8 weeks out! Neet help with Protein Shakes!

Tamipopek

Hello All!
I am so glad that I found this group! I am 8 weeks out and doing fairly well, I still have a few little issues hear and there. One problem I am having is finding a protein shake that I can get down every day. I find that so many of them cause nausea, does this last awhile?

Isopure Dutch Chocolate - has 50 grams of protein and I can stomach it and not much else.

Premier protein shakes,160 cals, 30 G protein and a thin consistency that does not nauseate me. Very low sugar, 1 g I think. Make sure your shake does not have more than 6 g of sugar or you will probably get nausea. I bought a meal replacement shake instead of a protein shake once and I was very ill from the sugar. Honestly, I will still get occasional nausea, but for me it is usually going too long without food/water or eating too fast.

I swear by Syntrax Nectar. Vanilla Bean Torte is my favourite mixed with ice and unsweetened vanilla almond milk but I like Roadside Lemonade as welll.

If you don't want to have sweetners you should try About Time brand of protein powders. They are sweetened with all natural Stevia. They don't taste as great as Syntrax but I like to use them too to keep my sweetners in check.

In Canada, you'll have to order them online as I haven't found them at any health stores. In the US I imagine they are more readily available.

I also drink Premier Chocolate from Costco when I need something quick and easy. I don't mind it as long as it is REALLY cold. Pour it over ice and let it sit a bit and then I like it even better.

Good luck finding one you like.

I also use the nectar brand Vanilla is my favorite as it is easy to change the flavor. For a long time I only drank it with water but now use almond milk good luck!

Syntrax nectar chocolate truffle is my favorite. Tastes just like chocolate milk. Each scoop is 23g of protein then add the milk protein it's 30g a cup.

I also use Nectar chocolate truffle I am 8 weeks out too and was getting tired of drinking it with milk only, now I use a cup of fat free milk, a cup of hot coffee and the protein it gives a different not so sweet flavor and I also put some powder cinnamon on top to help my metabolism. I have it every morning is like having my coffee.

I love the Six Star Elite Series Whey Protein Powder in Decadent Chocolate. For shakes I use 8 ounces milk, and to make ice-cream type of consistency use 4-5 ounces of skim milk. I also take Dannon 2x Greek Protein vanilla yogurt or Yoplait Lite 2x protein and 1/2 cup frozen fruit and blend into a smoothie and freeze. Add a little juice/water to help it blend better. I also freeze or semi-freeze my individual yogurt products. If any of these get to frozen, pop them into the microwave for a few second until desired consistency. All of this I can get a my grocery store (Meijer).

Today my Unjury Protein Shake Powder arrived and I'm going to try it later. A lot of individuals have told me they love the taste. I'll see how I like it in a little while. Check out the Unjury.com website to see a list of their products and actual label of ingredients of each.

I hope your nausea goes away soon. Knock on wood, thus far I've only had one episode and that's because I ate something I shouldn't have too fast.

Syntrax Nectar is my favorite. I love the caribbean cooler, strawberry kiwi, and grape. I don't drink milk and these mix well with water.

I bought some of the Syntrax Nectar but my tastes changed and now I am not liking it so much :grumble: I did try a different brand recently called Cellucor, and I love it. I got the Cinnamon Swirl and Peanut Butter Marshmallow. I mix them with almond milk, and it tastes sooo good!
