    I use protein powder, greek yogurt and 2% milk and then sometimes fruit if the greek yogurt is vanilla flavored. It is usually around 400 calories and 40-45 ish grams of protein.

    I enjoy MuscleTech 100% ulra pure WHey Isolate (rich chocolate)

    It has 30 g of protein and 9 g carbs with 160 calories....I use it with water and most of the time will add ice and make into a thick shake by putting it is the blender.

    I love love love 1st Phorm Level 1, any flavor.

    This is the only protein I have tried that I can drink with just water and it not gag me. Right now my favorite flavor is the ice cream sandwich but the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are equally amazing.

    Because I am in St. Louis I get them cheap at Supplement Superstore. 1st Phorm is manufactured here and SS has a deal with them to sell it at cost verses retail even though it is available at other places. Because of the taste and the quality I will still pay the full price that I will have to when I buy it from their website when I move back to Chicago.

    I just grabbed my first protein powder last night. Muscle Milk. Only 16g protein/ 150 cal per scoop. But it was cheap and I just wanted to give it a test run.

    Here's my recent favorite:

    16 oz unsweetened almond milk
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    4 scoops choc whey
    half a banana
    2 tbsp natural PB
    4 tbsp of flax seed - I sometimes add this if I'm looking for some extra omegas for the day

    2 servings total - 518 cals, 20g fats, 37g carbs, and 54g protein per serving with the flax seed
    - 448 cals, 15g fats, 32g carbs, and 51g protein per serving w/o the flax

    Arbonne protein shakes all the way. You won't regret it! They have Chocolate & Vanilla. I drink mine with a scoop of each and cold water, but you can mix it with what ever you want. There's no whey in them, which some people have a hard time digesting. They are made with pea and cranberry protein. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

    I use Optimum Gold Standard Whey (I have both Double Rich Chocolate and Delicious Strawberry). Sometimes I'll just mix it with water but often times I'll blend it with 1 cup silk unsweetened almond milk and 1 frozen banana.. It tastes like a milk shake! Plus it has a good balance of carbs and protein.

    I use Shakeology.. now.. before I used Trader joe's and herbilife 24 (to much sugar IMO and lots of unwanted ingredients)...its hard to find NON GMO and good ingredients :)

    A friend had me tried the Milky Whey by Sportlab (chocolate flavour) last weekend and it was so good! I can drink it in water only and still tastes good!
    Now, I'm looking to buy some for myself.

    Anyone has heard of it and is it good for weight loss?

    Full fat chocolate milk (and a banana) within 30 minutes is what I use for post workout.

    I just finished my first tub of Syntha 6 chocolate. I mix it with Amazing Grass superfood powder and most of the time some P2B peanut butter powder and water. I think it tastes better than the last bag of Shakeology I had, and costs about half as much. I got the Chocolate peanut butter this time so might skip the peanut butter powder. I travel a lot for work and rarely have access to a kitchen, so I'm trying this out both to save some money and get a little better nutrition. I also got some fiber powder to try out since healthy fresh fruits and veggies are very expensive in Alaska, and I never get the daily recommended value.

    I just started using Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide 2.0 - it comes in loads of really tasty flavours. I am using Lemon Creme Pie right now. It's marketed as the best tasting on the market. I'm excited to try Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Peanut Butter :)
