Most protein bars are closer to candy bars than nutritional and healthy. Every time I've bought protein bars, even low cal ones, my weight loss stalled. My advice is to avoid all of them. And they don't even have as much protein as these shakes.
Just started Tirzepatide and wanted to find You Tube companions. Have tried many channels but settled on the two of you. Excellent content. Pleasant presentation. Very likeable hosts! ❤️
I'm a fan of the GNC Lean Shake Girl Scout Thin Mint. It tastes like the cookie! Also love premier protein chocolate peanut butter. Thanks for this taste test.
Happy to see your protein drink testing. I have been drinking protein drinks for 10 years. I used to drink the Premier Protein for years but it has a lot of ingredients that are hard to pronounce and lots of them. I switched to Fairlife protein drinks and the Core Power by Fairlife because it has clean ingredients and it is Filtered milk which takes the lactose out and therefore is for people who are lactose intolerant. Great flavor for the Fairlife products. ❤
For years I did Adkins 15 gram DARK chocolate, but now on Zepbound since August I do the Premier Protein in Banana Cream. I’ve tried other flavors, but the banana has me hooked!
Thanks for this! I have a hard time getting my protein since I’m such a picky eater! I’ve tried a lot of drinks that was just gross! But because you guys liked it I tried the fair life core 26 grams and it is delicious! Thanks again for all you do , I love watching you 2 !❤
thank you for this protein review, I was wondering about the own I wanted to get it too because of its good ingredients but you do want to enjoy your shake because it may be your meal for the morning.
Sams Club has the Premier Protein shakes on sale for $23 for 15 of them! The 13 pack Built Bars are on sale for $16! The OWYN Protein shakes are on sale for $16 for an 18 pack! The Quest chips are on sale for $20 for 14 packs! They have other protein shakes and snacks on sale too but I just can't remember them all! And Publix has the Quest Protein bars on BOGO right now! So that makes them 2 for $2.79! I'm not sure how long the sale is going on at Sam's but these sale prices are the lowest I have found anywhere! Publix sale goes off on Tues! I just got a large order from Sam's so u better hurry if u like saving money like I do! I hope this helps someone who is looking for some great deals! ❤
Great show! I have several cases of Core Power 26 in my kitchen. My husby and i both drink them every day. Guilt free great tasting chocolate milk. I have been buying on Amazon and direct from Fairlife.
OMG Thank you so much for this review!! I have struggled with so many "gross" protein drinks but I tried the Fairlife you recommended and you are right - it tastes just like chocolate milk. I see that Costco has a Fairlife Nutrition Plan, 30g Chocolate Protein Shake. I hesitate trying it since it's so different (lower sugar & carbs, higher protein). It would be great if you reviewed that one as part of your next review. I would love to reduce sugar and carb count but I am afraid it won't taste nearly as good as the 26g protein. You two are so inspiring and informative (and both look fantastic)! Thank you for your videos!!
Thanks for the great review! Hubby & I agree with Christopher about the OWYN…strange taste. We love Fairlife, but once the pandemic hit, we could only find chocolate. We used to get vanilla, caramel and strawberry. We tend to get Premier Protein from Sam’s. We especially love the Winter Mint and Salted Caramel Popcorn.
Hey, Mikey! 🤭 I Like/Remember that. I would agree with your taste buds. The OWN was an odd after taste for sure. The 2 Core Fairlife are my personal favorites. I never got into the Premier Protein. Somebody suggested using the core fair life in your ninja to make ice cream!! oh that sounds so delicious!!
@@irish80122 I also agree that it’s annoying! Although, I wonder if it’s because you can buy these shakes single serve, and this packaging makes them tamper evident?
Fairlife makes a third line of shakes called Nutrition Plan that have 30 grams of protein and 170 calories, and have added vitamins which are more of a direct competitor to the Premier Protein type shakes. More affordable and available at Costco. They're not quite as tasty in my opinion though.
