    Thak you for your help. I was - like some people said - wanting one that wouldn't make me bulk out. Going to have a look for some vanilla ones.

    Just make sure it's not high in calories, but you're a woman...unless you're supplementing with steroids and testosterone, you will not bulk up from just eating high protein content in your daily diet.

    Agree with the above. In that same tangent, that's also why I suggest looking for protein isolates. It's purer protein with less fat/carbs, so make sure you read your labels (like with any type of packaged food, really).

    While I'm not against fat/carbs, the extra calories will add up (especially if you're restricting calories). If you are just looking for more protein and not a meal replacement (not that I'm a fan of meal replacements though), then the extra in less refined protein isn't necessary. For those extra calories, I'd rather have another chocolate chip cookie. ;)

    Im not looking for meal replacement. I love my food way too much. I will look round for protein isolates. Thank you

    I had the same question and went to Wal-Mart last night & when looking at the fat, calories, carbs & protein....I found that the Jillian Micheals triple chocolate protein shake had fewer calories and carbs. I tried it today after my workout and I just mixed it 8 ounces of water and it wasn't bad at all. It was almost like a very light flavored chocolate milk. It has 15 grams of protein. I actually liked it.

    Hi, i hope this is helpful. I just bought today a brand called Designer Whey Protein (chocolate). It is 100 calorie per serving. Im using it as a meal replacement. I blend it with peanutbutter and unsweeten almond milk. It is super yummy and suprisingly filling. I had it for breakfast and lunch and i had to force myself to eat dinner to meet my calorie goal.

    Muscle Milk already ready to drink shakes or as powder which is not bulking but more for lean muscles and tastes fantastic with high protein content Elite Fusion

    GNC carries one for body builders and the "serving size" is 3 scoops and 60 g of protein. I use it but use ONE scoop (93 calories) for 20 g of protein a day. The chocolate is very tasty. It is called Wheybolic Extreme 60" I believe. When you go into GNC they try and lead you to all these "womens products" which have oodles of calories and very little protein. If you are just lacking that extra 20 g of protein the Wheybolic Extreme works well.

    I think she is referring to not wanting to bulk up like some protein shakes offer. Like "weight Gain". Look for something like muscle milk naturals for a good portion size (around 20g protein) Stay away from massive amounts of protein.

    ?!???


    Protein is sexist now...in addition to being the magic-bulking-bullet that women should avoid? What?!
