Best Protein Shakes

I use Shakeology. Only 150 calories and as far as the nutrition, it is the best one.

O, rly? please explain

If you are really interested in knowing all of the facts about it, please feel free to private messege me.

you did say publicy that its the best one...is the reason a secret?

My usual protein powder is Garden of Life's Raw Protein Powder that I buy from Whole Foods.
Link for more info: http://www.netrition.com/garden_of_life_raw_protein.html
Protein: 18g per serving
Calories: 80

Right now I'm using MLO Milk & Egg Protein Powder since Raw is 3 times more expensive than Raw, and offers a bit more protein per serving.
Protein: 21g per serving
Calories: 110

I love the Jay Robb Whey Protein Shakes too. The stevia isn't bitter like some stevia sweeteners can be. It has about 110 calories per serving and 25 grams of protein and only 1 carb. They have a variety of flavors (I buy from LuckyVitamin.com because they seem to be cheapest there - and they seem to have a good variety). I've made smoothies and mixed it with milk but I've also mixed it with just plain old water and it still tastes creamy!! I highly recommend it!!

I don't know about "best" because I'm not an expert. But I do enjoy the taste of this protein shake also. I prefer the chocolate.

Shakeology I believe is MLM and their shakes are really expensive. I'm sure you can get a better protein shake out there for less money.

That site has a review of it and there is a big button on there that has the complete nutritional info if you need it to compare.

Hope this helps in your decision!

I've used Inner Armour and Intek. Love them both. I use it frequently for making my own protein bars, cakes, etc. I also use Visalus because I get enough protein in my regular foods and it's low in calorie (90 calories), low sugar, low sodium, low carb and the protein make up makes for better absorption without the bloating some protein powders create.

How often do you use these shakes? Once a day? Twice?

At least once daily, and as often as 2x a day for my drink but I also make snacks/protein bars as snacks with the protein powder in it.

Yea sooo...feel free to share your recipes for those snacks/protein bars maam! I would be oh so grateful!! :flowerforyou:

Go to Tosca Reno's eat clean diet shake for ton's of protein recipes. I make pancakes, waffles, breads, cakes, everything you can imagine with protein! All of the best recipes came from that site! The kitchen table section...

FORGET protein shakes.. tonight I made protein ice cream :-) Found this recipe it was good!

Gaspari Myofusion Banana Perfection

I use Jillian Michaels Vanilla Whey Protein Shake.. At walmart for 10 dollars. I scoop is 100 calories and use it after my workouts. Love it.

What are some of the best protein shakes to use, especially for calorie restricted diets? Which protein shakes do you use and how often? :drinker:

I have two protein shakes per day and often use plain protein in some of my food preparation. There are lots of protein powders. Some of it, much of it, is junk. Consumer Reports did an article about a year ago that showed how much heavy metal, including arsenic, most of it has in it.

If you're looking for quality and safety plus good taste, I suggest my favorite, Energy First. It's whey isolate, which is the very best whey and much easier on the stomach. It 's also from grass fed cows that are healthy and raised naturally. Of course, it has no antibiotics or junk and no sugar. It has stevia for sweetening. It' s very natural and they only have vanilla and chocolate. Both are rich and mix quickly. They're also expensive compared to most of the other brands.

aahmmm not touching this one!!!

My SO has a "Cookies and Cream" protein shake he uses. I'll have to go find out the brand name.

Despite it's name, it's pretty low in cals and sugar.

Thank you for posting this! I just found the article online- scary!!

Where do you buy the Energy First? I found some BioChem which is 100% Whey protein and I'm thinking of trying that unless I can find the Energy First.

I noticed that nobody responded earlier in the thread about Shakeology. Here is a link to the ingredients and science behind it. http://www.shakeology.com/the-science
It doesn't use artificial ingredients or soy and includes more nutrition than any of these other hakes.
