Which Protein Powder to Buy?

I am having surgery soon and want to get ready -- the products all come in large amounts and I don't want to buy the "wrong" one is there one that is the best? What about if you are diabetic?

I just bought a Soy protein powder made by EAS at Wal-Mart it is 14 servings for just 6.98, I got the vanilla flavor and it is actually very good, I blend it with milk, ice and a bannana, I figured I was safe buying it at that price and only 14 servings in the event I did not like it, not much was invested in it

I have never really been into the protein drink thing since I do not like to use my calories in liquid form,and never really found a protein powder I liked the taste of however there are days when I am very tight so I am using this as an alternative on those days which has been the last 2 days in the morning, the added pottassium with the bananna has allready made a diference in my leg cramps at night.

I really liked the 'Nectar' brand. You can find it online or in some supplement stores. I really liked the 'fuzzy navel' (i.e. peach!) and I would mix it with some Crystal Light Lemonade and have peach lemonade! Yummmmmy!!!

I like the Musashi product, but not the premixed stuff. I generally make fruit smoothies with it.

Your local vitamin/nutrient/supplement store should be able to recommend something specifically for you and your situation though.

Hi Bandayed! I started a similiar thread in the food forum. i got a lot of good posts from other members. Check it out. I think it is whey vs. soy protein powder. I bumped it for you..........Jess

buying the big "kegs" is the most economical - if you can find one you like. Go to GNC and pick one out that has protien Isolate in the ingredients - that is a higher quality than the concentrate. Keep your receipt - try it for a few days - if you dont like it GNC will take it back and refund your money. Keep trying untill you find one you like.

Good luck,