I use the premier and the equate from Walmart, and they help greatly to make the daily protein goal. I like the real food protein as Chris does, and include meat/seafood/ chicken to attain it, but sometimes need the last push to the 100g I need per day. Tried the fairlife 26 you show and tastes great, but consume less of it because of price
This is wonderful! I always wished I knew what was better! I like two flavors of Premier ONLY. Chocolate and the Latte Coffee. I have not tried the Quest, but now I will so thank you. I have heard super good things about Core Power by Fairlife, but it's really expensive. Thank you so much for this video. You sure have helped me. To me, the Premier chocolate and Latte taste yummy...like I remember milkshakes taste.
Nurri shakes are new to me, I just picked them up at Costco - lactose free. I enjoyed the chocolate and so did my husband who has a hard time with most of the shakes. I am also partial to Atkins shakes. I have bought them since before taking Tirzepatide.
Fairlife makes another one that’s 30 g of protein. It’s not part of the core power series. It’s in a white bottle. I know you can get it at Costco and Sam’s Club. I’m not sure where else. It’s got a little bit less calories and tastes pretty good. I’m a fair life core power 26 g of protein person pretty much on a daily basis. I’ve had the 42 g protein one., but It’s a little off for me, but I can do it.
I love the Fairlife 42 gram protein! Most of the time, I take a sip (to make room! Ha!) then add a Javy decaf cold brew coffee pod & shake up. So good! I start almost every day this way so that I get enough protein. I always have dinner with about 40 grams of protein and then later a greek yogurt as a snack. 💙
Awesome. I've been drinking Fairlife on occasion and wS thinking about trying some others but now am just going to stick with what works. Also I have an idea for a video if you guys don't mind taking us with you down the store aisles
I absolutely love the fair life, core power! I use both of vanilla and the chocolate alternating weeks or every four days in my coffee every single morning! Helps me to get a small amount of protein and a tiny bit of fiber. Far far better than the coffee mate creamer I was using!!!!!! I do not own one, but I have also seen where people use them to make their ninja creamy ice creams! A super high protein, yummy dessert! Another great bonus about all the fair life products is that they are lactose free since they are ultra filtered!! Easy on the tummy 😊
I blend 2 scoops of Owyn powder (20g) with my premier shake adding 1/2 cup water & ice, to start my day. To save $$ I'm now buying the equate brand (walmart) tastes like premier to me. Ultimately, I'm not going to complain about the flavor, if its doing so much for me.
For Christopher you guys should review the Tuna Creations packets! They are a good quick snack to keep on hand that isn't a drink. If you like tuna of course. There are a few chicken flavors also.
@@christineprescott2417 I like this idea. Can I ask what version of the psyllium husks you use. I’m trying to up my fiber intake. But some types have artificial sweeteners my gut doesn’t like. So mixing it with a protein shake I can tolerate is a great idea! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
@RedLion-4 I use Jiva organics psyllium husk fiber. It is fine ground and unflavored, non gmo and keto friendly. It has helped me a lot. I blend it into my shake each morning.
Great reviews. I’m kind of milk averse, so I rarely drink protein shakes. When I must, I prefer the Fairlife ones, and since they’re filtered, there’s no lactose, which is kinder to my tummy. My husband likes Shamrock Farms Rockin’ Protein, but they have a few more carbs than I want. We’re lucky that he works at Target and not only does he get a 20% employee discount, but he also gets 10% extra off “health” items. That means we can almost afford that 42g Fairlife! 🤣
I like Fairlife protein shakes, 26 gr or 30gr of protein Chocolate flavor by itself , Fairlife 26 gr of protein Vainilla flavor with 2oz of expreso coffee , but my favorite Fairlife flavor is Strawberry Banana 26 Gr of protein 😋
Do you like boost? I drink that a lot since its easy to get delivery from Walmart! With the Quest chips I think they are "eh" except the BBQ ones those ones taste like normal bbq chips to me which is awesome
Core Power, chocolate flavor, is my favorite. But I like Premier Protein in my coffee. And Built Puff for protein bars. 😊 Thanks for the heads-up on the other😅.
Owyn is my favorite because it doesn't contain dairy. However, my preferred flavors are coffee- caramel macchiato and mocha, each at 20g protein. They DO NOT mix well as a creamer and best if very cold not frozen.
