protein. I stopped drinking them and just started back a week or so ago and the weight is coming off faster now and that is the ONLY thing I am doing different. I would like to know what the name of the drink is at Trader Joe's. It seems that my body loses weight faster with a Protein Drink.< /p>

Trader Joe's Protein shakes are made by a company called "Worldwide." The have two kinds. One with 35 grams of Protein and the other with 21 grams. They come in chocolate or vanilla. Here is the nutritional info for the 35 grams of protein in "frosty chocolate" Serving size = 1 can (11 fl ounces) calories = 170 total fat = 1 gram carbs = 4 grams They are very reasonable in price.

I have used these two drinks prior to my lapband surgery and afterwards. For example, this morning, I drank the vanilla flavor with some banana, cinnamon and a little milk. Excellent! I also add frozen banana to the chocolate flavor. You can also add frozen fruit (which I also buy from Trader Joes).

I always keep it in the refrigerator to keep it cold and use my Bullet blender (any blender will do).

I learned of these drinks through the nutritionist from my bariatric surgeon's office.

Thanks so much for the info!! Are the drinks in powder form? The ones I drink come in a can like soda and I don't have to do anything but put in the fridge. It is so easy but also expensive.

No, they are in liquid form which is MUCH BETTER than powder. When you add ingredients to them, they are much easier to mix up. They come in a can so they are easy to stack on each other.

I also like this Protein drink that is not so easy to locate and buy. Its called Acheive. I can buy it from a health food store 20 miles from my house, a gym 20 miles (or so) from my house or from someone from my support group that sells it from her trunk (I see her rarely)! It tastes like a cold coffee Latte. I put them in my refrigerator. I really like them because they are in glass but I've been told that they may be repackaging them into cardboard.

I was told to have 50 to 70 grams of Protein a day so I drink at least one protein drink a day (along with food).

Now I am really excited. I have not found a powder drink I like yet. This is great. I won't have to pay shipping on the ones I have been drinking. Paying shipping on two cases of liquid Protein drinks in the cans was expensive. I think the shipping cost more than the drinks. I can't wait to go to Trader Joe's and find them.

I'm glad that I helped you out. I hope you like them. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. I really think the Protein drinks really help to supplement our protein because we don't even eat enough food.< /p>

I really like Champion whey Protein low sugar in chocolate. I mix it with Water and some coffee every morning for Breakfast. If I can't seem to keep my food down, I make a shake using this, some skim milk and no sugar added Eddy's slow churned mint choc. chip icecream. It tastes good and is satisfying.

I am glad you started this poll. I have been looking for information on Protein drinks. Is there anywhere you can get free samples?

Cheap (not free) samples at $1.99 each from Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!. Some of them are pretty good!

I like the EAS Myoplex with 42g of protien. I'm having one right now because I had a fill yesterday.

I agree with AliNSanDiego.... Jay Robb whey Protein Isolates - i like chocolate or vanilla... the best i could find, and it seriously tastes like hot chocolate mix. my favorite is mixing it with a sugarfree pudding. so good and sooo filling.

it is hard to find, but if you see it... GET IT!

The Vitamin Shoppe carries the Jay Robb. I just tried the whey and I like it, but do like Unjury much, much better. I just discovered the SF pudding trick and had vanilla, SF cheesecake and frozen whole blueberries all mixed together for dinner tonight. Yummy!

Mine is not on the list. It is by VHT Body and it is the extreme smootie in chocolate or strawberry. It has 35grmas of Protein, 4 carbs and 170 calories.

I like the Champion Pure Whey

Eat2live, I agree. I can't stand the pre made drinks. I like to make them with either chocolate Hood milk or just Fat Free milk.
