OK, I am stocking up as I have surgery on the 8th and I know without proper protein, hair can fall out, muscle can be lost, etc. I have two that I love and are fairly high in protein. First, I have enjoyed PURE PROTEIN shakes for weeks now, supplementing an occasional meal when on the go with a frosty, tasty "treat." They come in a 12 0z can, so it is grab n go! The product offers 35 grams of protein and is very low in digestible carbs (1-4). The strawberry is my least favorite; the chocolate tastes similar to a frozen hot chocolate; the banana is tasty and the cookies and cream is like melted ice cream!!! It is my favorite! None of them have the chalky texture or "health food taste" that similar products do. Now, I just tried GNC's AMP whey protein shake, vanilla. It is a powder you mix w water or milk. It goes down smoothly, even more so than the PURE PROTEIN and carried a whopping 60 grams of quick absorbing protein. It can be enhanced with blended fruit or those sugar free coffee syrups they sell by the bottle in Marshall's and such places. Tasty and very liquidy, which I imagine is an asset when you cannot swallow well for the first few days. Next up is another GNC offering, ISOPURE which boasts 80 grams of protein. Will let ya know.
