Favorite Protein Shake?

I drank them for 2 1/2 months after my surgery and would honestly throw up if I even had a taste. Making your own is so easy, much less expensive and taste great. I made a chocolate cherry smoothie this morning with a scoop of UnJury protein powder, Greek fat free yogurt, frozen cherries, one Majool date, 2 tablespoons coco, 1/2 c 1% milk. It was delicious with 33 grams of protein, lots of calcium and antioxidants.

I’m going to try the 4 pack from Walmart before committing to the big boxes at Costco, but I think it’d be worth a try. I also need to get more protein water. Love the coconut Protein2O

I think you will probs find the carmel to be too strong/sweet. I tried the protein water before surgery and found it way to sweet/nasty. Prior to surgery I used to drink all flavors but vanilla of the protein now post I can only do the coffee and chocolate and even those are hit or miss on how my stomach tolerates them.

This is also what I use for the most part. No taste and texture is what I need. I throw it into a smoothie daily. Today's was a blueberry one with half cup blueberries and one container of light and fit blueberry yogurt.
I will occasionally have a premier protein or take a shake and throw in some fruit. Today I had a coffee one with a banana added.
The unjury doesnt bother my stomach at all
I love the Unjury protein powder too. It doesn’t bother my stomach either. Tomorrow I’m making a peanut butter and jelly protein smoothie. I make it with Unjury protein powder, a tablespoon of peanut butter, frozen blueberries, a majool date, 3/4 cup 1%milk.

I have the Premier clear shakes and I don't like them. That is a good idea to dilute it with water. I will give that a try. I hate for them to go to waste. BTW, I love the cafe latte Premier Shake. Keep in mind that it does have caffeine so you might want to limit that one to one a day.

Where do you find this protein powder? I didn't see it on Amazon. I like that is lower in calories.

I've been using Isopure, Gatorade, and Astroflav protein powder shakes so far.
Isopure was my first purchase, and my least favorite. They're tolerable when I add a scoop of Naked PB powder to them.
Gatorade protein shakes are better, with less blandness, but a bit harder to blend than Isopure.
Astroflav is the only one I 100% enjoy without adding anything else. Mixes and goes down well.
Also mix all my drinks in a Blendjet 2, for reference.

I was getting from my hospital pharmacy now I order directly from the company on-line UNJURY Medical Quality Protein & Vitamins- Homepage

Yes, directly online. If you do a subscrib and and save you save a couple of bucks but I dont think the price is that bad especially since it doesn't bother my stomach at all which is great because most other protein shakes do a body cleanse. It was what was recommended by my nutritionist to try when I was having struggles with the premier.

Good to know. I'm going to branch out and try some other protein drinks/powders when I need to get more. At first I didn't really like powders but found that I had to blend it in my ninja with ice and milk so it tastes and feels like a milkshake. When I just used a shaker bottle I didn't care for it.

I have mixed it in food but blend it in to my smoothies with a blend jet 2. Don't notice it in anything but like typical protein gets a bit "fluffy" when blended in a more liquid consistancy than thicker.
There’s no taste to Unjury protein powder. I just ordered the vanilla and chocolate. It should be delivered soon. I’ll let you know how it it. I know the unflavored is great with no gritty or chalky texture.
If someone had worms in their Fairlife I would assume that it was well past the expiration data. I have been drinking Fairlife twice a day since my operation in June and used to drink other variations of Fairlife before and have never had any issues with worms.
The coffee flavor is great and hopefully they will start to get more distribution in place for the different flavors. I would have to imagine now that Coke (i believe they own 100% of it now) that the will be able to use their marketing and influence with the retailers to get the additional flavors in wider availability.
