Hello everyone! Decided to get back into shape after slacking off for the last five or so years. I have about 35 pounds to lose and want to do it the healthy way. I am looking for great tasting protein powders to use in a smoothie in the morning that are low calorie. I am usually rushed in the morning and figured a smoothine may work best for me. Any ideas or good recipes?

    I love Biochem Vanilla Whey, but it has 7 grams of sugar per serving. So.... I switched to Body Fortress Vanilla Whey, it only has 2 grams of protein BUT it has 22% of my daily cholesterol. :/

    I like both of them but if someone has any recommendation on other great tasting, low sugar, low cholesterol vanilla whey protein mixes I'd be interested too.

    2 grams of protein per serving? I think you mean sugar... Body Fortress has like 26 grams of protein per scoop.

    I really like Isofuel. It has 25g of protein and 104 calories. It tastes REALLY good too. My favorite is the cake batter flavor but they have other ones like chocolate mint and cookies and cream. You can get it from muscleandstrength.com

    Jay Robb egg or whey, Sprouts Show Me The Whey, Designer Whey. and MRM egg protein are my faves. I've tried vegan pea protein and do not like it at all.

    Where do you get the Optimum Protein? Cinnamon Graham Cracker sounds delish! I was "addicted" to animal crackers every night before I went to bed...sounds like that may be a good option.
