    Tried the vanilla one once, it was disgusting. I THOUGHT it was supposed to be taken before/after a workout, but it's actually intended to be a meal replacement. I think it's around 350 calories for a whole bottle... Wouldn't recommend.


    EDIT: 250ish calories

    How dare you.

    Muscle Milk light is grand.

    Does anyone drink Muscle Milk? Is it any good? My sister likes it but I don't really know much about it. Is it designed to be a meal replacement or to have after working out? I'm having a hard time eating (stress, etc) and I know I need to get my calories somewhere if I want to work out. So, would anyone recommend this? Anything else? Thanks, and sorry for all the questions!

    I got the chocolate kind at I was only 180 calories a bottle. You can use it as a replacement or a snack. I used to drink it right after working out because I was always afraid of losing muscle instead of fat. I'm currently using Pure Protein Rich Chocolate powder though because it's cheaper and slightly lower in calories (only 160 for a scoop mixed with 8-12oz of water) unless you mix it with milk or something. It's worth a try, but probably only if you work out a lot. I don't think it will hurt if you have it even if you don't work out though.

    I'm not doubting you or anything, but the article said with 3 daily servings. Do people really drink that much a day? That alone is scary and those people should eat more real food! haha

    Muscle Milk light is better for you.

    I prefer the Premier Protein, chocolate - 30gr protein, 160 calories. I have at least 1 a day!!!

    Best of Luck!

    Agreed. Premier is very tasty (even better now that thy've improved it!). I use it as a 'snack'-high protein, low calorie. I also use it as a meal repacement when I'm not really hungry, but know I need to eat something.

    They want you to finish it fast so you can buy more, so they can make more money! Simple as that! A 4 oz chicken breast has about the Same amount of protein that a scoop of whey protein has...I' all take real food over supplements any day!

    My husband drank those after he got dental surgery. I snuck a taste once or twice. Tastes okay I guess.

    my husband used to drink a can of muscle milk after each workout and liked it, but pure protein shakes cost less than half and honestly taste better, and my current protein powder costs less than half and also tastes better.

    I also use Pure Protein now. It's so cheap compared to muscle milk!

    The only reason I drink it is because I can't eat enough throughout the day to get enough protein, so I find the shakes very helpful

    The only one I really love is Muscle Milk Pro Series Intense Vanilla. I freeze my blender bottles , blend the 1 scoop or two scoops then put the bottles back in the freezer about 5 minutes - it really helps smooth the texture and helps the flavor.
    I love it for that protein after a workout as sometimes I can't get back home from the gym for 45 minutes - 2 hours depending on my schedule. I got the large tub from Vitamin Shoppe for under $35 bucks.

    Since I rarely meet my calories as is and am high protein/low carb this provides a great option for me.
