    I use either slimfast powder or slimquick powder. The slimquick doesn't dissolve in the milk as well as the slim fast. But i don't drink it for weight loss really. I have no appetite in the morning. My belly gets upset if i try to get food in there within hours of getting up so i use those instead. They trick my belly into thinking its just a drink but there are vitamins. So I don't have it twice a day for weight loss or whatever it says. For me it doesn't make much of a difference regarding weight loss but its tastes yummy and gets breakfast in me :)

    i use Designer Whey protein powder. i don't know what you consider low calorie, but this powder is 100 calories for a generous scoop and 18 grams of protein; and it also only has 2 grams of sugar. The chocolate flavor tastes phenomenal.

    It doesn't matter if it is classified as 'weight loss shake'... just look for a low carb powder, which most are unless they are specifically pre-workout or weight gainers. Ready to drink shakes are full of crap that you don't need. Optimum nutrition or BSN are the best in my experience and from what I've heard from other people. Also, your shake should be about 100-150 calories if it's low calorie, low fat, and low carb.

    I like the OhYeah brand, the vanilla is my favorite. It is 210 calories 32grams protein and 7 carbs. I use it as a meal replacement after working out.

    ISO FLEX whey protein powder is great! I've had chocolate, chocolate peanutbutter, and vanilla and liked them all. PB is the best! Don't get the strawberry though! It's pretty bad. There's 118 calories, 1g. carbs, 27g. of protein.

    Recently, I have been using slimfast (the canned drink) in the morning as a meal replacement. I have not tried the powder though. I will look into it. Thanks!

    I LOVE my BSN Lean Dessert Protein powders ... Banana Cream Pudding and Chocolate Fudge Pudding. I get them through Netrition.com.
