Confused about protein
I've read a lot of people one here drink the Pure Protein and Oh Yeah! RTD shakes - because of that, I purchased some. They're good!
BUT then I read the back of them and I'm confused by the type of protein in them. Their ingrediants are below:
PURE PROTEIN (from website):
Ingredients: Water, Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate, Calcium Caseinate), Cocoa (processed with alkali), Artificial Flavors (contains caramel color), Tricalcium Phosphate, Soybean Oil, Sucralose, Salt, Sodium Citrate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Acesulfame Potassium, Carrageenan. Contains milk and soy ingredients.
OH YEAH! (from website):
Filtered Water, Diafiltered Skim Milk, OhYeah! Proprietary Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Calcium Caseinate), And Less Than 2% Of: Sunflower, Safflower and/or Canola Oil, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan, Sucralose, Salt, Vitamin & Mineral Blend (Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbate, Ferric Orthophosphate, Zinc Amino Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Biotin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Niacinamide, Phytomenadione, Potassium Iodide, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Chromium Chloride, Copper Amino Acid, Cyanocobalamin, Sodium Molybdate, Sodium Selenite, Folic Acid, Cholecalciferol, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Manganese Sulfate), Lactase, Acesulfame Potassium, Datem, Red 3, Blue 1.
My question...are either of these good for us post-RNY as they don't appear to be whey protein isolate?

The best kind of protein is what you mentioned .. whey protein isolate. Its is the type best absorbed by our system. So, anything else is not recommended. What you are taking may not be the best thing for you.
So, finish what you got and see if anyone here can recommend some good RTD shakes for you.
A fried on mines uses Isopure RTD and Muscle Milk RTD .. she loves them.

They probably aren't the most IDEAL protein to have but the protein is acceptable (according to my NUT). If you like, or can tolerate whey protein isolate, then that is more ideal but this protein is better than no protein.
My favorite RTD is Protein Blitz (in Grape) by Designer Whey. My favorite powder is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard (Double Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream) and the Nectar Roadside Lemonade and Caribbean Cooler.

uh-oh, I let our secret out on the Protein Blitz, didn't I??? I haven't tried the Orango Mango yet but I buy the grape by the case and always have it on hand. It's a protein that I truly enjoy drinking.
