I am currently looking for the right protien shake for me..... I have only tired one and it was TERRIBLE. So I thought I would ask you guys what you have found. I like the sweet stuff that makes me think Im drinking a milkshake. Im not much for choking down something that is nasty. Right now I am drinking slim fast and I love them but they only have 10 grams of protien rather than the 25 or so you get from a protien shake. What have you guys found?

I like the CarbSolutions shakes I get from Drugstore.com. They are just a tad chalky but that's because they also have a lot of nutrition in them aside from the protein, but I like them a lot. They're sweetened with sucralose (Splenda).

Try the Muscle Milk Light - they have 20 grams of Protein in each shake and to me the chocolate is delicious.

My suggestion is to purchase 1 or 1 pack to try and if you like it costco sells it by the case.

I agree with the muscle milk light. I have used the powder in cookies n creme and vanilla creme. If you want a sweet taste, then this might be for you. I am currently using gnc's unflavored whey protein and am mixing it in my morning smoothies.

Thanks! I didnt think about muscle milk! I also didnt think about the unflavored! Once I get to where I can drink smoothies again that would be prefect!!

I think that generally you will find the pre-made shakes in the cans have a very chemically flavor. I have found that the powder (I use the Unjury which I order on the internet) is much smoother and does not taste bad at all. I even add a little peanut butter or espresso instant coffee to switch up the flavor. I just ordered powdered Peanut butter which has much fewer calories and fat to see how it tastes in the shakes.

The girls in my support group all recommended Unjury. You can get it at Unjury.com. I really like it. The chocolate when mixed with skim milk tastes a lot like chocolate milk. They all swore by it, and after trying it, I agree :thumbup:

How often does everyone have a protein shake? My Nut said she wants me to eat my protein instead of drinking it, so I haven't been having the shakes regularly. Most days I get the minimum protein of 65 gr in but I am really afraid of hair loss. I have lost enought from medication I am on.

I cannot stand the smell of Protein powders and high Protein shakes. I have found that if if use powdered carnation instant Breakfast (the sugar free kind) and mix in half a scoop of unjury unflavored Protein Powder, the gross smell and taste is minimized. I actually find myself looking forward to it each morning. I get 23g protein in each shake when made with skim milk.

If you like slim fast, there is a slim fast low carb that has 20grams of protein. That is what I have started drinking just to get the protein in. I dont think it taste any different than the other slim fast.

Like an above poster, I use the chocolate Unjury and mix in a tablespoon of PB2 powdered peanut butter. Delicious! And the nutrition facts for the PB2 are amazing. It obviously doesn't give you that creamy texture of peanut butter, but if its the taste you're after, you can't beat PB2. There is something like 2-3g of fat per serving but 6g of protein. Awesome!

Hi,

I was banded on August 31st and I have found that Trader Joe's Protein Pazazz is pretty awesome.

If you like slim fast, there is a slim fast low carb that has 20grams of Protein. That is what I have started drinking just to get the protein in. I dont think it taste any different than the other slim fast.

This is the Protein shake I drink - Slim Fast Low Carb Diet. It has 20 grams of Protein, 190 Calories, with a Total Fat of 9grams. Total Carbs - 6 grams. I drink Creamy chocolate - and it's real good chilled.....

I hated everything I ever tried except vanilla creme or banana creme muscle milk light blended with milk, frozen strawberries, and a little splenda.

I tried Akins Advantage Vanilla Shake. It has 15g of Protein, 1 g of Sugar, 1g Net Carbs and 2 g of Fiber. It helps with the bowel situations since it has the fiber in it too. Drink two a day. Can purchased them from Walmart or by the case from Sam's club. Not too bad but they be COLD.

I find the Atkins low card Cafe Caramel and Cafe Mocha are very tasty. The only place I am able to find them on the shelf is the Vitamin Shoppe.