Hey, I see a south carolina cup! I'm a carolina girl. I'm about to have my 4th zepbond injection in a couple of days. I've lost 17lbs. I drink the premier drinks for the 30 protein and just 160 calories and 1gm sugar. I just found your channel.
I bought a couple of cases of each Fairlife flavor (42 and 26), this summer when I started GLP-1 injections…..just before Amazon raised the prices. You should have tried the strawberry Fairlife, too, delicious! I took them off of my auto ship once the price went up. Back to Priemier I go.
Most of the shakes sadly have Sucralose, a fake sweetener which triggers migraines/auras - so I have only found Orgain 30g chocolate that I can have. Thank goodness they are so good. 🦋Great info here though!
I am addicted to the Fairlife Nutrition shakes and Core Power! Nothing compares to those, and they are lactose free. 3rd choice if I'm out and $ Gen. sells is the Shamrock Rockin Protein shakes. I can tolerate Premier but am not happy lol. The worse is Muscle Milk, Splenda, and I don't care for Quest.
I have tried quite a few different protein drinks and powders. I have kinda settled on Isopure's Dunkin Mocha Latte powder 25g mixed with Fairlife fat free milk for a total of 38g protein in each drink I mix and Atkins Strong Chocolate Protein 30g with probiotics.
Hi! I prefer to get my protein from food, but often that is hard to do on a daily basis, so I have tried the Chobani protein drink, which turned out to be too " gloppy" for me, like some store bought egg nogs. I do, however, like their all natural Greek yogurt and coffee creamers. So, when I do need more protein, I use the Premier Protein powder in my coffee. I am hesitant to try the Premier Protein drink, but maybe now I will. Thanks for the info!
Now I must say that core elite keeps me full for hours so that’s my favorite one to drink 42 g of protein a total meal replacement. I’ll typically drink it after working out or if I’m in a pinch and I’m just hungry.
Thanks for the video! I need to up my protein so these shakes would help. I’d rather eat my calories but it’s a trade off. For protein powder, Prime Protein is the best…made from beef, not whey. And, it’s pretty clean.
Wish I could try these but I’m allergic hives to casein & whey :(. Garden of Life powder so far is about the best for me. I don’t like a lot of stevia/sweetener and they are not so sweet. Good luck everyone!
I've taken a different approach -- Chobani 30g protein yogurt drinks. It's actually food. It has 0 sugar and all natural ingredients. It's not a meal replacement in my routine. Instead, because I'm new to semaglutide jabs, my hunger isn't suppressed, and I get slightly hungry between meals. I sip a bit of this rather than drink a whole bottle or I may eat a big spoonful of plain cultured cottage cheese followed by a huge slug of water. Either holds me over and I'm not drinking a chemical brew. Still, thanks for the review. If I went with one of these, it would probably be from Fairlife although it doesn't seem to be in my local store.
I love Keto Chow, specifically, Chocolate Toffee and Caramel Macchiato. The Fairlife is good. I gave my daughter the last case I bought. It raises my glucose. I use heavy whipping cream, and Kroger Carbmaster Non-fat Low Carb Milk to mix with Keto Chow.
I always make sure my shakes don’t have Carrageenan…it’s used as a filler/thickener from red seaweed. Some evidence suggests it triggers inflammation and damages digestive system. It’s also been linked to colon cancer, and definitely not good for acne.
Atkins Chai Latte is my favorite. I drink it warm with a splash of chocolate protein, Fairlife or Premier. Also Ali at Fit Flavor Fun put me on Oath protein. Delicious clear beverage when you don't want anything creamy.
I really like the quest salted carmel, put it in my coffee. I also really like and drink as a snack the Oath clear protein, the frosty lemon, put it in my 40 ounce Stanley cup.
I really like Naked Nutrition. Right now I’m working on a big jug of Naked Shake Chocolate Coconut Almond. I mix a scoop with Silk Almond Milk Unsweetened) and it’s delicious! Naked uses very few ingredients and they are third party tested. I also use their pea protein powder. I like knowing what I’m eating and I don’t like preservatives and strange sweeteners.
