Protein Powder

Kachina624 — Sun, 28 Jul 2024 22:05:20 GMT

I don't know much about various types of protein powder but I need something to add protein to my smoothies. Must taste good.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

@Kachina624 I am by no means an expert, but I use premiere protein (whey powder ) in vanilla and add different frozen fruits and sometimes green powders in it. 2 scoops is 39g protein but I usually use 1 scoop to make it last longer.

It doesn't give a lot of protein but at least its palatable - PB Fit Peanut Butter powder. I can at least get it down. LOL!

To really up my protein, I usually drink a Fairlife shake everyday. They make a few, but I use the one with 30 grams of protein in the bottle. They're pretty good and you can make your smoothies with them.

@Kachina624 I have never found one that doesn't have that weird aftertaste, but the best I did find was one called Milkshake Bar Protein shakes.

There's a new one called Keto Chow that keeps popping up in my Facebook news feed probably because I did a search on it after seeing it used in a protein ice cream recipe for the Ninja Creami Deluxe.

@Linda0215 The chocolate ones are really good and no weird aftertaste.

I have two suggestions for you for protein powder.

Dr. Amy MEYERS Psleoprotein in both vanilla a salted caramel taste good and they are autoimmune protocol approved.

I have never had a problem with anything of hers.

There's also "Just Ingredients" protein and it is delicious, but I found out I have a sensitivity to the ingredient whey and this is the source of their protein.

Just ingredients is flavored pretty strongly with monk fruit...it didn't sit well for me.

Amy MEYERS paleoprotein used to froth up so nice...what a treat, but the formula seems to have changed. It can be added to any liquid, even coffee I believe.

@Kachina624 I use rice protein powder that I bought on Amazon. I was told not to use whey protein as it has lactose and is mostly for body builders. The one I use is unflavored.

@Icegoddess Right? Like drinking chocolate milk. I'm really weird about aftertastes so it's hard to find things I like, but these are a no-brainer.

@LTT1 Thank you. I'll check Dr. Amy out. I'm very, very, very sensitive to monk fruit and stevia. If i can taste it, I won't drink it. The Fairlife must have minimal in them because I really can't taste it. It's hard to find palatable protein items out there. Most of them make me gag. LOL!

I use one from Orgain. Have for several years. Can get it on AMZ. Comes in many flavors and a sugar free one. I use the vanilla and the unflavored but have the chai flavor too. It says to use 2 scoops but I only need. No funky taste eithr.

I like Andrew Lessman's on HSN. I usually get vanilla so I can flavor it at my whim.

It comes in theusual strawberry, vanilla and chocolate; and also, peanut butter, coffee and a mixed fruit(I think).

Plus HSN's policies are inlin with QVC's: if you don't like it you can return it.

I recommend Premiere Protein vanilla protein powder as well. I usually drink the ready to drink vanilla ones but add 1/2 a frozen banana or a frozen berry blend and whip it up in my trusty little Magic Bullet. the frozen fruit makes my morning milkshake. Keeps you full for hours any time you drink it.

@Trailrun23 I drink that one as well (premier protien from WalMart). At least 1 day a week I drink one with added fruit in place of dinner, sometimes I add a scoop of the powder (which to me has a funky taste on its own)...especially if I am hungrier than usual.

a lot of them have soy I don't care for the aftertaste

and Stevia which is so gross to me

Vega Protein tastes good

@Rose429. I've been drinking Premier drinks for a long time but they become very expensive. Never tried the powder. Thanks.

Protein supplements are important but I got tired of the powders and most had a chalky after taste.

I now drink a Premier Protein shake every day ... 30 mg and I like the various flavors.

Kachina624 — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 00:35:03 GMT

@Trailrun23. That's a good idea to get that banana down that I must eat every day for potassium. I get sick of them. Thanks.

Thanks everyone, this is a good start.

@Kachina624 Avacodos, Guava and Kiwis have more potassium than bananas.

You can always change out your fruit.
