The Suzanne Somers Protein Powder

Puzzle Piece — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:28:53 GMT

Has anyone purchased her protein powders? Not necessarily for weight loss but for health and beauty results. She makes an interesting green drink with the protein powder when she is on MSNBC with kale, avocado, and other ingredients. I would like to know if anyone has noticed any 'beauty' results like nice skin tone, complexion, hair growth improvement, etc.

Why not blend up a drink yourself with fresh ingredients that she mentions?

I have never gotten a product from her that I didn't return!

SS is a quack who presents 'medical' advice w no credentials....she has also had quite a bit done to her face and claims her look ( which is pretty face to me and too much tanner) comes from her products,,,,,Would never buy from her!

It's been years but I used to have her chocolate and coffee flavors. Best tasting protein drinks I've ever had.

Come on now. I just wanted to know if anyone had tried her protein drink and if they noticed any beauty/health results.

I've purchased her early products in beauty, hygiene and they worked fine. I found them a little costly and had to stop.

I didn't know she had a protein powder. I love her cookbooks.

I haven't tried her protein powder. What's in it?

I use hemp powder for protein in my smoothies. It gives them a lovely green color but it doesn't have an overpowering or unpleasant flavor. I prefer it over other protein powders as it is plant based and easier to digest. It is a complete protein as well. Good stuff.

You can buy good protein powder anywhere. Check prices first. I buy it at Trader Joe's.

I like TJs too.

It's very affordable also.

I bought her Protein shakes about 2 months ago and did not like them at all! Had to return them all. There is something that is added that makes it taste funny. I drink Isagenix shakes and they are way better. I love Suzanne and really wanted to like the protein shakes but couldn't.

I don't know what they added but it has a taste like they want it to taste like ice cream but it misses the mark. Very funky.

I am new to protein powder and picked up Jay Robb whey protein at Krogers the other day. I looked it up on my phone before buying on Amazon to see how others liked it as I had heard that protein powder can be hit or miss. $22.00 for 11 servings was a lot for something I may not like.

http://www.amazon.com/Jay-Robb-Enterprises-Vanilla-powder/dp/B00CBYI51Y/ref=sr_1_1/191-1502846-6074244?ie=UTF8&qid=1424950220&sr=8-1&keywords=%22jay+robb%22

After reading the reviews while at the store I decided to give the vanilla a try and purchased it. I also bought some Silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk to mix this powder with.

Love this! I am now drinking while walking during lunch. I like the taste and also I was surprised that by drinking instead of eating food, am experiencing no afternoon highs and lows and am still full until dinner time. I will buy the huge 80oz package from Amazon next time which will bring down the serving price dramatically.

First not what OP wanted to know! Also, your skewed opinion is merely based on your obvious dislike of her for whatever reasons you have!! Check the facts. Anything she touts is based on much extensive research with renowned doctors all over the world - not just something she makes up like you have!!!

I don't use hers because they contain egg. Vegetarian here.

I'm surprised she drinks them on air (chugging one after the next!) because she constantly complains she can't eat eggs (food allergy).

I'm also surprised they aren't made with organic ingredients.

I drink Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein Powder. I add about 4 heaping tablespoons to 6-8 oz of unsweetened almond milk and add a few taps of cinnamon.

It's a great source of protein. It's a sludgy drink though. But I've grown to like it a lot and look forward to my glass after my workout.

Thanks Esmeralda, Lucky Charm - I didn't know about the egg but I do recall eggs were not something she can have much.

I will look into both your suggestions. I bought a can of Garden of Life Raw Protein Drink - Vanilla. I can do protein but anything with carbs/starches don't do well with me. Claims to be Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Soy Free. I think all of us are designed differently so we just need to find something that works.

Pook, it's alright, I kind of knew someone would object to anything mentioned about Suzanne. But I honestly had good results from her early grooming and beauty products. Enough so that I would try other things she promotes. I even own a nice black dress of hers when she had her clothing line on hsn.

Premier Protein shakes are low sugar and 30g of protein.....I buy mine at Costco and they taste great with or without adding fruit to them.....DH's cardiologist recommended them. I buy vanilla but they have choc and strawberry too.....not a fan of protein powders as I can get more protein in one of these.

Thanks Lovesrecess. We are Costco members and I will check out your recommendation.
