Protein Shake Reviews

Part of my preparation for surgery has been to try out different protein shakes, which will be my primary nutrition in the week before and a couple of weeks after surgery.  I prefer the ready-to-drink type because it is convenient and they tend to be less clumpy.  Whenever I find a winner, I will share it on this blog in case others might want to try it.  One of my current favorite is the store-brand chocolate "Fitness Protein Shake" sold at Giant supermarkets. It's chocolately, thin and smooth, and has no weird aftertaste.  They cost $5.99 for a 4-pack, which is a great price.  I give it 4 out of 5 stars!

Update- I tried the Ensure High Protein Chocolate shake and it is great- I think it is my new favorite. Very smooth and not chalky. The only downside is the price- $9.99 for a 4-pack at Target (and even more at other stores.) 4 out of 5 stars!

I finally found a non-chocolate shake that I light- Muscle Milk Light in Peach Mango!  Fruit flavor is mild but pleasant, shake is thin and smooth, no aftertaste.  I found it on clearance at Vitamin Shoppe for $1.49.  4 out of 5 stars!
