Hey all! 

Forgive me if there's another post somewhere about this, but my surgeon's clinic doesn't sell any supplements or protein powders, and while I'm sure they can give me some great recommendations, I'm just wondering what people here like the best? What tastes best, what blends best, what are the best flavors, etc? I've been seeing people talking about Isolate, what does that mean?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I use Unjury protein powder and opurity suppliments. Both are available directly from their website. The protein blends well and tastes good to me. My doc insists on this protein brand. Lots of info on thier website.

Awesome thanks! Ordering online is a good idea. I'll check them out.

I have tried them all and Unjury choc splendor mixed with almond milk is the best in my opinion. And I also take the opurity vitamins.

I use Unjury and Body Fortress, which you can get at Walmart for like $15.

If you have a Meijers near you, they carry it too, and sometimes has it on sale.

Jay Robb vanilla is awesome, IMHO. It mixes very easily, is smooth and doesn't get thick and chalky, and is sweetened with Stevia so you're not getting artificial sweeteners. I mix it with almond milk.

Isolate is referring to the type of protein in the shakes, usually it's called "whey isolate". This is an easily digested and generally well tolerated type of protein.

Ooh, I like non-artificial sweeteners. I'll have to try Stevia again, I'm using Splenda now. 

Thanks for the tips, Pam!
