I am on track to have gastric bypass in the fall after years of going back and forth, and I need to start trying some protein shakes. Back in 2009 when I was going to do it the first time, I didn't like any of the brands I got from the nutritionist.
But my new nutritionist wants me to try some more. Sof is there a good brand where they are acceptable tasting and texture? Or do you make your own?
Thanks!
Lifetime fitness vanilla. Mixed with oj. With hot weather coming could also freze into small popsicles.
I like the GNC store brand - Chocolate Carmel flavor
For me the key is to have the water being ICY Cold
For ready made I like the EAS ones Chocolate Fudge
It is all about personal taste though
i haven't tried the GNC brand but i want to, i hear they taste the best.
costco is okay.
the best one i've tried so far is (weirdly) nutrisystem. they're so good that my dh and i are thinking about paying the $49 to keep our status active even though we're not ordering the food any more just so we can keep ordering their shakes.
i also get organic raw hemp protein through Natural Zing to add to my green smoothies. it doesn't change the taste at all (which isn't an endorsement, i drink green smoothies dutifully, not with joy) but adds a protein punch.

I don't know if cost is an issue but if it isn't, I would highly recommend Shakeology. It is one of the fwe on the market that actually is good for you all around. I love the taste, texture, all the good nutrients plus it kept me regular too! The only downside for me is that a 30-day supply runs about $130.00 including S&H. If they could do it for cheaper, I would be addicted to it!!!! They offer great recipes too so you can change it up at any time.
Good luck!
Shakeology is awesome! If you want something in a store I like syntha-6. A lot of guys use it because UFC fighters drink it but it is actually good.
Good luck on your surgery!
I drink Dymatize Elite Gourmet. Its a whey and casein blend. The chcolate peanute butter is to die for! As long as I whip or mix it well, there is no texture. I even add it to my coffee and any bfast batter mixes like bran muffins, banana bread and pancakes.
EAS tastes funny to me and Special K is just too sweet. DEG is 21g protein, 1.5 total fat, no sugar and 6g carbs.
My husband likes the strawberry Myloplex shakes. He only buys the premade ones. I tried the Muscle Milk Light Vanilla and it was awful. My husband told me that none of them are very good you just have to get used to it.
I really like the Special K protein shakes. I could never choke down slim fast or any of those other products but actually like the taste of special k milk chocolate and it has a more milk like texture than it is thick.
I absolutely love Arbonne's Figure 8 protein shakes. I am not affiliated with Arbonne in any way, so I am not trying to sell them to you, I promise! :) I buy them from my MIL and my whole family loves the chocolate flavor.
I have never liked a protein shake in my life until I tried the Figure 8. I actually look forward to drinking it!
Good luck!
Costco...Orgain nutritional drink....creamy chocolate fudge or vanilla
My husband and kids like Designer Whey. It mixes well even without using a blender.
If you have a Costco near you they sell a brand of ready to drink shakes called Premier Protein High Protein Shake...my husband and I like the Chocolate flavor the best. Also, we just tried the Strawberries N Cream GNC Total Lean ready to drink shakes that is really good too. They come in other flavors as well.
