It doesn't have some I want to try. I like fuzzy navel with a tube of crystal light orange or citrus in 36/48 oz of water. I like the caribbean cooler with mango peach crystal light or cran peach. I also really like the lemon tea, esp with peach mango crystal light or peach tea.
Hope one works for you.

Best of luck. I know your struggle so well. I think a lot of us do.
I was 2 YEARS post-op before I found a protein combo that worked well enough for me to actually not gag on it. Before that, I made protein "shots" - literally just adding enough water to the mix to get the protein to a liquid state and then holding my nose and getting it down in 3 or 4 swallows. Yuk.
What finally worked for me was something a newbie (at that time) suggested. I bought the best tasting vanilla protein I could find, even though it costs considerable more than the cheapest - it was an investment. Then I put it in the blender with fresh or frozen fruit, ice cubes, SF vanilla pudding and some very good vanilla extract (Madagascar, also kinda expensive, but well worth it). The taste is so refreshing, and the vanilla extract eliminates the aftertaste. I am so grateful to that OH member - and feel like an idiot because I never could remember her name to thank her.
Basically just wanted to let you know that odds are you WILL find something tolerable. Don't give up - look how long it took me!
Oh and you might check out Nik's website. She has a zillion recipes for protein shakes. I think her motto is "there is never an excuse to drink a bad protein shake" or something like that.
