LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein Packets Variety Packs (25 Packets X 30ML)

A friend suggested these after I had surgery. The price and reviews had me skeptical but bc I wanted the best recovery possible I decided to try it. The price is worth it, period. The actual flavors aren’t bad at all. It does have a bizarre medicinal flavor that I just can’t describe but it’s really not that bad. I will say that if you’re going to squeeze the packet into your mouth you need to allow the little puff of air out before putting it to your mouth. That air holds the majority of the weird flavor. If you are not used to these types of products please consider mixing it with water or take them every other day and get used to it. It contains collagen which has always made my stomach hurt/gassy. I did not do homework and learned this the hard way. I do not mix it with water but I drink a glass of water afterwards and it works for me. As for post op recovery I will say that I do think it has helped (tendon repair). The numbness, tightness and general pain decreased significantly and the only thing that remotely bothers me is the incision which is normally healing.

This is a great way to get a protein. Good flavors

Edit: I am adding a star after ordering a second package. As awful as these are, they do the job AND price wise, they’re some of the cheapest protein packs you can get. The different ones I wanted to try were nearly 2X the cost, so I’m sticking with these even if they make me gag. HORRIBLE taste and texture. I find putting it on a spoon or cutting the whole top off to take it like a shot is the easiest way to get it down, followed by something less offensive. It’s a really weird and thick consistency and I have to take it in 3-4 goes which makes it harder to take because it is revolting. That being said, it’s definitely helping me feel fuller longer when I take it with my breakfast, so it’s just a trade off of a brief moment of disgust vs if you want the protein. I think I’ll try to find a more watery option.

They don't taste the best but get the job done for protein intake

The sweetness factor is almost not tolerable. Could mix with water. But the packets make it easy to carry in bag and use during day.
