I just started 30 Day Shred yesterday & I was curious about what everyone's favorite pre-packaged protein shakes or recipes are. I am currently using Jillian Michael's Double Chocolate shake for 180 calories & 16 grams of protein. I am sure there are better alternatives (higher protein, lower calorie). I'm thinking about buying a Magic Bullet or something to make my own shakes so I can save money, but pre-packaged are better for now. Thank you!

    Shakeology is the BEST but it's a little expensive. In my opinion it is so worth it!

    I use liquid protein from Dietdirect.com I really like the orange and grape flavors with water, and the mango/peach is great in iced tea!

    I buy vanilla flavored Body Fortress (u can get it at Target or Walmart) and use it as creamer in my coffee every morning. It's 140 calories & 26g protein. Regardless of what brand you buy, make sure you are getting whey protein - it is the best.

    Does it mix in well? I've never even thought of mixing it with coffee.

    I do the Jillian micheals natural whey protein that you mix. It makes 30 servings and I got it for 18.00 at sams club. I blend it with skim milk and sometimes add ice. Just be careful with the prepackaged protein shakes because of the sugar in them.

    I had a GE bullet style blender used it twice and the top got stuck! Make sure you hang on to your receipt in case the belnder craps out on you. We just went and got an new blender today.
