I figure it might be useful to have a Topic for people to post special pricing or sample packs they have run across or ordered.
I'll start:
About Time protein has a $4.99 delivered (to the US) price for two flavors of their protein powders. Not the best price in the world, but a chance to taste some different flavors
http://tryabouttime.com/shop/trial-pack/
Syntrax Nectars has a 15 pack sampler for $16.99 delivered (to the US). I have heard so much about these. that it was a good chance to try all of their flavors. It is their monthly special and only one per customer.

Post more if you got 'em! happy

If you want to get the Max Protein powder from SEI Pharacuticals I have a coupon code for 20% off. It's the only protein my wife and I use!

Scratch that. Just got a heads-up from a friend about a bundle of 12 boxes of 15g protein bars from BariatricChoice.com
http://www.bariatricchoice.com/wonderslim-15g-protein-bars-bundle-12.html
Looks pretty good, especially if you'd rather do bars than shakes...

12 boxes?!? I hope you know you like the brand/flavor before you buy them.0
-
Ah, sorry for the lack of clarification...
You can mix and match the 12 boxes. You don't just get a single flavor.
I - for example -- used 8 box choices for their "crispy" (more granola-like) bars because I like them FAR more than I do the "mushy chocolate" types. All I know is that as soon as cleared, and as God is my witness, NO MORE SHAKES EVAH!!!!0 -
Unjury protein powder has a sample pack: http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/unjury-protein/unjury-starter-pack/unjury-starter-kit.html0

Shakes are too bad. I actually enjoyed them and made one for breakfast for a long time. I'd do either strawberry banana or chocolate PB. They are easy to embellish by putting in frozen bananas or strawberries, or even stuff like PB2. Bluepoint has even recommended things like this! They recommend jazzing them up. So I'd make a double in the morning, and drink it over an hour or so.0 -
anyone have any updates for specials or sales on protein?0

Found this site that has many, many brands as samples. Sale right now for $1.95 each.

I have always purchase my protein through GNC. I get the gold card memebership card that gives you 20% off. GNC usually runs a special every other month, buy one get one free. That packaged with the discount is a great deal. Also if you dont like the flavor, bring it back they will exchange it. My favorite brand is the Wheybolic Extreme 60, the chocolate is my favorite, but if you like that fake candy banana flavor, the banana is good. Vanilla tastes like cake batter, but works great with a fruit smoothie.0

GNC sells isopure, which has a clear, sugar free, high protein Gatorade-like drink. a 20 oz bottle has 40 grams protein, and half of it can be used as 1 serving. so, 1.5 bottles is 60 grams total protein, which for me is about what i need in one day.
they come in a lot of flavors and are really good, not chalky at all.
they aren't currently on sale, but if you buy the $9 GNC membership card, you will get $11 off per case of 12 every time you shop there for the next year.
it is still a little pricey, but post-surgery, i like these so much better than the milky kind of shake.0 -

I agree, Isopure is a great option. My wife did find it to be chalky, but I never had a problem with it. Our surgeon also said it was a good presurgery drink.
If you try the chocolate wheybolic, 1/4 milk to 3/4 Ice cold water and it tastes very similar to a Yoohoo.

Thanks everyone! I know not to stock up this close to surgery so samples are a great idea for after surgery!0

I 2nd that! I was so excited about finishing my shake stage that I actually celebrated with a fist bump in front of a group of friends. I hope your journey is going well.0 -
Bj's Bariatric also has a sale on Syntrax Nectar! You get to pick 11 flavors for $14.95 and if you use the code FS2014 you get free shipping!!! I have been wanting to try different flavors and this seemed like the perfect way!

Nectar is good stuff if you are looking for something other than chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. I mean, who else makes ice tea, or fruit punch flavored protein?!0
-
I cannot deal with the Nectar flavors, I think I am probably the only one! When I first tried them I liked them, but after that... not so much. Just shows how much your tastes can change after surgery! I just recently tried the Chike coffee and really liked it.0
-
Thanks for the info. Just ordered the nectar sample pack. Have not tried these yet.0
-
Such great info...Ive only bought 2 protein Special K flavors that were on sale (came as pks/sleeves similar to cocoa mix).
Im just now starting to put together some things...Im thinking mine could happen in late july as I just completed all the requirements0 -
my nectar flavors are on their way. I'm excited to try fruity/non-creamy based protein. I have a love hate relationship with protein shakes. I am trying to get back on track with losing and MD suggested 2 protein shakes a day and one sensible dinner with snacks. I'm losing the weight. The shakes are okay. but MAN I miss breakfast and lunch SOOOO much. I'm not hungry. But a egg wrap or tuna pocket sounds so much more delcious than mint chocolte protein shake dujour.0

I cant stand the creamy flavors anymore! Ugh!! I got my sample pack and the first one I tried was the lemon tea, it was good but I did add a squirt of my lipton half tea half lemonade to it and it made it better! Today I had the twisted cherry and again I added a squirt of the mio energy black cherry to it and that made it better! The part of protein drinks I cant stand is the smell. I can normally handle the taste but the smell makes me gag! These still have the protein shake smell but they taste so much better!0 -
Thanks for the link and Free shipping code! I just ordered my first sample set.0

It helps most people if they drink the protein shakes from the shaker bottle or a travel mug. That way the odor is contained. It might help a little.0 -
got my Syntrax Nectar samples. So far I like the flavors very much.0
