OMG dreading the protein shakes

Anyone else out there didnt like the protein shakes?????

Im trying these diffrent shakes and I jus cant stand the taste of any protein shake.  I never did liked them things. My son used to drink lots of them nutritional shakes like ensure, pediasure and sum others when he was younger because he was a lil underweight. I know and here I am overweight. How crazy is that? lol Ok back to the subject,  I remember saying to myself how gross protein shakes  are. I used to look at my son guzzling those shakes down and enjoying them like it was a treat. Yuck. Anyway now I need to drink the shakes and I'm wondering how the HELL am I going pull this off.  They all have this distinctive taste (like liver has that distinctive taste) I know I will be having to drink  protein shakes for some time. I start my liquid diet on Wed. April 20th. So this will become my meal replacements. UGHHH!!!!!!  So not looking forward to this. I am excited for being here at this point though.

Well I will continue to try different ones, I plan on ordering a couple more samples.
Maybe there is one out there that doesnt have that taste. I heard of the unjury one.

What did you do????

 Try Nectar Brand...they sell "juice" flavors-they are really good! I got twisted cherry and it tastes kinda like Fruit Punch/Kool-Aid depending on how much water you use.  I also got the chocolate truffle-I add extra protein and it reminds me of yoohoo.  I use water for the chocolate truffle so it isn't thick.  not too bad.  or try HealthWise drinks-i got cappacunio ( is that how you spell it? lol) and it was good because you can heat it up almost like a real "starbucks" specialty drink.

I am week 3 and I am so sick of the shakes.  I got so sick one day from drinking the Whey french vanilla....I never want to drink a shake again.  So here it is 1:02 in the morning and I'm just now trying to get my first shake in.  good luck!

 I've tried several, and hated most of them.  The best ones I've found are the Jay Robb brand.....the strawberry and tropical dreamsicle are the best.  They don't have that "protein" taste, and they're not thick and gloppy like most.  They are kinda sweet, but I make them in a shaker bottle with soy milk and ice the night before, and drink them when the ice is almost melted.  Very good this way.  The tropical dreamsicle tastes just like a 50-50 bar, and when you mix it with orange juice or orange crystal light, it's exactly like an Orange Julius.  You can get samples of it at Vitamin Shoppe for 2.49.....  :)

I feel the same way you do. I sampled Nectar protein drinks this weekend...YUCK! I tried four of the flavors and couldn't stomach trying another one! One of them smelled like penicillin, the other tasted like cough syrup-just nasty! I did try the Unjury chocolate splender mixed with Silk Almond and it was okay. The chicken soup unjury was not bad at all. I tried the Unjury Unflavored in some crystal lite and although it tasted okay (a little funny), the vitamin smell of it turned my stomach. I, like you, am worried about protein drinks after surgery..I better figure something out because my surgery is is a little over a week away. Best of luck with your weight loss journey!

 I've never been a fan, but I developed some odd soy allergy about 10 years ago so now I'm pretty limited (even those that say "whey" sometimes have some soy in them). I've got 2 months to figure it out, but I feel ya... totally overwhelmed and why do they have to taste so hideous? I've considered just drinking the plain one in water or something, although I'm scared to even try that one. LOL.

We can totally do this! Just think, you have a LOT more options than I do... surely you'll find something you can stand... if not, we'll hold our noses and ***** about it together. :)

Protidiet makes good juice drinks..... Grape and kiwi melon are my favorite. Click is my favorite these days.

I love Max Protein from SEI sold at some GNC and online.  Also you might try "it is about time.com"  I have not tried them yet but got 2 samples for 2.99 a friend told me it has a weak mild taste. Have you been to the site "the world according to egg face.com"?  She has some very good ideas. Good luck.

I use nonfat milk which tastes better than water and it adds 9 grams of protein. I bought a 6 pack variety pf SF Torani syrups off of amazon and I love it since I can add it to vanilla protein shakes to make it different flavors everyday!

Thank you all, I will take everyones advice and continue to try, try , try. Plz keep me posted on any new ideas you may hear or come up with.

Thanks Again
