So I’ve been using protein powder to bump up my protein intake. Getting a little old now, I only have vanilla. Put a few shots off coffee in it, I’m still making up my mind if I like the taste. I think it might be a good change evert now and then.
Protein drinks and taste

lol, I'm still making up my mind. I took my time with it. I think a chug would have me blowing chunks.
I like the idea of the bonus caffeine, sort of like an Ephedra boost with protein.
I'll try it again today; maybe I'll add more coffee this time.

It was pretty good today. Warm but good. I'll try it chilled next....
I'll also give the chocolate a go.

I just use Sam's club Members mark brand protein in the 5 lb bag and it tastes fine
as well most protein powders if mixed with a good blender so you don't get chunks of protein. ( that is usually what makes it taste horrible) Here is the blender i use and it is great hamilton beach.com/dual-wave-blenders-dual-wave-versatile-blender-silver.Hamilton]Hamilton]Hamilton Beach Beach Beach: Dual Wave™ Versatile Blender (Silver)
I bought it at walmart for $59.00 a few months ago. You can also win it at Dave and busters with a certain number of tickets.

My protein tastes fine. Just working through a 5 lb bag of vanilla gets boring when you are having 2-3 drinks with double scoops a day. I’ve even put two scoops into a bowl of soup just to skip the drink for that meal. It wasn’t bad.
lol, I have been taking Isopure chocolate protein powder with Glutamine peptides powder and instead of water, I add 1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup lactose fat free milk (I'm lactose intolerant), tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a tsp of instant espresso!
makes for a tasty treat
lol, I meant drinking just the vanilla is getting old to me. Not that I'm old and toothless......
But I guess to some I am old (40) Other than a few changes, I feel the same as when I was in my 20s

sounds good
My husband uses the vanilla and he adds a banana, a tsp of honey, his flax seed oil, and water.
I'm sure having vanilla, there are many ways you can alter it. Bet you can make all sorts of smoothies with it
I can say this... that for the last 6 years I have tried just about every protein powder, shake, nugget, cookie (yes.. they exist) and any other form of protein that's available.
Here' what I like:
Powders
Nectar by Syntrax - 23g protein per scoop & 100 calories. Can be blended with water (if you get the fruit flavored ones) or milk for the traditional choco/vanilla
Inspire - 30g protein per scoop and 123 calories. Again with water or milk depending on flavor. I prefer the pomegranate razz sangria flavor, but i hear the peanut butter cookie flavor is da bomb too
Body Fortress Super Advantage Whey - 52g protein per 2 scoops, 210 calories, 3g sugar, 4g total fat. Flavor - Cookies n Cream. This is a beaut! and you can get this at Walmart on the cheap
PURE - (unflavored) - 12g protein per scoop & 100 calories. This one's nice because you can add it to anything from cereal to soup
RTDs
BELIEVE Protein Drink - 30g protein per bottle & 120 calories - also high in B vitamins (esp B12) - comes in a few good flavors
EAS AdvantEdge - 17g protein per serving & 110 calories - i prefer Cafe' Caramel
Foods
Supreme Protein Bars - 15g per bar - rocky road is delish - 200 cal, 9g fat, total carb 17g
These are some of the supplements I have used and will continue to use due to being a bariatric patient. My body has a higher than normal malabsorption rate so my protein intake has to be supp'd and at the same time limit caloric and sugar intake. A complicated dance indeed.
So... if you're looking for something different... here ya go.. and as an added bonus... they are really good!!
