protein shake recommendations

Why not do eggs and potatoes and veggies in a scramble? But, to the topic, Meijer has the Body Fortress brand that tastes decent and isn't expensive. I really like Dymatize Iso 100, but it can be pricier. It's not a meal replacement, though, so I wouldn't have it be your whole breakfast.meither have it with your oatmeal or whatever, or add milk, berries, spinach, avocado, etc. for a more nutritious smoothie.

"Fitmiss" and "Her Whey" are good protein powders made specifically for women. They're low calorie and have a pretty good amount of protein per serving. My gf loves the fitmiss powder, she hasn't tried the other but I've heard great things.

Protein shakes in the morning are ok, but you should probably add in some carbs for breakfast to help you get your energy levels up. Making a smoothie with protein powder is great and there are tons of recipes that you can find that have a good balance of fat/protein/carbs.

I like the premier protein vanilla ones that are premade. The chocolate ones are ok, but vanilla ones are yummy! Easy grab and go, for not a ton of calories, 3 or four carbs, and 30 protein. Sometimes I blend one with a 1/2 cup of frozen berries and it's heavenly.

I like OhYeah! Chocolate Shakes. They taste a lot better than others I have tried. You can find them in most grocery stores or on Amazon.

I take ISO100 smooth banana and it's pretty good. But if your looking for a meal replacement a slower digesting could do you better like casein protein.

I was thinking protein shakes/powders might be a good way to go to get my morning protein....otherwise I'll eat all carbs. Are there any you all like and recommend?

Here's the secret... Ready? Perfect for getting your nutrients and leaning out/staying lean!

1 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
8 ice cubes ( I just like it with a lot of ice to make it thicker)
1-2 scoops of Epiq isolates preferably vanilla (Epiq is the cleanest whey protein, for every scoop it's 100 calories 20g of protein and 3g carbs no sugar)
1 teaspoon of sesame seed oil ( great source of mono/polyunsaturated fats)
1 teaspoon of flax seed oil (same reason as sesame seed oil)
1 cup (lid of bottle) of L. Carnitine by Pro Supps ( speeds up metabolism)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/3 cup of Crazy Monkey Gingerbread White Chocolate granola (has actually very little sugar 8g and it's the best tasting granola I've ever had)
1 table spoon of Cinnamon for flavor

All of of this has around 300-400 calories depending on how you make it! It has been the staple of my weight loss as I went from 225 lbs down to 158 since the winter! Given I made it up myself from trial and error but it's about as clean as you can get! Hope someone tries it as for all of my friends love it and have started using this recipe!

What most people don't consider with the protein powders that they think taste so amazing is that the sweetness is coming from sucralose. Fake sugar leaves a bad taste in my mouth for hours and doesn't sit well with me. I've only found one brand of protein powder in the chain stores around here that doesn't contain sucralose (Target, Walmart, grocery stores) and that's Designer Whey from Target, which has stevia instead.
