I know we are all going to have drink Protein shakes at some point so I have been doing some taste tests. LOL

The best will get 5 :redface: faces. The worst 1 :frown: face.

The first one I tried was the Walmart chocolate brand. It is a big tub for 13 bucks. Great deal! Bad taste. I could barely drink but I gagged it down. I will probably throw it out unless someone here in the Vancouver/Portland area wants it. It gets only one :smile: drool face.

Then I tried a couple of the protein bullets. I had one cold and one room temp. Either way they had okay flavor. I prefer them room temp. Because when they are cold it is almost like a Jello shot and who wants to do a jello shot with no booze?!? The Protein Bullets get :huh2::drool::drool: drool faces.

The last brand I tried is Syntrax nectar Protein powder in Caribbean Cooler. Oh my gosh! It is so good. It tastes just like a tropical juice mix. Of course, it has the bit of "this tastes like a protein shake" thing but it tastes so much better than the other two brands I tried. It mixes up clear. It has 90 calories and NO CARBS!! When I can have fruit again, I am going to blend this up with some ice and banana. YUM!

The Nectar series comes in a bunch of yummy flavors. I bought my jug o'powder at my local Vitamin Shoppe and they ordered me the Nectar in Latte Cappuccino flavor. I can now have my "coffee" too! WOOT! The best part about the Vitamin Shoppe is they told me if I take some protein powder home and I absolutely hate it I can bring it back for a full refund. The Syntrax Nectar gets: :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: drool faces.

Thanks for doing the taste test for protein shakes - I was wondering what was the best. I will now try the Syntrax Nectar.

Thanks again for your research.

I have the Syntrax Matrix Cookies and Cream bag of protein mix, and it is sooooooooooooo good. I put it in a magic bullet with ice and either water or non-fat milk... DELICIOUS!!! I totally recommend it to anyone.... I would give it 6 drool faces.... :biggrin:

I, too, am a fan of the Syntrax Nectar series. The Chocolate Truffle and Fuzzy Navel are decent.

My pre-op diet said that I had to use Myocel (which has super slow shipping, so I haven't tried it yet) or Atkins...so Atkins it is.

I have them with a little ice and a spoonful of sf/ff pudding mix in the magic bullet. They are super yummy.:cursing::drool::crying::drool: Tastes like a milkshake!

I especially like: strawberry shake with either banana pudding mix or cheesecake pudding mix. vanilla shake with lemon or banana...and of course...choco shake with choco pudding!! Woohoo, choco overload!:thumbdown:

Um, YUM!!!

I wish more companies would sell samples of their flavors. They would make so much more money. I want to try so many different ones but they are pricey and I just don't need 20 pounds of Protein powder. LOL

Do you like your Magic Bullet? Is it worth the price?

magic bullet is totally worth the $ ... It's much easier to clean too. I like metrx protein plus & was myoplex lite so far .... There are some at vitamin shoppe that are clear with 45-50 gms of protein ... 2 days post op and I might be up to a field trip to vitamin shoppe today. Lortab is your friend!

My mom has had the Gastric bypass for over 4 years now and i was just banded 8/22/08 and loving it. My mom and i have 1 favorite after trying several, even all her grandkids love it.

Champion Nutrition Pure Whey (Chocolate)

It tastes like chocolate milk! I live near Phoenix, AZ and not been able to find a store that didn't go out of business that sells this anymore. (If you know any of store in AZ that sells it, let me know) I order it online at Vitalady.com (she is the most reasonable price!)

Um, YUM!!!

I LOVE my magic bullet!! I've used it every single day since I bought it. If you register your e-mail with linens-n-things dot com, they will e-mail you a 20% off coupon that you can use in the store...that's what I did.

I really like the shake mixes from BariacticEating.com..........I would like them even if I was not "On the program"! They are VERY high in protein.....like 41 grams.
