Does Anybody Drink Protein Drinks?

[RedSky4u]

I can not drink anything with sweetener other than sugar. I can not tolerate the artificial sweeteners in anything. I have tried several.
The one I have tried recently (Core Power Protein Shakes) is not tasting good to me. So I will just give up on that ideal for now. I was hoping to find one that worked as a meal replacement.

When I was into the weight lifting craziness, I mixed the horrible-tasting powdered supplements of the day (early 1970s) with water. Doc told me to stop such nonsense and obtain protein from meats, dairy, and fish.

For vegans, I also believe that complete protein can be obtained from combining foods, such as rice and beans.

Excess protein is hard on the kidneys.

My son drinks Muscle Milk and researching Premier, I told him to try that instead. He'll think about it. What more could a mother ask?

The Premier banana flavor tastes like a banana shake, which is fine with me!

I usually prefer protein bars like No Cow because they offer more fiber and less sugar than shakes, but for anyone who prefers a plant-based protein shake we like the taste of Plant Fusion in creamy vanilla bean flavor. 20g protein, 160 calories, 6g total sugars. No soy, no gluten, no dairy.

I like the Boost Glucose, being pre-diabetic. Almost as much protein and much less sugar. Tends to be thick (like a milkshake).

I have it in the mornings mixed with 6 oz strong black coffee for a pseudo-mocha. I take half my vitamins and a prescriptive in the morning, and find I can't take them on an empty stomach, LOL. Washing them down with the "mocha" works much better for me.

I often have Boost, Ensure or Premier drinks (whatever is on sale) as it satisfies me whenever I crave something sweet in the evenings. After one of those I won't be hungry again until breakfast time.

I love the Boost Protein Drinks and agree they are satisfying, and they are also very nutritious!
