By drinks do you mean protein shakes?

 

[13Rosie]

Yes, Don't like any of the protein drinks, i bought almost all flavors, it makes me gag just thinking of it. But i do my best and stay on track.

I have to tweak protein shakes to make them drinkable. I use Carnation Instant Breakfast pouch to add to my ready to use shake. Protein shake
Carnation Instant Breakfast
1% milk - 1-2 cups
Ice - 1 cup

Put it all in the blender and it comes out like a milkshake.

You can also use vanilla ready to use shakes -add frozen fruit - instant s/f pudding mixes to make other flavors.

Start simple - and add things you enjoy/can tolerate and go from there. I believe there are some recipes for protein shakes in past posts.
