Running low on protein currently using the Whole Foods 365 brand which has 80 calories and 16 grams of protein per scoop. Any recommendations? I usually use the protein to make smoothies. If possible, something with more protein would be great since I have trouble hitting my protein goal.

Thanks!

    If you go to bodybuilding.com they have a ton of really great powders and they give you customer perks all the time. I really like that chocolate peanut butter made by Syntha. I've also used Jillian Michael's Chocolate Whey. It's cheap and tasty, but around the same grams you have now.

    I have never tried it because I do not like the macros as much but I have heard this several times.

    My husband uses Optimum Nutrition in vanilla - 240 cal for 42 g protein or something ridiculous (I use his for cooking). I use Jay Robb Egg White Protein in either chocolate or vanilla - 120 cal for 24 g protein.

    They are all slightly different but mine is 240 for 48g.

    The "Ultra Peptide" product is more like a meal replacement shake, the "Ultra Peptide Whey" is more of your standard protein shake.

    Which one do you use? I don't see that you posted it, but might have just missed it?

    I use the cookies and cream......It's ok. Probably do chocolate mint or double chocolate next time.

    Nice. thanks for the heads up.....Didn't realize there were different products and the ultra peptide whey is more in line with what I would be looking for.

    Optimun Nutriion's Rocky Road is really good but my new favourite is Gaspari Myofusion in Cunnamon Roll. so good I drink it with just water! Tastes and smells like Cinnabon ;)

    Hmmm 42 sounds like a bit much for me but 24 g is definitely a good start. It's definitely been an adjustment increasing my protein. I'll check this out thanks!

    I just ordered Syntha6 from Amazon because it had great reviews on taste, and mixes well with water (according to reviews). It should arrive tomorrow so I'll be back with a review. I got chocolate milkshake and vanilla ice cream.