I love the Fairlife shakes. I drink the 42g ones, 1-2 per day. I buy them by the case at Sam’s. Cheaper that way but still pricey. I’m ok with the price though as I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Also you could always buy them in the airport after security. I have done that several times now.
When I gained extra weight the last few years I got bad heartburn. When I started compound Tirzepatide in late July 2024 I was trying to drink all the water suggested and I was adding lemon and lime juice to flavor it and my heartburn got worse from the citrus acid. I should have realized it but I decide to quit drinking coffee to see if that would help[. After a couple months I did figure it out and my heartburn got much better. I decided not to go back to coffee except once in while when craving it. To get my protein I remember something I did on Keto and started drinking Chicken Bone Broth in place of the coffee as I enjoy the warm drink more than the actual coffee. When I was drinking it on Keto I added butter and heavy whipping cream (no sugar and only 1 carb per tablespoon). Since I don't need the fat I drink about 16 oz of the broth with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Not all bone broth has protein but I use either Kitchen Basics Original Chicken or Kettle & Fire Classic Chicken (one has protein and one doesn't so check the label). Both are approximately 10grams of protein for 8 ounces. I drink it in the morning before I have yogurt or a protein enriched breakfast sandwich. I live in Florida but on a cold day I might have it in the evening too. I can't not stomach protein drinks, I have tried many including protein powders and just can not stand the powdery consistency.
I like one of the Fairlife protein drinks. Fairlife Nutrition Plan. It's chocolate. 30g of protein. 150 calories. 11.5 ounces. I found them at Sam's Club and Costco. I think they're a quick fix of protein in the morning. Much better than going to a fast food place.
Recently, at Costco, I tried a sample of a new protein shake called Nurri. I'm not a fan of protein shakes at all but the Nurri tasted SO good, just like a chocolate shake 😋 Btw, I just read an article today saying that lots of protein powders may contain disturbing levels of lead and cadmium😳
Lactose Introlerant individual. I buy Fairlife Nutrition Plan High Protein Chocolate 30g Shake. These are lactose free and give me no issues. Hope this helps someone! Thanks for sharing these! ~~Sandra
I really enjoy listening to you guys. Chris you are the man. Lorraine your voice often sounds like you have cotton mouth. It takes my attention away from the great topics. Try drinking some water or wetting your mouth before going on. Keep up the great work guys!
These are all gag-level sweet to me. I prefer mixing unsweetened or lightly sweetened protein powder with plain Fairlife milk. Plus, it’s usually a lot cheaper since I’m having one a day.
Having had bariatric surgery in 2012, unless things have changed, the surgeon told me that one can only absorb 30g of protein at a time. I enjoy fairlife, but, not the ones you all sampled.
Owyn is the cleanest one. The rest have sucralose Orgain clean grass fed is pretty decent and iconic ready to drink are the very few I found with monk fruit or stevia that taste good

P.S. Would you pretty please 🙏 do this again with protein BARS?
Most protein bars are closer to candy bars than nutritional and healthy. Every time I've bought protein bars, even low cal ones, my weight loss stalled. My advice is to avoid all of them. And they don't even have as much protein as these shakes.
I do have some favorites in the bars. They are good when I’m craving candy or a treat
Just started Tirzepatide and wanted to find You Tube companions. Have tried many channels but settled on the two of you. Excellent content. Pleasant presentation. Very likeable hosts! ❤️
Welcome aboard!
One of my favorite hacks… Use the core protein 42 in a ninja creami and make yourself ice cream
@pattysouthard Ohhh now that's a really good idea!!
We actually did that with the two fairlife ones and added some sugar free pudding mix- it was tasty
Is that what the creamy is? To make ice creams? I keep hearing you guys being it up!
@ yes! It makes ice cream, Gelato, fruit sherbert and milkshakes. Makes dieting a lot more palatable!
I'm a fan of the GNC Lean Shake Girl Scout Thin Mint. It tastes like the cookie! Also love premier protein chocolate peanut butter. Thanks for this taste test.
Happy to see your protein drink testing. I have been drinking protein drinks for 10 years.

