    Designer Whey Protein Powder

    Protein Shake Base:

    1/2 cottage cheese or 1 cup reduced fat greek yogart (besides nutritional value, it makes the drink like a milkshake consistency)
    1 scoop of Desinger Whey Protein Powder
    1 - 4 pkts Stevia or low calorie sweetner of choice
    5 - 10 Ince Cubes (depending on thickness you like)
    1/2 tsp xanthan gum (ptptional, just a pinch makes your drink thick & creamy)

    Base breakdown for one serving is 200 ish calories , 2g Fat ,5g Carbohydrates, 3g sugar, and 35g protien

    Next you add whatever you like:

    Peanut Butter Maple Shake:
    few drops maple extract
    2 tbs peaunut flour or 1 lbs regular peanut butter
    2 tbs sugar free butterscoth pudding mix

    Total base + peanut butter maple ingredients 1 serving = 260 calories (+40 if using regular peanute butter), WWPs 6

    or

    Thin mint Shake:

    I found all of these recipes on Dashing Dish - Giant List of Dashing Dish Official Protein Shakes at
    http://dashingdish.com/recipe/dashing-dish-official-protein-shake/

    I love the variety plus the amount of protein and none are over 310 complete with base and add-ons! I highly recommend checking this site out, it's been a lifesaver for me!

    MusclePharm is the best supplement products out there. Check out their combat powder for protein. I have the banana cream and it tastes like a banana milkshake. This is what every top level athlete uses (NBA, NFL, UFC, etc). It is delicious along with the rest of their supplements.

    I use Biochem 100% Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate Fudge I mix with some instant coffee (Wheat and Gluten Free) if it's a issue I have also used the Natural Vanilla MRM is a good one I have also tried MyoFushion But that is more like a meal replacement The one I'm using now is by Syntrax Whey Protein Isolate It's called Nectar Vanilla Bean Torte it's (Lactose and Gluten Free) zero carb, zero fat one scoop is 23 g protein at 100 calories All of these are very good tasting I go through protein powder fast and it gets pretty $$$$$$$$$$ to use You have to budge a little here and there to make things work for you I hope this helps you in your search Good luck:)

    I prefer the optimum nutrition casein powders for a shake made just in water.

    They are much fuller tasting and feeling than whey shakes. I really like muscle milk too, but it's probably higher calorie than what you are looking for. As funny as it sounds I like it not only because it tastes good, but I actually use it for a fat supplement(as otherwise I typically don't eat enough).

    Iso sensation 93, I like that it has a 94% protein percentage.

    Compared at least 25 protein powders and some of the most expensive ones came in with the lowest percentages, although was pleasantly surprised that a few sold at walmart were packing a decent 80ish%
