I have been looking into getting a protein powder to start drinking before or after workouts. I been drinking the Atkins meal replacement shakes in the mornings for breakfast or as a snack in between meals. Any suggestions on powder? Powder will last longer then the premade shakes.

    I love Quest. My favs are salted caramel (sprinkle some sea salt on top) and cookies and cream. I make with a splash of skim milk, water and ice for about 120 cals each.

    I have seen them before. I'll look into the salted carmel one.

    I really like Natures Bounty vitamin and protein chocolate flavor. It is really inexpensive too. It's about $15 through Amazon.

    I like Gold Standard Whey protein - in either vanilla or chocolate. Nothing too crazy about it, but it's really versatile and you can always blend it with different combinations. Another plus about powder is that you can sneak it into some things. I like to mix powder into my yogurt, oatmeal, or even pancakes.

    "Whey is a component of Milk Protein, with the other being Casein Protein. Whey may be healthier than other forms of protein. The benefits of whey are due to the protein itself, while casein may be a better muscle builder."

    This was shared on another protein powder thread.. it's really helpful. It rates brands/powders by nutrients etc. Always good to know which ones are palatable too though, so lists like this one are great. :laugh:

    I don't think you can beat Myprotein for quality, huge selection, taste and price.

    Yes, except i have to sub with other protein powders when I'm waiting for my package to arrive. I live in Australia and my last order took nearly 3 weeks to get to me. This time i ordered an 11lb bag, so should last a few months. I use whey impact Isolate in choc/peanut butter flavour, and it tastes delicious which is very important to me.

    Ok no worries, happy to refer :smile:

    I mix mine in milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, smoothies, ice cream and i make a yummy dessert called Protein sludge. I've never actually had protein powder mixed with just water, i always make a meal out of it.

    Cytosport 100% Whey Protein Powder, 6-pounds

    imageService?profileId=12026540&itemId=100225865-847&recipeName=680

    I get Vanilla flavor from Costco for about $40 for a 6 lb bag. It's a great way to add a protein source if you are tracking your macros. I find it great to use in oatmeal, shakes, pancakes and with yogurt. If I mix it with just water, I prefer to use water a little cooler than room temperature as the cold water tends to leave it a bit clumpy.

    It's a textural thing...

    This one
    https://www.costco.ca/Kaizen-Naturals-Chocolate-Whey-Protein-Isolate.product.100305821.html

    All but 10 cals from protein. Took a bit to get used to the taste of stevia, but now I'm fine with it.

    I like to put some ice, water, a scoop and a banana in the blender.
