Which protein shakes taste good?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am schedule to be banded on 1/07/2009 and have been thinking that I should start purchasing a Protein Shake. I have no idea which one to buy or where to start. I know my nutritionist did provide a list but I rather learn from you guys.

Thanks

Hi

I was just banded Tuesday of this week. I feel really good so far. But I have a found that the Boost Protein Drinks are really good. They have 15 grams od Protein and only 8 oz in the drink. Plus they have serveral Vitamins in it. I think they are very tasty. Hope this helps.:biggrin:

My favorite right now is Slim Fast High Protein for 15g. I like how it is really creamy like a milk shake. I also like EAS carbcontrol 17g and I also drank Isopure 40g. I think that some protein drinks are better than others but I think it takes some getting used to the taste.

I like the Slimfast High Protein myself. However, you may want to up your Protein grams per drink. Try visiting the vitamin/nutrition store. I've been using Isopure which has 50 grams per 2 scoop serving. I just use one scoop, blend with a Yoplait Fiber one (fiber plus?) yogurt and about 6 ounces of skim milk. I think it comes to about 250 calories, but I only need 2 per day (lunch and dinner) to meet my protein requirements, plus some.

I've also come up with a new favorite...

I'm allowed to have cream of wheat as long as it's pourable. I mix up my cream of wheat (with water), add a scoop of chocolate Muscle Milk (16 grams protein), cool it down with a bit of skim milk and mix in a Splenda. It's almost like a thick hot chocolate. Well.. maybe that's a stretch, but it's not a bad way to get your protein in.

I was banded in June of 08 and one of my favorite things is chocolate Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with greek yogurt, 2 splendas, a bananna, and skim milk. Mix it up in the blender with some ice and you're good to go. It's very good :laugh:

I like EAS (any flavor) and Atkins, They(Atkins) have a lot of flavors to choose from. Both are very low in carbs and you can get them at Walmart.< /p>

I personally like the muscle milk powder. I think the pre-made bottles are just too think and I have a hard time with those. But the chocolate is really my favorite

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
