I drink "Whey Factors-French Vanilla". I got it at my local health food store, but you can order it online. It tastes like cake batter!!!!0

Warning: Watch out for heavy metal contamination in some brands.
Consumer reports tested several brands and found "All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body."

Right now I'm on Curves protein shakes, they have chocolate and vanilla. I make it with 1% milk because I detest skim. I add a dash of Almond extract and cinnamon to the vanilla, and a couple of drops of Mint extract if I'm having the chocolate! I have one for breakfast every day and it really helps get my day started right.0

I've tried numerous shakes!! After having gastric bypass we are urged to drink lots of protein shakes. I've tried them all.
Sytha-6 or GOLD is a good protein powder, but I got to the point that the powder makes me gag.
Now, I can easily drink EAS protein ready-to-drink shakes or Muscle Milk (lite) protein shakes. It's not the BEST, but as long as I (1) open, (2) swallow, (3) breath slowly, making sure not to breath in the smell, repeat, then I can get it down easily!
It has to be cold and I have to try not to smell it. Muscle Milk H20 is great too but only 10g protein a bottle.
Ensure protein (25g per bottle) is HORRIBLE.. Don't buy it, even if it is on sale. I did this.. I still have 2 I have to drink.. YUCK!!!! Good Luck, let me know if you have questions. I've tried numerous shakes. I can tell ya the truth about 'em.0 -
we use Amplify that is sold at GNC it has about 20 grams of Protein in one scoop , tastes really good too.......Fills me up in the morning so that i don't eat junk food at work!0

I also heard lots of good things about Unjury protein shakes. I have trial packets. I have not tried them yet, because it's a powder. I'm afraid. Some day I will try it. I also heard the one from Wal-mart Body Fortress isn't that bad, but again, it's a powder.. I can't do it right now.0

I love the Isagenix Isalean ones. I mix them 74% vanilla and 25% chocolate.0

I've been using gaspari nutrition myofusion milk chocolate. I think they taste great.0

a protein shake isn't going to help you lose weight. (nor will it hinder you).0 -
WOW0

Thanks everyone0

I've tasted lots and lots of protein powders. The only brand I think tastes good with no weird after taste is Muscle Milk. I get the light version to save on some calories.0
-
I drink one for breakfast (because I am not a big eater in the morning) mixed with banana usually and one after I lift heavy weight a couple times a week. They help me reach my protein goal and keep me full and they help to repair/build lean muscle mass. I use EAS found everywhere0
-
Body Fortress in any flavor is pretty good. Especially the peanut butter chocolate one.
Shakeology by Team Beachbody is good in Chocolate, but expensive unless you routinely spent $4+ on the meal you are replacing.0 -
Most of these replies seem to be (to me at least) straight up protein shakes. The OP mentioned wanting a meal replacement shake...they aren't always the same.... look for one that does say meal replacement on the label
Though all suggestions are good shakes!
I currently use GNC Lean Shake Meal Replacement when i'm low on calories and want something filling. And I use GNC Amplified Wheybolic protein for after workouts. Both are chocolate. Both are (in my opinion) tasty. I mix them with water though so I don't get the extra calories from milk but its all about what you prefer really. Some stores will have sample packs of their powders so you can try a couple different ones before you buy a whole tub and hate it.
Good luck!0 -
I drink vi shape nutritonal milkshakes twice a day and lost 54 lbs in 90 days. Its packed with nutrition, really yummy and low calorie!0
