Does anyone here know of any good shake mixes or powders or whatever to take?
I don't want the ones you drink after working out with a bunch of calories. (P90x anyone??)
I want a shake mix that makes you feel full. Kind of like a meal replacer. And low on cals.
(does that even exist!?!?)

Shakeology.. 150 Calories.. 19 g of protein, 14 g of veggie carbs.. breakfast replacement.. Hit me up for details0

Right Size Smoothies. Several differnent flavors, great recipes, only 110 calories. I've been having for breakfast and lunch for couple weeks, and their great0
-
I love the Vega Sport shakes. 25 g plant protein, 120 calories.0
-
Most protein shakes have between 120-150 calories. Not sure how much lower cal you want.0
-
GNC Total Lean shakes are pretty good and also filing. About 170 calories, 6 carbs, 2 sugar. 6 grams of fat. Very filling for me. All the flavors are great. I drink the ready to drink ones just because I am busy with 4 kids and always running out of the door and if I had to make them I'd probably forget or not have time and end up getting hungry while out and eating something else.0

I make my own with Designer Whey protein powder (French Vanilla or Chocolate), ice, a little low cal juice or unsweet almond milk and fruit or PB with Vitamix/blender (generally around 200-230 calories. For a shake and go I love Trutein (www.bodybuilding.com) with water and crushed ice in a shaker cup. Flavors like Cinnabun and Choc dipped banana help :-) They are only 115-120 cals so not a meal replacement but do help me feel full (snack and post workout) Add a banana or other healthy carb and it would be a meal replacement.0

Shakeology - Chocolate & you'll never go back to anything else0

Expensive indeed. You'll find something equally beneficial (or better) for MUCH less in price. Most shakes are all higher in calories though. I drink Optimum Nutrition's Double Rich Chocolate with 2 cups almond milk and it comes to 180 calories. Just 120 if you drink it with water, though.
ETA: This makes me feel very VERY full after I drink it.0 -
to each their own... Shakeology is expensive because it works... it works because it comes with your own personal fitness coach who monitors your meal plan. I would never push it on somebody who didn't want it though.... I only want people to drink it who will do the WORK that comes with being in shape and living that lifestyle.. anything else is just bad advertising.
I am very sorry if your experiences weren't positive.. I personally have never had that feedback from my clients. Best of luck in the path you choose.0 -
I agree.. to each his own. I have nothing against it other than the price and the hype.. as you stated, the real benefit of it is coming with somebody to hold your hand throughout the process.
Nothing against people who need a trainer, but for most it's just not practical (price-wise) and can be done by themselves with just willpower. There are much cheaper options out there that do the same thing as Shakeology.0 -
I like Body Fortress. It is very reasonable. Trying Pure Protein right now....only 3 g carbs 25 g protein. The flavor might be a little better but more expensive and you have to use more. I always get Vanilla & mix it with fruit.0
-
Honestly any shake is gonna be about 150-200 calories, personally I use Muscletech whey protein with a spoonful of peanut butter and a banana during or after most workouts. Its def. filling and as long as your working out hard your gonna need that extra energy anyways.0
-
Cambridge Diet shakes and soups --they 're also in the MFP food database-- not that expensive. 1 can has 15 servings ( and is about $24-25)-- so 5 days (3 shakes per day) and the good thing is 100% of daily vitamins/ nutrients in 3 servings...0
-
Well, as somebody who pays mortgage, student loans, truck, wife's car, day-car, medical insurance.. by being great...not just good... at "holding peoples' hand" I kind of resent that. I'm not going to be nasty about it, because I really do hope that all of you reach your fitness goals, However, I KNOW that I can get that done for anybody... any-body. Yet, I will not come on here and bash another product or profession.0

I have been using eas advantage shakes for over 4 years 110 calories/18grams protein they are good but I have found a better protein shake reccomended by hospital staffs and docors go to Unjury Medical Protein.com read about them and try the sample packets. They taste wonderful it is a whey protein and 21 grams of protein, mixes with water milk in your coffee. try it see for yourself I love them have swiched over from my eas advantage and I am melting away gracefully.0

I have been drinking Shakeology every day for a year and a half...even my super picky husband likes it!
I've heard about Vega--how's the taste? Might add that into the mix! I'm pretty picky about ingredients...will have to look that one up!0 -
really expensive premium shakes are kind of a rip off imo (shakeology, or anything aimed at women). go with a tasty plain whey - chocolate or vanilla. they have high protein, low fat and carbs, low calories, mix into milk for something tasty. my favourite it 2 scoops of chocolate blended with some milk and ice.0

To an above poster, What's a good one that includes vitamins? I was at gnc today they had one that had a multi in it. Guy said it was tastier than gnc whetbolic amp 60(nasty) I miss my shakeology. If it was only $70/mo I'd buy it again, but just can't swing the price. Nor can I remember the one I'm prob going back for tomorrow at gnc. It was in a silver container.0

Again, I have nothing against trainers. I'm sure you help keep a lot of people motivated and on track and you're clearly passionate about what you do. I respect that. I just know a lot of people who think that's the only way to ever be fit, though it's not. I'm sure that you can help anybody reach their goals.. because ANYBODY can do it with the right motivation! (With or without a trainer/overpriced fitness products)0 -
Shakeology is the best shake. 72 vitamins!0

No idea on the vitamin front, I personally just eat my fruits and veggies then take a multi vitamin at the end of the day for good measure. Shakes for me are usually when I haven't had enough protein and just want to chug something and be done with it, or when I don't feel like a full meal for lunch. Whey + berries or bananas / multi vitamin = 2-3x cheaper per month than hyped up stuff like shakeology. To each their own tho, I know it tastes really good.0 -
GNC WAY OVERPRICED! There is a store called Complete Nutrition I would suggest going there! they have experts. But a great one that you can use breakfast and for dinner or even post work out. Is V Core Pro Complete. And they all taste really really good! and there not crazy expensive. And if you go instore they will give you like 20% off. Cause its their product.0

MUSCLE MILK 100 CALORIE CHOCOLATE SHAKES. low cal, some vitamins and potassium, and its lactose free. i looove the stuff. it totally satisfies my chocolate milk craving and its perfect for recovery.0
-
I like Herbalife shakes. The shake is 90 calories, plus whatever milk you put in -- almond milk is 40 calories -- and you can add as much protein as you want (at 20 calories per scoop). My usual shake is either 170 or 190 calories and I find it filling. Cookies & Cream is super yummy, and to change it up I'll add a dash of chocolate powder (no sugar, no calories).0

UMP cookies and cream is AMAZING.. low calories and low sugars!! I love it!! Its great for women0 -
I make smoothies with just fruit and milk some but for shakes I use the Spuritin powder I like the flavors especially Cookies and creme and you can buy although more expensive in individual size which allows me a variety.I do end up adding fruit to it as well as PB and ice cream to help bump the calories up which I need still at this time0
-
I like the Jillian Michaels Triple Chocolate protein shakes. Very tasty. I like to mix in some yogurt or peanut butter for some flavor variations.0

My firm beleif is that you get what you pay for with most things. Protein is no exception. I'm not even gonna continue or start an argument, but research what you are actually putting into your body.. The same goes for the advice you get on here.. (It's free and they don't fact-check) Myself included... I am giving free advice in an area that I work in professionally, because it is a noble thing to do, and doesn't hurt me from a marketing aspect. However, I have read some terrible advice on this site from people who probably meant well. I guess what I'm saying is... No matter what your method.. research it, and get advice from credible people... If those people are on line.. ask them follow up questions.. message them, make sure they are not just throwing out BS.. Good luck to everybody. #endthetrend0
