help protein issues
I mixed mine in strong decaf coffee, mixed 50-50 with unflavored. I also used chicken flavored proteins supplement..
But - at 2 months out - you should be able to get a lot of proteins from food..

Unjury chicken soup protein powder is a food option. (the sodium content is pretty high, though.) you can also try adding unflavored (NOT tasteless) protein powder in small amounts to soft foods.
how many protein drinks do you rely on per day? At two months out, if you make a concerted effort you should be able to get the protein you need from food alone if you truly cannot stand any protein supplements.

An alternative to protein drinks? Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, tofu, veggie burgers, meat, poultry, seafood, eggs...

Nectar protein. The chocolates and vanillas ou there were way too sweet for me but some of the Nectars (cherry and grape) are tart enough when mixed with crystal light lemonade.
Everyones tastes are different. I can do coffee or lattes but the second I add a protein powder, it's undrinkable to me. I have isopure Dutch chocolate that I can make into a hot chocolate once in a while.
Good luck!!
My first relevation was to mix unflavoured protein powder with milk and use is as my coffee creamer - that worked awesome and I still enjoy it however I have discovered at 10 months out (yes it took me a long time to think of or try this, not sure why) mixing 1/2 unflavoured with 1/2 flavoured and adding milk really helps with the "too sweet" issue. Sometimes I wonder if my taste bud continue to change and what I like one day, week, month, may not I know most probably don't still drink the protein drink at 10 months out but it is my security blanket. I drink one every morning just as a security/comfort thing to always know I will get in enough protein. Hang in there - taste buds to get better with time.