For years I did Adkins 15 gram DARK chocolate, but now on Zepbound since August I do the Premier Protein in Banana Cream. I’ve tried other flavors, but the banana has me hooked!
Thanks for this! I have a hard time getting my protein since I’m such a picky eater! I’ve tried a lot of drinks that was just gross! But because you guys liked it I tried the fair life core 26 grams and it is delicious! Thanks again for all you do , I love watching you 2 !❤

I use the Fairlife Core Power Chocolate and adding about a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of instant coffee really elevates them beyond. SO good!
Thanks for the great review! Hubby & I agree with Christopher about the OWYN…strange taste. We love Fairlife, but once the pandemic hit, we could only find chocolate. We used to get vanilla, caramel and strawberry. We tend to get Premier Protein from Sam’s. We especially love the Winter Mint and Salted Caramel Popcorn.
I drink core power 26 everyday! Love it. After 10 months on Zepbound I’m not tired of it yet! Yummy!!
Hey, Mikey! 🤭 I Like/Remember that.
I would agree with your taste buds. The OWN was an odd after taste for sure. The 2 Core Fairlife are my personal favorites. I never got into the Premier Protein.
Somebody suggested using the core fair life in your ninja to make ice cream!! oh that sounds so delicious!!
Ugh I am a sucker for snack reviews! Great video! Premier and Fairlife Nutrition are standbys for me. I also like Pure Protein.
Thank you 👍😋 We love the regular Fairlife Chocolate protein shakes -30 grams protein ❤️
Thank you for doing this. I have been comparing them myself, so this helps me.
Have y’all tried clear protein? Like Oath? Powdered and then you can just add water. May be good for traveling and changing up flavor profiles.
Haven’t tried that one
I agree 100% with being annoyed with the plastic you have to remove to open some of them!
@@irish80122 I also agree that it’s annoying! Although, I wonder if it’s because you can buy these shakes single serve, and this packaging makes them tamper evident?
I heat them up for hot chocolate too! A little cinnamon and touch of whipped cream. Yum. Dessert
That sounds delicious… will have to try 🥰
Great job! I recommend you separate them out in front of you for a good side and the not so good side

I’m looking for one that’s non-dairy because I can’t eat dairy. I tried Own and it tasted terrible. Any suggestions?
Sorry I don’t. There must be others though
Hi, the best I found that taste great and has wonderful lite taste, but drinking it throughout the day helps me to reach my protein goals.
I like Atkins Strong. It has 30 g of protein they hv chocolate peanut butter tht is so yummy and vanilla
What a fun video! I also add my chocolate protein shake to my coffee. I use Fairlife 30g protein shake. I don’t think it is called core power. 🤷♀️
I like Orgain protein plant based drinks, also I enjoy Nurri protein drinks.
I like the core drinks also premier drinks. Please do a test on protein bars.
I absolutely love the fair life, core power! I use both of vanilla and the chocolate alternating weeks or every four days in my coffee every single morning! Helps me to get a small amount of protein and a tiny bit of fiber. Far far better than the coffee mate creamer I was using!!!!!!

For Christopher you guys should review the Tuna Creations packets! They are a good quick snack to keep on hand that isn't a drink. If you like tuna of course. There are a few chicken flavors also.
CD: it’s going to be a hard pass for me on packs of tuna - but Laraine loves them
@thedownsized 🤣🦞🐟
CD: Love seafood just not tuna from a pack or can
Thanks for this episode! How about a protein powder review?
CD: That is on the list as well, it similar to the drinks I dont use them and Laraine does.
What will you guys do when they stop offering trizepitide compound after March ?
CD: Mochi believes they have a way to work within the FDA regulations to keep operating. It will simply shift into another round of lawsuits
Can you also include how much sugar is in each product?
This was fun. Please do Quest protein bars or the best tasting low- carb protein bar that's out there. That would be appreciated.❤
I generally like the Quest bars. They are 💵💵💵 though.
thanks, and the Sodium ??? I use one that only has 75 mg / serving
Sodium is a funny thing - for years it was the devil. Now people pay extra for it in electrolytes
@@thedownsized I know but my body do not tolerate it !!everyone is different!!🤷♀
Great video!! I do love me some muscle milk (low cal) and have used your idea to add protein to my coffee!
