Protein Shakes

I drink a product called Raw Protein.  You can buy small packets just to try it without buying a whole container.  I mix milk with it twice a day.  A little grainy but tastes good.  I don't have a pouch any longer but am trying to put on weight and this works well with eating regular meals.  

I have put on 9 pounds in the past three weeks.... Which is way more than I ever expected.  I drank it with the pouch and was not gaining anything.  My normal weight is 175.

After my last hospital stay I was down to 128. Terrible. 

If you are not looking to gain just use water. 

I also get the chocolate flavor.  I have tried other shake samples but this is one I truly like.  The others were well... Ugh! 

Lmk if you try it. 

I don't know where you live but I can get it at a local grocery store otherwise it would have to be bought at a nutritional type store.

Hi, I found making my own to be much better.  A lot of the pre made contain milk which does not work well for me.  

I have used both vegetable based protein and whey based.  I found the vegetable based to be a little more gas producing but overall no issue with either.  I would recommend using rice or almond milk and not cow's milk.  Always use a banana helps bind everything.  

On top of the banana i usually add any combination of berries, peaches, pineapple and mangos. 

It absolutely help me put on weight which I had trouble with after surgery.  

I use BioChem 100% Whey Protein, found at Whole Foods. It was recommended to me by my nutritionist, who likes it for its high protein content (20g per serving). I find the vanilla flavor to be a delicious daily breakfast shake!

Thank you all for your responses. I guess it will be trial and error until I find something that works for me.  Happy Holidays!

Yes... I looked until I found something I liked. 

Of course I started with sample packs from the health store.  The one I went to was more than happy to hand out samples. 

Just a suggestion. 

Good luck.
