Protein Shake recommendations pls!

ShellGetsFit

I've been wanting to get a protein shake for some time now to have for post work out time. Recommendations please! I'm also really not up for spending a fortune or signing up for any plans. So is it even possible to get one worth my while in this case? If I was to spend a decent amount on one will it last for a while? Give it to me people!! :happy:

I use a whey isolate, vanilla flavor. I have the powder and will even use it as a meal replacement if I blend it up with Almond milk unsweetened and frozen strawberries. Keeps me full for hours. The powder is about 140 calories a scoop. And it is low in carbs.

Gold Standard natural vanilla is my favorite all around.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Chocolate Whey blended with almond milk, banana, spinach, PB, and ice... SO good.

Thanks everyone! So do you always mix almond milk or other such milk with it? I'm sure when I get my butt out and buy some it must say on the container! I hope! lol

You don't have to but it tastes WAY better than mixing it with water

That makes sense!!

I like Jay Robb powder. Tastes good, sweetened with stevia, 110 cal, 1 carb, 25 protein. I mix it with coconut milk as it's the only milk I can stomach.

I use Promasil Powder from GNC. It only has 90 calories per scoop and 20grams of protein, with 0 carbs. It is around $30 (here in Canada anyway) for the smaller tub, and the big tub is around $50-60. I wait til there is a BOGO sale and get 2.
I am currently sipping on a shake right now for breakfast. It has a scoop of powder, vanilla yogurt (Source-35cals/serving), and a cup of Oasis Smoothie (banana/pineapple/coconut). It is high sugar but its yummy.
I usually use Unsweetened almond milk as it has only 30 calories per cup.

I use Natural Factors Whey Factors Double Chocolate protein powder; no growth hormones, GMO free, no added sugars or artificial sweeteners...I usually mix mine with 2 handfuls of ice, 1/2 cup Silk Light Chocolate Soy milk, 1 frozen banana, and 2 scoops of Chocolate or Regular PB2 (powdered peanut butter), sometimes strawberries....SO DELICIOUS!

Good to know!! I'm in Canada too! I'm going to check out GNC and Fitshop to see what they've got going on!

Some whey protein, pineapple, and silken tofu with a few frozen berries in a blender is what I am gonna make for my post workout shake today.

Its gonna be delicious.

I prefer Spirutein Protein Shake. its soy protein. 14 grams. and Love is listed on the label as one of the ingredients. I add soymilk/ walnut milk, 1/2 banana, teaspoon of honey and a dash of nutmeg. very satisfying!!

Muscle max chocolate ice cream flavored whey protein! Yumm

I assume that a vanilla one would allow more leeway for adding different fruit and veggies to it. My mind can't wrap around certain items with chocolate...spinach being one. lol

I used Precision™ Sport Supplements ISO-PRO® Low Carb - Vanilla all last year and really loved it. i got it from GNC. It took a little bit to get used to, but I used it with 50/50 unsweetened almond milk and water. Helps if it's really cold too *L* As you know my insides are delicate little creatures and it never upset my stomach like other protein shakes had.

Another I have used (and still am slogging through) is the Genuine Health proteins+ - Natural vanilla and it's pretty vile no matter how I make it. Once I'm through this GH container (thank goodness it's small!), I'm going to get another container of iso-pro. I THINK at fitshop, they have samples you can try. maybe even popeyes will too. They're both near you so it's worth a shot (Fitshop is next to the running room now)

Please, make sure you get one with Branch Amino Acids!!!!!!! Very important.

I always forget about Popeyes!

I JUST went and bought some of that this morning! I'm hoping it'll be yummy with just skim milk. I also heard that Perfect Whey protein powder is good, even with just water.
