    I would suggest 100% whey and 100% casein......brand doesn't matter. .....Drink the whey after workouts and the casein before you go to bed at night.

    Agreed... but I also like EAS Myoplex

    I am allergic to milk and gluten, but if you can find an affordable pea protein (I like NutraSumma), it is all natural and very easily digested (so it doesn't cause gas like many other proteins).
    Of course, if you CAN have milk, go for the whey or caseine since they're more affordable and easy to find, but if you can't, then pea protein is awesome.



    ... or there's always the free protein you can get from your SO (I couldn't resist, sorry).

    Protein for men and women is the same. Anyone dieting should intake about 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. If you can do this with food alone, you don't need a protein shake.

    I use Body Fortress because it's cheap, decent tasting and I can buy it at the grocery store instead of making a separate trip or ordering online.

    Protein alone does not make you gain muscle. For the most part, you have to eat more calories (energy) then you burn (all day not just during exercise) to gain muscle. Of course, most people here are actually dieting so they are eating less than they burn. Obese people, people new to lifting, or those returning to lifting might gain a little bit of muscle mass while dieting but it's certainly not enough to be concerned over.

    I'm assuming by your "long lean" comment you are afraid of gaining huge "man-like" muscles. First, as I mentioned, you are not likely to gain any reasonable amount of muscle while dieting. Second, "man-like" muscles are man like because men have testosterone at much higher levels than women. Any woman who appears to have these types of muscles have taken interiors. Additionally, you cannot lengthen your muscles unless you grow your bones as they are attached. Anything that promises "long" muscles is just a marketing gimmick.

    Yeah...what he said.

    Depends what your wanting to acheive, and what your lacking in your diet.

    I use ladybird for a protein shake (post and pre workout) and BNS with oats for a wonderful start to the day.

    i like whey. at the moment i'm using designer whey cus it's yummy.

    also nothing is going to give you "longer muscles" unless you unattach them from your skeletal system and reattach them at a different location. muscle length is determined by genes and bone size

    Protein is protein... Of course getting it from real/clean food is best but it works the same for both men and women. I typically stay away from most protein 'shakes'. I have a couple containers of whey protein from Gold Standard and Myofusion and well as Gold Standard casein. I still try to get the majority of my protein from lean meats and other whole foods. Don't want all that extra sugar and additives.

    -3/4 cup of almond milk
    -1/2 cup of greek yogurt
    -cup of fresh spinach
    -1 scoop of vanilla protein of your choice
    -1/4 cup of frozen blueberries
    -2 sliced frozen strawberries
    Blend

    amazingly good! Can't even taste the spinach..I promise! It is a small glass and easily drank in no time...and again it's soo yummy!

    I use the GNC Amp wheybolic, it's 20 grams of protein per scoop and just under a 100 cals, and not too pricey. I like the vanilla best, but the chocolate and strawberry are ok too.
    It does have sucralose, and I would like to fins a product that doesn't. also, I think it tastes strange when blended with ice but I can't think of any reason why that would change anything. I like it best with almond milk.
    I just wanted to add here in case others had ideas about protein that tastes good and doesn't use sucralose.

    I like MRM-all natural ingredient, no sucralose.

    Yup, what the gander has is fine for the goose. I use Nutrisport 90+ as it's only 100cals, less than 1g fat, over 20g protein and only 2.5g carbs per scoop. Plus, it's hella cheap. ^_^

    IsoPure has fruity flavored bottled drinks, they are 160 calories and 40 grams of protein per bottle. They are NASTY tasting, so I take a few ounces, guzzle it, and follow with a sip of Crystal light to cut the taste.

    I'm on a Dr. Recommended requirement of 80g protein a day, that's really hard to fit in if you have issues keeping food down, and these work really well for a low calorie add in :)

    I take Probolic SR. It's 140 for one scoop and it tastes pretty good. It's also gentile on the stomach, so no gas or cramping (if you're sensitive to that). I've had great results from it.
