Best Protein Shakes for after a workout

Iceprincessk25

I've tried Syntha 6 by BSN. It's a powder that you add water to so it's pretty easy to make at work. It's VERY tastey.

I've also tried Premiere Nurtitions Chocolate Protein shake. That comes in it's own container so that might work also. It's a little pricey though......18 for $23 at costco.

They both taste delish in my opinion.

Ohhh I'm going to have to try the syntha, whats the best flavor? I use whey but I'm getting sick of it...

chocolate...its awesome

I second the chocolate, it's DELICIOUS.

For the on the go drinks, I'll use the EAS carb control. The chocolate fudge and dark chocolate is pretty good.

I third the chocolate! It's AWESOME!!

As far as hindering weightloss just make sure that it fits into your calories. The Syntha-6 is pretty decent on the nutrition.

No, protein shakes are wonderful for weightloss!! You just have to do some research on em. There are alot of them that are full of sugar, these, in my opinion are weightloss hindering. As for the Synthia, i just didnt get what i needed from it.

Weight loss is only possible where you are consuming less calories than you are burning, however it makes a big difference what food groups make up the calories you are eating. Protein is often deficient in your ordinary diet and this is often made worse when you make changes to your diet to cut calories. Protein is an ideal food to eat on a weight loss programme because it packs more nutrients into less calories and amongst many benefits reduces the amount of muscle tissue you lose during weight loss. Remember that muscle is metabolic and therefore burns calories and subsequently assists your weight loss. When you waste muscle you have to eat even less calories to lose the same amount of weight!

I do sometimes drink a protein shake after a work out or in place of a meal. Sometimes dont have time to eat will make a shake and grab a piece of fruit. I started of using slim fasts high protein shake....it was alright...but then I found jillian micheals whey protien shake. Purchased at walmart for 10 dollars. Tastes very good, not as sweet as slim fast, but i'm sure that is why it is healthier than slim fast. You can mix with water or milk. Here are the nutrition facts if anyone intrested.....

BSN syntha 6 is my fav....and it tastes good

I normally use GNC amplified wheybolic extreme 60 mixed with water. The vanilla mixes better than the chocolate but doesn't taste as good. I recently switched based on a recommendation to Cytosport Whey Isolate - Pineapple Banana Protien. It tastes like a pina colada but doesn't mix well at all and had a substitute sugar after-taste. I would recommend the GNC Whey.

I use the GNC Whey, its got a good caloric/protein ratio and is reasonably priced!

I bought a shaker cup, so I throw my protein powder in a ziplock and just add water and shake when I am ready to have it!!!!
And if you become a Gold member at GNC you get more deals/discounts...

Everything I have read suggests a post workout drink that is 4 to 1 carbs to protein. This is supposedly the best for endurance athletes.

Look at accelerade or endurox.
