Protein and/or weightloss shakes opinions and ideas

I'm like you, not a breakfast person and need something quick & easy or I won't "eat" anything at all. I've tried both and this is my take.

Meal Replacement Shakes (MRS) - usually lower in protein, higher in fiber, generally give you a decent amount of vitamins & minerals. I used Ideal Shape, all things considered, it was the best bang for the buck of everything I looked at. They tasted very good (chocolate better than vanilla) and I didn't have to add anything to them to improve the taste. It's also sold directly by the company verses in a Multi-Level Marketing system like Visalas, Herbalife, and Shakeology. I would mix with 8oz of 2% milk or OJ and 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries or blueberries. Kept me feeling full for 2-3 hours.

Protein Powder - pretty much straight protein with little fiber and vitamins & minerals. I use Syntrax Matrix because it has 3 types of protein - Whey for short term release, egg (something or another) for medium release, and casein for long term release. I found a site that sold single serving samples and ended up ordering Chocolate, Vanilla and Mint Cookie. Same mixing as the Ideal Shape except when I use the mint cookie I ways use milk (mint & OJ, ick). I feel full for 3-4 hours easy with this and also feel like I don't feel as hungry through out the day.

Hope this helps.

Which do you prefer? So the protein last longer?

Taste - both taste pretty good either on their own or mixed with fruits/pb2/etc but I'd say Ideal Shape edges out Syntrax Matrix.
Cost - Syntrax Matrix hands down. It's about half the cost of Ideal Shape when you order it off Amazon.
Fulfillment - Syntrax Matrix.
