Suggestions wanted please - for the tastiest, high protein, build-up drinks, juices and shakes that are not too sweet

My husband has needed to stabilise weight post surgery but couldn’t tolerate the sugar levels in the shakes etc. We are using HUEL meal replacement drinks, vanilla at the moment  ….. they are large so he has one across the day. 400 calories I think but low sugar. Might help

Hi

Dad was suggested these through the hospital - they come in lots of different flavours. 
You can order them on amazon or online pharamcy.

I agree HUEL  (HUman fuEL) drinks are very palatable. I drank these when my oesophagus was inflamed from radiotherapy. I did not even try the formulations given to me by a dietician. 

Hi, I used to make my husband a juice every day from a full head of broccoli, a large orange and a large carrot. He had this before, during & after chemo and it’s not sweet but full of goodness and anti carcinogens. He really didn’t like the drinks provided by the hospital and only drank them occasionally.

Oranges are extremely acidic though 

I saw an article in the newspaper about a lady who made the juice for her husband and it really helped him so I decided to give it a try (bear in mind this was in 2008 and the prognosis was bleak) - I think a lot of things are about balance.  The orange could hardly be tasted, it just helped to counteract the broccoli, the overall taste was ok! I do agree about the acidity and always looked for the sweetest oranges. 

Hi Nenen

To get my husbands weight back up and stabilise I had two smoothies. 
I used 200mls of milk or ensure, for the chocolate version I used a scoop or musashi protein choc powder, a teaspoon of olive oil, chocolate topping, a scoop of vanilla sustagen, ice. 
for the berry version is used vanilla protein powder instead and a few handfuls of mixed frozen berries, ice. 
sometimes using yoghurt and or ice cream to keep things different. Added a little choc powder or caramel topping and cream on top to disguise the ensure taste as he got sick of it. 
These both have +/- 50 grams of protein 2600 kilojoules plus vitamins and minerals. I put a couple of prunes in if needed. 
All blended up of course. 

I used Bovril, beef drink and a daily juice (2 carrots, 2 small beetroots, 1 apple and 1 orange)

I have to admit, I got sick of them both, however that was after 8 rounds of chemo and surgery.

I also tried Horlicks, but I didn't like it.

Hope this helps.
