    protein shakes

     hey I just had surgery june 13,  2012 I can't find a good tasting protein shake that I can drink everyday can anyone give me some suggestions?? 
    I prefer the Premier Protein drinks.  I am in Canada and we only have the chocolate flavour available at Costco.  I love it with decaf coffee for a warm cafe mocha.   Or with 5 ice cubes for a nice cold drink.  It is so convenient being premixed.

    Surgery does tend to change your taste buds for awhile. Just buy as many
    single servings of protien as you can. The Vitamin Shoppe and Amazon sell
    singles. This just may be something that your just gonna have to do. Drink it
    down. Hold your nose just get the protien in you no matter what. This is very
    important. You really have no choice.

    Good luck

    I was like you first out, and thought I'd never find one that I could tolerate! Thankfully, I found a few that I could easily tolerate. I love the Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie and the Matrix strawberry. I mix them with soy milk usually but they are fine with skim milk too, and I know there are people who use water and think they are great that way too.

    Good luck!

    You can get a lot of different samples from vitalady.com.

    I love the Syntrax Nectar cappuccino, and their vanilla bean is pretty good, too.  I like Chike banana and vanilla.  Celebrate ENS vanilla cake batter is pretty good.  I like Isoflex chocolate mint and Optimum Nutrition caramel toffee fudge (that one is good in a hot protein drink with some decaf coffee).

    I started getting the one from walmart, a whey protein.  I get chocolate and mix it with 1 cup of 1%milk, 1 container of okios yogurt (strawberry or blackcherry), 1 scoop of protein powder.  It's breakfast and takes me right up to 1/2 hour before lunch, helps with fluid intake. Taste like choc covered strawberry or black forest cake.  You don't tend to notice the protien taste of the powder.  You also get 46g of protein.

    I love Unjury! I have chocolate and vanilla, I make them with skim milk but add in flavors found in the baking isle such as mint, raspberry, coconut. They allow for me to do something different everyday and keep it new. I also find the Unjury without flavor pretty delicious without that yucky protein taste. Everyone is different but before investing in a $20 canister I would try a few packets.
