    I just checked out shakeology. Saw some videos on it and have done a lot of reseach the past few days. I have done the slim fast thing and it doen't help. But with the shakeology you get everything your body needs. Check it out. We are buying some this next payday.

    Hi, I'm new to the idea of protein shakes too, but the trainer that I just started working with suggested the protein powder at the following site:
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dym/elite.html

    She uses it and is in AWESOME shape. It's very low carb and obviously high protein. She suggested one in the morning and one after every workout. I'm going to start using it this week--my husband also mentioned that it's not as expensive as some of the brand he has used. Hope this helps!

    Which protein bars would you recommend and do they taste good?

    I use Gold Standard 100% Whey, it's a powder but nice tasting and easy to mix. Plus it's low carb/sugar with 24g of protein per scoop :)

    those are high sugar and not much protein, im afraid. Now, if you arent ready for the powder jump, try premixed versions; i like isopure, protein blitz, muscle milk,and body fortress. All have little or no sugar and most are around 120 calories and super yummy!

    I get the EAS protein shakes, and I like them. I've also heard really good things about the Shakeology, too.

    Shakeology is a little pricey, but sooooooo worth it! One of.... if not thee best one out there in my opinion. The chocolate is my favorite.

    I like the ready to drink GNC Lean Shake. It has 170 claories, 25g protein, and 3g net carbs. Plus it tastes really good.

    I use the Sport Food Company protein shake powder - It's inexpensive, has all the necessary ingredients, low in sugar compared to others. I buy only the plain vanilla flavour, mix it with lite soy milk and some extra water, throw in some psyllium husk powder (for my cholesterol) and add a teaspoon of flavouring essence, the stuff you add to baking, for variety. Keeps me going for ages :wink:

    Im in love with Designer Whey's Vanilla Protein shake mix - extremely low carb, 100 calories and the shakes are versatile! I can make breakfast shakes, smoothies, pudding, put it in the freezer for icecream.... use it in recipes...

    its AWESOME!

    I use Costco Kaizen whey and I find it really good, digestive wise and 150 cals for 35 grams of protein its an efficient one at that, plus the majority of the sweetness is Stevia, with a smaller amount of sucralose in it compared to lots of other brands on the market, doesn't cause me any IBS-C/bloat issues like many have in the past, love it, I have vanilla and chocolate and make myself a post workout smoothie with just water, 1 scoop and 1 serving of fruit in the magic bullet, also super good if you need a snack to make up some protein for the day.

    Personally I have tried many and have liked the taste of very few. My current favorite is 1st Phorms Milk Chocolate Level 1. It's loaded with protein 24g, for only 139 calories. The strawberry is good as well.

    BSN Syntha-6 Protein is my favorite. It is a powder though (although in my opinion powders are best, I've yet to find a protein bar that isn't either loaded with junk or tastes like gritty cardboard).

    Personally I take that with some ice, a scoop of teddie's natural peanut butter with flaxseed, a banana, and water. Blended up it tastes to me like a reese's peanut butter cup.

    I use Shakeology too and just love it! It is a meal replacement, protein shake, and all your vitamins in one. There is nothing like it out there. It is 9 servings of fruit and veggies, gluten free, and caffeine free. It is also supported by the American Diabetes Association! Chocolate is my favorite and I make mine with 1 cup of water, 5 ice cubes blended with 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter, and 5 frozen strawberries!
