Hilltopmom Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've always preferred not to drink my calories, but do love good home made smoothies. But- I just started a traveling teacher job & dd is a 5 day a week dancer, & we're going to need some protein drinks to have on hand. (We do like the powdered ones,like shakeology, but generic, but want some ready to drink ones right now) Ones that taste good (ok, at least decent), please :) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackermom Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) My vegetarian kid drinks them sometimes. The taste-tested winners that we keep on hand: Boost Simply Complete, Dark Chocolate Boost Original, Vanilla Delight Eta: my kid is also a dancer, with 7 hours of classes and a competition over the next 3 days.

prairiewindmomma Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I REALLY like Premier Protein's shakes. The banana creme one is my favorite. They sell them by the case at Costco and Sam's Club, and they are widely available online. They taste good straight off the shelf or refrigerated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen3kids Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like Komplete from Kate Farms. Me too. I think the chocolate flavour is better than the vanilla or coffee. I also think they are best when very cold. We would freeze them and drink them when partially thawed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like either Premier (thinner, like chocolate milk type texture) or Vega (thicker a bit, more mouthfeel and a different taste). Premier is milk protein and Vega is Pea protein. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 DH likes premier protein, core muscle and orgain organic. Premier protein also has a clear one that the tastes like fruit punch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 We like EAS - the low carb version. But sometimes you get tired of the shake/smoothy idea. Sometimes you don't want people commenting on your drink and discussing your diet as small talk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CJUG5BQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1This is high protein and tastes Gatorade-ish. 20g protein and 2g carbs is pretty awesome numbers. Sometimes I drink as is. Often I will drink half a bottle as a 'meal' and dilute it with equal parts water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Awesome, thanks all! Never occured to me to look at Sam's club, great. will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I am currently working with dietician on a very successful weight loss journey. They always recommend you look,for whey protein isolate in the ingredients as your body readily absorbs all the protein. Core power is a brand they carry in their store. Premier protein doesn't fit their criteria. Disclaimer, I rarely drink my protein. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like the atkins drinks with coffee in them. Because they have coffee in them along with the protein. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like the EAS carb control ones. There are two kinds of chocolate, plus vanilla. Possibly a strawberry but I could be wrong. I don't like the Preimer ones you get at Costco. I think they are way too sweet. Like sickenly sweet. And you would think they were cheaper because it's a big box and Costco, but they actually cost a few cents more than the EAS four packs at Target. I can drink them at room temp, but I like them much better if they are at least a little cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzie in Ma Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It just so happens I can help with this! Youngest will drink these ones, we chose them due to low sugar content, high protein content and taste.
