Do you drink them? What do you think? and which ones do you recommend that do NOT taste like protien drinks, lol

    I drink them a few times a week. i like muscle milk and EAS advantage. I have found the the prepacked ones taste less medicinal/minerally than the powder you mix yourself. I like to use them after a work out or as a meal replacer.

    Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate - Tastes just like chocolate milk to me! GNC has them, but it's cheaper online through Amazon.com. I just started a subscription for a 5lb jug every two months....

    i drink two a day, each one after i work out. in the morning i have allmax isoflex vanilla with a handful of frozen strawberries. it tastes good. in the evening after my evening workout i have BSN Syntha 6. It tastes really good. i mix it up with water and some ice. i mix them in the blender. dont know what it's like in a shaker cup. they're the perfect blend for after workout recovery and easier to digest when im still getting over the workout..

    Just bought Six star Pro Nutrition Whey Protein Vanilla....LOVE IT. It's so thick -mixed in some crushed ice, skim milk, and 1/2 a banana. I always use a blender for my recovery so it was natural to use one for this. It is FANTASTIC and my boyfriend said, "Wow that tastes like a McDonald's milkshake". He's nuts!

    i take Optimum Nutrition's 100% whey like pp. I too order it through Amazon, it's like 37 for a 5lb thing. I have it in strawberry but I'm getting it in chocolate next. It's not too bad but it gets old, and on days that I don't like it I just add some stevia and it's delicious again!!

    Also, I like that one because there aren't a lot of carbs or fat, like 1 gram. It's pretty much pure protein and the serving size is one scoop. Hope that helps!

    I buy whey isolate from the website nutrabio.com. I have to mix them with milk or gatorade, I can't drink them using water. I like both the chocolate and strawberry. Bought the mixed berry this time but haven't opened it yet. It mixes without leaving powder in the cup. It has less then 1g of sugar, 1g carbs and 25g of protein. Most of the flavors are around 100 calories I believe.


    My trainer told me to do the 100% whey isolate so that is why I went with it.

    I have a protein drink most days! I have had terrible experiences which keeps me away from any vanilla flavoured one. Being a recovering chocoholic, i tried the Balance - Divine Chocolate and i love it!! I'm excited about having my protein shake! I have mine with water unless i need to bulk up my calorie intake in which i have milk instead..... tastes like a choccy milkshake!

    check out bodybuilding.com for protein drinks. They have a ton!

    Optimum Nutrition is my favorite brand....a little more pricey but way worth it. It actually tastes good.

    I love amazon (always think they have the best deals), but I think bb.com is a little better. The shipping is no contest.

    Body Building.com has the best shipping I have ever seen. The stuff will come in 2-3 days, always

    Wow I sound like a spokesperson lol

    I Love Pure Protien. You can get them online, at the vitamin shop, target, walmart and most drug stores. They are relatively inexpensive and they taste great! I like to put them in the freezer for a couple minutes so they get a little icey and they all taste like milk shakes. My favorite is the cookies in cream or the bannana. But all of them are good!

    I've tried a few, and my preference is Biotest. All of their flavors are fantastic - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana cream (remember those yellow popsicles with ice cream inside?), they blend VERY well - the texture is spot on. They are also ridiculously filling, which to me is a BIG deal! I usually had one for breakfast, one for afternoon snack before workout, and if I was up late I had one before bed. I was also impressed with this brand's numbers as far as low carb, high protein, low calorie. The website to get it from is.... a little sexist (t-nation.com), but if you can get past the bikini babes, their products are the highest quality I've found.
