Best Meal Replacement Shake?

What do you need for your daily calorie/macro goals? Can't really make recommendations without knowing what you need.

Personally I like orange juice, vanilla protein (Optimum Nutrition's Pro Complex), and vanilla ice cream.

I use premier protein ready-to-drink shakes that I purchase at Costco. The chocolate is ok plain. The vanilla is a bit sweet but mixed with coffee it's awesome. (you can also mix the chocolate with coffee. or tea)

Have you heard of myprotein.com? They're good quality and affordable and most importantly taste great! I've got Mocha, Latte and Banana flavours at the moment and none of them taste horrible and synthetic. You can just add water or milk, I use a mix of both but either way it still tastes like a nice semi-thick mocha/latte/banana flavoured shake.

For breakfast, sometimes I just drink a Muscle Milk Light chocolate. When they're really cold, they taste good. Even my kids like them.

Otherwise, I mix a Jay Robb whey protein shake in Vanilla. Supposedly voted "best tasting" and has the following:

Made With 100% rBGH-Free
Whey Protein Isolate as the protein source

110 calories
Sourced from grass fed cows not treated with rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone)
•25 grams of protein per serving!
•Lactose-Free
•Non-GMO (made with lecithin from Non-GMO sunflower seeds)
•Gluten-free ingredients
•No fat, No cholesterol
•No sugar, No aspartame
•No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners
•No casein, No MSG

I mix it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, half a banana, and some Crystal Light cherry pomegranate powder. Or you can use coffee, or whatever flavors you like.

I'm not a morning person and have a shake in the AM for breakfast. I started using IdealShape MRS and it was decent in water and really good mixed with OJ or almond milk. Price wise, it was the cheapest out of the MRS options I found. It's also not a multi-level-marketing system like Herbalife, Body by Vi, or Shakology which is why it keeps the cost down. Further to keep the cost down, you can go for a straight protein shake. I now use Syntrax Matrix protein powder. It's also good in milk. almond milk, and decent in OJ. Haven't tried it in water.

Most MRS and protein shakes I found were 130-200 cals per serving, not really enough calories for a meal by most standards. Mixing with something other than water will bump up the calories. Since you don't have a fridge available, you could use shelf-stable rice, soy, or almond milk. I think most come in individual boxes for easy transport. Adding chia or flax seeds will also bump up the cals a bit as well as add fiber that'll help keep you full. You could add the dry ingredients to a blender bottle and then add the milk, juice or water when you're ready to eat. The only draw back is that most shakes taste better cold verses room temp or warmer.
