Protein shake

I've been using it for about a month now. I love it! I drink it right when I get home between my snack and dinner and I've noticed I don't need too much food tor dinner to fill me up and I get tons of energy. Instead of the usual of coming home and passing out for a couple of hours I get enough energy to stay awake til bed time and to work out for hours!

Is anyone else using it?

    I too love a protein shake. Its great for a post gym recovery. I mix in some flax seed and 1/4 cup blueberries and a 1/4 dannon light & Fit vanilla yogurt. Slap a few ice cubes...heaven. Its a great way not to snack while making dinner.

    Well for me, if I mix it with soy milk it's delicious, but when I don't have many calories available I mix it with water and that doesn't taste so delicious...lol It comes in Vanilla and Chocolate flavors. I'm drinking the chocolate one!

    What brand of protein drink do you guys get? I've always had awful luck with finding one with reasonable calories that tastes deccent.

    I like Designer Whey 100, Chocolate. One scoop = 100 Calories. More calories for me, I mix it with skim milk which adds another 90 calories. And if I need more calories for my day I blend it with a frozen banana, almond butter, and skim milk, now that tastes good

    I get it at Trader Joe's (I actually do all my food shopping at Trader Joe's)

    Trader Joe's first started in Southern California (I'm in San Diego). They have spread to other parts of the country. They have a store locator on their web site. Everyone I talk to says they "love" Trader Joe's.
