I'm looking into powdered protein drinks, now that its warm, I think they won't be as thick as pre made ones so I can tolerate them better?  Anyone love the Premier Protein from Costco? I know the Pre made is so thick I had a hard time getting it down.

Any other favorites?

Isopure makes a clear bottled drink.  It comes in fruit flavors and has 40 grams of protein in 20 ounces.

I had a really hard time with this one... I thought I would like it because it was more of a juice and not a "shake," but I had to return it to the store. I couldn't even finish one bottle!

If you cut the Isopure 50/50 with water it is much more tolerable, especially served over ice. That's what I do, though I am pre-op and my stomach may handle cold stuff better than someone freshly post-op.

For protein powder, I use About Time stuff. 30gms protein and 1gm carbs per scoop, and they are not sickly sweet like a lot of protein powders. They mix very well with plain liquids, no chalky chunks or residue in the bottom of your cup. I usually mix half vanilla and half chocolate if I'm doing a protein coffee. The vanilla is great for doing smoothie type drinks with fruit and greek yogurt, if those are on your plan. I tried the birthday cake flavor as well and wasn't impressed with it on its own, though in a smoothie with fruit you can't tell any difference from the vanilla.

I do syntrax matrix  milk chocolate almost exclusively. Good price, good taste

also syntrax nectar vanilla bean torte. 

Since the surgery I can't do sugary ones, but lots of people do syntrax nectar in the fruity flavors

I love the double rich chocolate Optimum Nutrition whey.  It's delicious.  I make it with unsweetened original Almond Milk.

The clear isopure is a little more tolerable if you add Crystal Light powder with the ones that don't have such a strong taste, like the grape or orange.

Thanks. I'll try that... I had the Alpine Punch & tried to mix it with my Crystal Light but I still couldn't get it down. I'll try the grape and orange.

I like premier protein; need to go to costco to get some now that walmart stopped stocking it.  It's good for me when I'm on the run and forget to eat or drink something.  

My favorites are chike (I'm a coffee person) and syntrax nectar.  I don't like the nectar sweets, only the fruity ones.  These will be great for summer because they are water based.  My favorite flavors are grapefruit, grape and lemon tea (amped up with extra lemon slices and a but of sweetener).
