I am looking for a low calorie protein powder that I can mix with milk that doesnt cost me a small fortune. I am in the UK and wondered what other MFP users are using? I was using Maxitone definity but its run out now and costs 18 pounds a tub (a bit steep!) any suggestions on an alternative and where i could buy it from?

    I use Designer Whey or EAS mostly, but I am in the US. Don't exactly know what's available to you :)

    My wife anuse the eas whey protein in the "sacks" it comes out to less than a us$ per drink. It comes in vanilla and chocolate fudge and mixes with milk.

    I can remember exactly but I think its their carb sense drinks. We repackage so I don't have the label bunred into my brain. I'm sure there is some type of bulk place on that side of the pond that could hook you up.

    Hope this helps

    I use the Jillian Michaels whey protein powder. It's $10 USD and usually lasts me a month. I use this one because it's the only one I could find that doesn't use artificial sweeteners (i.e. aspartame) -- I'm allergic to artificial sweeteners.

    Hi,

    I am using powerbar protein plus in lion crisp flavour, it has little chunks of toffee and fudge in so feels like a treat whilst still being good. You can get it from here http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=53108 Price is similar to maxitone but is a much bigger pack for the price.

    Optimum whey is also available from this site very reasonably http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk/sports-supplements-whey-protein-optimum-health-ultimate-whey-protein-2-25kg I buy my protein bars from here so is a trustworthy site, lots of choice and quick, free delivery. I am going to stick to my powerbar protein shake though, it's more expensive but I like the taste!

    ditto the EAS powder, vanilla....mixed with a half cup of yogurt & wow, great replenishment :tongue: & very yummy :tongue:
    So worth the cost....$30 U.S....guess that should be almost 15 lbs by you. Of course, it all depends who you buy it from :flowerforyou:

    BSN Syntha 6 - provides different types of proteins, a little over $20 a tub (look around), and the taste is phenomenal!
