Protein Shakes

I have 75 days until my surgery. I am trying to buy protein shakes now, because I am a very picky eater and want to be sure I will like what I am having. Any suggestions?

I get EAS from Target (Vanilla). Your tastes might change after surgery though, so beware.

 As Michele state, it is possible/probable your tastes may change after surgery.  My advice is to get a good vanilla or unflavored powder, some sf syrups - and wait.  I wouldn't buy too much at all.  Otherwise you might be out some money if your tastes change.  And if you are picky - it is a higher chance that you will be out money once you discover where your tastes are after surgery.

I'm a very picky eater also. I have discovered I have less tolerance for sweet stuff than before. I used to be a sugarholic now most stuff taste too sweet. But here are some ideas....syntrax has a sample pack you can order online that lets you try all their flavors, but my favorite is premier nutrition chocolate RTD (ready to drink) you can get at sam's club or costco. Another suggestion is if you have a Vitamin shoppe store near you, they usually have single serve powders and a refridgerated case full of different RTDs but they can get a little pricey.

Do I have to have the powders with water, or can I use like 1% milk?

Milk's better. Also, you can add greek yogurt and flavorings to make nice smoothies with the protein.

Thank you..... I am excited and nervous all at the same time and I still have 75 more days to go.
