Hi all,

I've finally broken down and asked my mother to send me some protein as my options are so limited and taste so disgusting.  She's going to go to Walmart and put it in the mail tomorrow.

What tastes the best to you??  Any suggestions are helpful, and I'll have her send whichever brand is mentioned most. 

Thanks!!!

Linda

The only one at walmart that i can tolerate is the slim fast low carb shakes..I have been ordering the unjury brand and like it good enough. Seems to mix better to me. Best of wishes.

I love the chocolate and latte the most, I can add it to coffee and it makes it yummier

There aren't many choices at Wal-Mart.  The only protein powder they sell is Body Fortress (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies-n-cream).  Some like it, some don't. 

Instead, I'd suggest she gather as many protein powder samples as she can and send you a package so you can test out which flavors work best for you.  I had to try about 4 dozen different flavors before I found a few that worked for me.  Here's a list of online and local resources where she can get samples for you (some of these places might even ship internationally so you can buy them yourself).

Good luck
Pam

I'd suggest trying a source near you for samples. Try ones you think you might like. Then tell mom, you found one, and have her send you the $$ for the ones you like. Your taste buds have to be satisfied. What one person likes here, may not be what you like in regards to flavor or texture. DAVE

My current favs are.... BSN Dessert  - Whipped Cream and Chocolate,  and  my new one that I tried last night Syntrax Medical Plain... 40cal for 10gms of protein... almost tasteless...  I also like BSN Moccochino too.

We got Chike Nutrition samples at our last support meeting and let me tell you--holy cow! I had the banana, which was so freakin good it was almost scary, chocolate, which was great too and vanilla which wasn't my favorite, but still really good. The thing that was the best is that after I whipped it up in my little magic bullet thingy, there was no grit or yucky texture and there was virtually NO protein smell. So although tastes are very subjective, I liked knowing that there is very little proteiny smell or grit.

Good luck!

Thanks to all *****plied.  I think I'll just have her pick up some of the slim fast low carb and go online and collect samples and have them sent to her house, then she can ship them to me.  Ahhhh the fun of living abroad.  I love it here most the time, but we are really limited in the number of products one can find!!!   Frustrating!  Next time I'm in the states, I'll probably end up with a suitcase full of bariatric friendly food and supplements!

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
