So for grins and chuckles my hubby & I decided to do a taste comparison test of a few Protein Drinks. This our personal opinion, listed order of Totally Barffy to yummy!

1. G2 Recover, Chocolate Peanut butter - 270 calories, 20g protein, 46 net carbs
There are no words to describe how disgusting this tasted. I had to rinse my mouth... Total Barf!

2. V8 Protein Shake, Chocolate & Chocolate Raspberry - 200 calories, 12g protein, 31 net carbs.
Chocolate is tolerable, per my hubby, not so in my opinion! Chocolate raspberry (my personal favorite flavor in general) was a Total Barf. Nasty taste and worse aftertaste.

3. Muscle Milk, Chocolate - 230 calories, 25g Protein, 9g net carbs.
Hubby thinks it's OK, but I say Yucky at best. Not so nice aftertaste.

4. EAS Advantage Carb Control, Chocolate & Dark Chocolate - 110 calories, 17g protein, 2 net carbs.
Good flavor! It's not thick or creamy but tastes pretty good! No aftertaste.

5. Core Power Light, Chocolate - 150 calories, 20g protein, 11 net carbs.
A little creamy & a lot yummy! No after taste.

6. Atkins Shake, Dark Chocolate & Milk Chocolate - 160 calories, 15g protein, 2 net carbs.
Yummy! Rich & Creamy. No aftertaste!

So for us, the choice is made based on taste and carbs. Our 2 favorites are Atkins and EAS Carb Control. If I have carbs to spare, I'd grab a Core Power Light.

Whats your favorite (s)?

    Missie, you beat me to it....I had the vanilla and chocolate Pure Protein but vanilla was mild in flavor.
    My husband would say I gravitated to the chocolate more often than not!

    Are Premier Plus or Pure Protein available at places like Meijer or Walmart? I don't remember seeing them there.

    Premier Protein chocolate is the ONLY protein shake I've been able to tolerate the taste of post-op. It also has just about the best protein bang for the calorie buck that I've seen - 30g protein in 160 calories and only 2 net carbs! I absolutely love it as a replacement for coffee creamer in my iced coffee. You can buy it at Walmart, and I've seen it at Kroger, but they're much cheaper at Sam's and Costco.

    Although you can get premier at Sam's Club they don't sell it at Walmart or at least I have never see it there. But so far its my favorite. Especially the vanilla.

    I like premier protein, but post-op it is a little thicker than I prefer so I use a lot of the Syntax Nectar protein powders, they mix with water and are more like a juice so they go down a little easier for me. I like the strawberry kiwi best so far :)

    I've been drinking the EAS myoplex 42g of protein in 17 oz. Have had a hard time getting all my protein in.
