Favouite shakes?
After trying many brands, I have been using Bio-X in chocolate flavour and found it similar in taste and consistency of Optifast. I buy mine at Popeyes and highly recommend stopping by a location as the provide samples of their products. I get 30g of protein in about 140 cals. I wasn't big on the vanilla flavour but hey, I didn't enjoy vanilla opti as much as the chocolate.

Try Nectar. THey have many flavors. I got sick of chocolate and banana. I am now into the fruity flavors. Their Fuzzy Navel mixed with Lactaid milk tastes like a dream cycle. I have Twisted cherry and cappuccino coming today. They mix well in water and taste like koolade or juice. YOu can use ho****er with the cappuccino and it tastes like a starbucks type coffee. =)
I bought chocolate peanut butter whey isolate powder 27grams per 1 30 gram scoop and I mix it with milk and it tastes okay but its also watery and just blah lol I am also sick of the pre made ones from costco so I am at a lost also lol I am only 8 days out and can not wait to be able to eat good food with protein
I just looked up the nectar brand, they even make an unflavoured one. I may check around town to see if I can grab some.
Any other ideas folks?
I used to do the Costco RTD that is so popular but never really liked it. Now, I am buying the Whey Isolate Creme Vanilla (powder) (Body Fortress) from Walmart and its cheaper (0.50 cheaper PER shake) and I like the taste without adding anything to it! There is also chocolate or something like that flavour available but the carb or sugar or fat (lol) is higher then the Vanilla one so I stick to that one!
Hope it gives you more options!
Happy Hump Day :)
I just got an email back from iwindirect and they said their two out of stock products will be available this weekend. I may give them a try, will let you know what I think
Yes thank you to the one that posted that site. The products look great and Canadian made. The samples though I was going to order, but they are not whey isolate, which my centre advises is the only protein I can use. Perhaps your centre allows it, which is great
I will e ordering the vanilla whey isolate this Friday so I gave it when I get home from my RNY Thursday (assuming all goes well)
