My doc told me about some protein water, but I can't remember the name of it to save my life. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I know of protein drinks mixed with water instead of milk. They are not so much like shakes but more like juice or koolaid or gatorade or lemonade or iced tea. I've never heard of a drink that was jus****er but had any amount of protein.

I'm guessing you want something other than milky shakes?

Try Syntrax Nectar. They have lemonade, lemon tea, and some crystal light type flavors.

Try Isopure ready to drink. They are fruity flavors, kina like juice. Maybe fruit punch.

Try Cytosport ready to drink. I thought they were a lot like Gatorade only I thought they had a nasty aftertaste I could not deal with. But some like them.

Try Unjury chicken soup - mixed with water, of course.

Lori you are right! My Safeway store carries the Muscle Milk Protein water. I really like them. The grapefruit is really good!

I have a box of the Special K Strawberry Kiwi and the Tea Protein packets. They are really good! One word of warning...they are really sweet so I only use about a half of a packet for a water bottle instead of a whole. Or use a extra large water bottle. You're still getting a lot of protein out of it.

BTW - they are sugar free

Probably Isopure - You can get it at GNC. I just tried Alpine Punch for the 1st time and I cannot get it down....If you try another flavor and like it could you please let me know lol.....I am trying to find a protein drink in a liquid form tolerable....Also gatorade just came out with one but it has quite a bit of sugar.......So keep me posted if you can...and let me know what you come up with!

Good luck and happy drinking.....
