Protein HELP!

I like the Pure Protein RTD shakes, in chocolate. Also Atkins. I'm kind of limited, because I only like chocolate flavors which does get a bit old.

For a while I really liked the Syntax Nectar Chocolate Truffle mix, but all of a sudden it got disgustingly sweet. I discovered if I added 2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder it cut the cloying sweet taste and made it much more palatable.

I'm on the liquid diet now, and most protein drinks make me gag too.  I have found a couple that I don't hate, so am able to drink those.  I am using Premier Protein vanilla, GNC Lean 25 Banana and GNC Lean 25 strawberry.  I am required to use a meal replacement, and these all have the appropriate vitamins and minerals in them.  You might consider thinning them out with water if they are too thick for you.  That helps.

Yes they make you gag sometimes. Early on jay Robb worked for me, -Stevia and milder chocolate flavor. Then about 6 weeks out I was gagging on protein shakes and Coffee ones came to my rescue. Chike, Fit Frappe, and RTD Atkins cafe. You just have to keep experimenting. I do love unflavored Genepro Protein powder. You can buy it on Amazon. You can mix it directly in hot liquids and 1 TBSP= 30g whey protein. Good Luck.

thank you everyone. I have made an awesome list from all the suggestions. I start liquids tomorrow. I wish I would have had this all taken care of before but my surgery date just creeped up on me so quick! I will be trying lots of these...I hope I can find one that will make this phase a little tastier! Thanks so much for all the suggestions!!

I like the core power light in strawberry banana.  Now I use Genepro.  It has been a life saver.  No taste no smell and you can mix it in everything.
