Anyone know any good protein shakes that dont taste like crap and arent specifically made to gain weight? I need a recovery drink that will keep me full after my workout in the evening. Any ideas? i have shakeology but just seems to expensive for every day use and its more of a meal replacement.

    Peanut Butter Cup Super Whey from Walmart.... $15ish for a container that makes 30+ shakes (depending if you use 1 scoop or 2).

    I like Frutein and Spirutein. Tastes good and comes in a variety of flavors. Only around 110 calories, depending on what you mix it with.

    BSN Syntha-6. I use it for breakfast and dinner, after my workout. Vanilla with frozen strawberries in the blender. 200 cals, enough to work as a meal replacement. Very yummie and very good.

    I buy From the Makers of Muscle Milk 100% Whey Chocolate (they also have vanilla) at Costco. It's really good.
    1 scoop = 140 Cals, 2 g Fat, 27 g protein

    Though not really a protein shake, I found that NOW Foods has a yellow pea protein powder that mixes fairly well with just about anything, does not have a really obvious taste of it's own and has no added anything - a huge bonus for the food allergic me. IF you don't like the shake options you have found, perhaps a smoothie or shake of your own making and just toss some protein in there?

    ...but please note, I know nothing about anything! ^_^

    I'm ADDICTED to Shakeology......it seems to be the purest, cleanest, most healthy, nutritious shake on the market........It's about $4/shake OR if you are a coach it's $3/shake. Very affordable for health and worth it. I even do a shake every other day to save a little. My problem is that my children also LOVE it! ugh. :) I have to buy a lot. The health benefits, for me, are way more important than the cost......I work better when I am using Shakeology and I notice a huge difference in my body and energy levels when I haven't had a shake for a few days. Whichever shake you choose make sure there are no fillers or artificial ingredients in it and yes.....you can always add calories to any shake to make it more calorie dense. Happy Shaking :)

    Jillian Michael from Wal-mart. I had a diff brand from Wal-mart, steer clear, made me feel sick.

    Am I the only one who caught that she said "aren't specifically for weight gain?" are NOT, lol. just putting that out there. Reading is fundamental

    are you allergic to shellfish by any chance??? I am, and find that most of these products have added iodine, which is a no-no for me...