Wonderful!
Protein shakes are a great way to get your fiber if you blend it with Psyllium Husk fiber. Good start to my day.

I prefer to get my protein from food, but often that is hard to do on a daily basis, so I have tried the Chobani protein drink, which turned out to be too " gloppy" for me, like some store bought egg nogs. I do, however, like their all natural Greek yogurt and coffee creamers. So, when I do need more protein, I use the Premier Protein powder in my coffee. I am hesitant to try the Premier Protein drink, but maybe now I will. Thanks for the info!
Protein powder in my coffee never mixes completely. That’s why I use the ready to drink shakes.
Now I must say that core elite keeps me full for hours so that’s my favorite one to drink 42 g of protein a total meal replacement. I’ll typically drink it after working out or if I’m in a pinch and I’m just hungry.
I’m dairy free. OWYN is my go to.
That vote 42 chocolate is everything 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the video! I need to up my protein so these shakes would help. I’d rather eat my calories but it’s a trade off. For protein powder, Prime Protein is the best…made from beef, not whey. And, it’s pretty clean.
Wish I could try these but I’m allergic hives to casein & whey :(. Garden of Life powder so far is about the best for me. I don’t like a lot of stevia/sweetener and they are not so sweet. Good luck everyone!
I've taken a different approach -- Chobani 30g protein yogurt drinks. It's actually food. It has 0 sugar and all natural ingredients. It's not a meal replacement in my routine. Instead, because I'm new to semaglutide jabs, my hunger isn't suppressed, and I get slightly hungry between meals. I sip a bit of this rather than drink a whole bottle or I may eat a big spoonful of plain cultured cottage cheese followed by a huge slug of water. Either holds me over and I'm not drinking a chemical brew. Still, thanks for the review. If I went with one of these, it would probably be from Fairlife although it doesn't seem to be in my local store.
CD: it is pretty common for folks to use a combination of products - which is why both protein drink and yogurt sales are at record highs
Muscle Milk also makes a plant based version. It's not bad blended with frozen banana into a milkshake.
Test protein bars! I eat Pure Protein as my favorite so far
I love Keto Chow, specifically, Chocolate Toffee and Caramel Macchiato. The Fairlife is good. I gave my daughter the last case I bought. It raises my glucose. I use heavy whipping cream, and Kroger Carbmaster Non-fat Low Carb Milk to mix with Keto Chow.
I always make sure my shakes don’t have Carrageenan…it’s used as a filler/thickener from red seaweed. Some evidence suggests it triggers inflammation and damages digestive system. It’s also been linked to colon cancer, and definitely not good for acne.
Agree! Some of the protein shakes wreck me with pain the next day. My arthritis flares up.
Atkins Chai Latte is my favorite. I drink it warm with a splash of chocolate protein, Fairlife or Premier. Also Ali at Fit Flavor Fun put me on Oath protein. Delicious clear beverage when you don't want anything creamy.
My favorite is Atkins Plus Creamy Chocolate. 30g protein
Love this video.❤
I use the premier and add collagen to up the protein.
I buy the 30g Fairlife shakes at Sam’s Club. They are $22 for a case of 12, so they are a delicious and affordable option.
They sell the Fairlife shakes at the Charlotte airport. 😊
Fairlife is the best! I have a 42 and a 30 everyday they really help when your suppression is strong. 😊
Sams Club has Premier Protein 15 pk for 26.64. Today is last day on sale for $4 off that price.
I really like the quest salted carmel, put it in my coffee. I also really like and drink as a snack the Oath clear protein, the frosty lemon, put it in my 40 ounce Stanley cup.
Everyone swears by that one. I need to try it, too.
@@MindyMikamitrust me, you won't regret it! Tastes like Chick-fil-A frosty lemonade 🍋, Yummy!!!
