Hi @patrizio, I take Eliquis (apixaban) 5 mg every morning and evening for a DVT I had about 4 months ago. I usually drink a protein shake every day in the late morning. I wasn't aware of any problems drinking a protein shake if you are on apixaban. I did find some information on a pharmacist site on the topic.

--- Can You Drink Ensure Or Boost While Taking Eliquis?: https://hellopharmacist.com/questions/can-you-drink-ensure-or-boost-while-taking-eliquis

The article mentions Boost and Ensure but I like ones that are lower in calories, sugar and carbs like Premier Protein. My favorite is their Cafe Latte which has 30g protein, 5g Tot Carbs, and 1g sugar.

Great question. I like the Evolve or OMG ones as more vegan. They have 100mg of omega 3 (DHA/other). I thought omega 3's were off limits while on eliquis. Which protein shake would you recommend that is protein based/Vegan
