Protein Drinks vs. Protein Powders

I use world wide ultra protien drinks when i am on the go....they are sugar free and some have as much as 35 grams of protien per can...they come in many flavors (my fav is the cappucino) I get them at Trader Joes or GNC

When they tell you not to buy alot and that your tastes change, its something like a MAJOR understatement!!   I'm so glad I listened!!!

I bought a well thought of Whey protein powder that I NEVER could drink and threw away 3 days in!  I also tried Isopure and HATED it!   I eventually settled on my 20grm drink in the AM called AchievOne (which you can't get anymore until they finish their repackage drama---just saying that makes me cry I love that stuff) and I use my protein bullet (New Whey 42grm) which I now understand is too much protein at one time and needs to be split up. (check out the answers to my protein question posted yesterday--these guys gave GREAT info!)

Many people are able to get their protein from food, I just don't seem to be one of them.  My plan includes supplements and I'm sure it always will.    You need about 85-100 a day, so I thought I was getting 62 from the supplements.  I will now split the 42 and use another to ensure I'm getting my protein!   It is VITAL that you find a way!  Just keep trying all the stuff till you find one you like! and you WILL find one!  Good luck to you!

I had a really difficult time finding a protien drink that I could stomach.  Before the surgery I really liked the Isopure, but after surgery it smelled and tasted different.

After trying 4 or 5 different brands I finally tried Jay Robb.  I really like the Vanilla because you can add SF syrups too it without it being over whelming.  I tried the chocolate for the first time this week and it was really good with a 1/4 cup of frozen unsweetened cherries blended in.

He has a website, but I was able to find the smaller sizes at a local vitamin shop.  It definitely wasn't the cheapest brand in the store, but I knew the supplements after surgery could be costly.