I really like Naked Nutrition. Right now I’m working on a big jug of Naked Shake Chocolate Coconut Almond. I mix a scoop with Silk Almond Milk Unsweetened) and it’s delicious! Naked uses very few ingredients and they are third party tested. I also use their pea protein powder. I like knowing what I’m eating and I don’t like preservatives and strange sweeteners.
Core Protein my fav!😊
Fairlife is my favorite, every morning I have a vanilla elite with Nescafé espresso and fairlife fat free milk and frother… protein packed
I love the Fairlife shakes. I drink the 42g ones, 1-2 per day. I buy them by the case at Sam’s. Cheaper that way but still pricey. I’m ok with the price though as I’m a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Also you could always buy them in the airport after security. I have done that several times now.
I order mine at Sam's also.
When I gained extra weight the last few years I got bad heartburn. When I started compound Tirzepatide in late July 2024 I was trying to drink all the water suggested and I was adding lemon and lime juice to flavor it and my heartburn got worse from the citrus acid. I should have realized it but I decide to quit drinking coffee to see if that would help[. After a couple months I did figure it out and my heartburn got much better. I decided not to go back to coffee except once in while when craving it. To get my protein I remember something I did on Keto and started drinking Chicken Bone Broth in place of the coffee as I enjoy the warm drink more than the actual coffee. When I was drinking it on Keto I added butter and heavy whipping cream (no sugar and only 1 carb per tablespoon). Since I don't need the fat I drink about 16 oz of the broth with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Not all bone broth has protein but I use either Kitchen Basics Original Chicken or Kettle & Fire Classic Chicken (one has protein and one doesn't so check the label). Both are approximately 10grams of protein for 8 ounces. I drink it in the morning before I have yogurt or a protein enriched breakfast sandwich. I live in Florida but on a cold day I might have it in the evening too. I can't not stomach protein drinks, I have tried many including protein powders and just can not stand the powdery consistency.
Mocha premium is my favorite. I do not like owyn it is weirdly thick.
I agree with this plastic lid extras, too much to open and get to.
Love Core Protein 42g. Taste the best !!
I like one of the Fairlife protein drinks. Fairlife Nutrition Plan. It's chocolate. 30g of protein. 150 calories. 11.5 ounces. I found them at Sam's Club and Costco. I think they're a quick fix of protein in the morning. Much better than going to a fast food place.
For sure!👍🏻
Recently, at Costco, I tried a sample of a new protein shake called Nurri. I'm not a fan of protein shakes at all but the Nurri tasted SO good, just like a chocolate shake 😋
Btw, I just read an article today saying that lots of protein powders may contain disturbing levels of lead and cadmium😳
Lactose Introlerant individual. I buy Fairlife Nutrition Plan High Protein Chocolate 30g Shake. These are lactose free and give me no issues. Hope this helps someone! Thanks for sharing these! ~~Sandra
I really enjoy listening to you guys. Chris you are the man. Lorraine your voice often sounds like you have cotton mouth. It takes my attention away from the great topics. Try drinking some water or wetting your mouth before going on. Keep up the great work guys!
These are all gag-level sweet to me. I prefer mixing unsweetened or lightly sweetened protein powder with plain Fairlife milk. Plus, it’s usually a lot cheaper since I’m having one a day.
I try to stay away from the ingredient Carageen. Most of those have it
Premier Protien Indulgence White Chocolate Raspberry is new and so good!
@@diannefejarang1885 ooh sounds yummy! Where did you find this?
Having had bariatric surgery in 2012, unless things have changed, the surgeon told me that one can only absorb 30g of protein at a time. I enjoy fairlife, but, not the ones you all sampled.
Interesting! You're correct. I just googled it and it says that you can only absorb 20-25 grams at a sitting.
I think 30 is really the top end, but it depends who you ask. 😎
Owyn is the cleanest one. The rest have sucralose Orgain clean grass fed is pretty decent and iconic ready to drink are the very few I found with monk fruit or stevia that taste good
CD: In this case the Owyn just tastes gross so regardless of what is in it I will not be drinking it again.
Fairlife 42 is best quest chips great and built bars GREAT
I use the Aldi vanilla protein shake the whole thing in my 2 shots of expresso every morning. 30 proteins
