that TASTES GOOD! Please no Beachbody coaches or MLM. I have tried Shakeology but am looking for something cheaper. I can't do Myoplex lite or Genisoy anymore- too sweet and fake tasting. I am looking for something relatively cheap, low in sugar and carbs, high in protein and preferably fiber. I will use it to replace breakfast and/or lunch so it needs to be low in calories since this is for weight loss. Please suggest brands and where to buy, I really appreciate it! I have spent a few hours on the boards searching this topic, but I wanted a new link about this since I am tired of reading people arguing about MLMs and such. Please only post what you have TRIED and I have a beachbody coach and know the spiels on that, Isogenics, etc. . :) Thanks!

    I like EAS vanilla. Mix it with milk and a banana or some berries and it's wonderful. I think it was 130 calories for the mix plus what ever you mix with it. I also like to mix it up with milk and use it as coffee creamer. Used to be able to get it cheap at Sams but not anymore so I have no idea.

    Check out Lo Carb Metabolic Drive by Biotest. A little pricey but worth it. Excellent taste and great for lo-carb dieting.

    i have been using body fortress since the summer and like it a lot. i was using just whey but i got whey isolte today since i had a coupon. each scoop has 140 cal, 1 fat, 3 carbs and 30 protein. i either mix it with water or put it in a smoothie with yogurt, fruit (and sometimes peanut butter if i am low on cals for the day)
    the taste is pretty decent even when it is just with water

    GNC pro performance Whey Iso Burst - very high protein, negligible carbs.
    I like the raspberry flavour.

    I use Body by Vi (use it, don't sell it) and LOVE it. It's $99/month for 60 shakes ($1.65 per shake - less than many on the market & less than most meals). I was having a lot of health issues that basically stemmed from being malnourished, so this works for me. The protein count is lower than some (13g per serving), but depending on if you mix with almond milk, regular milk, etc that goes up. For me the nutrients were more important. It only comes in one flavor which is neutral, then what you add flavors it (a couple tablespoons of cocoa, or OJ, or frozen fruit, etc). The sugar is nothing - like 1g per serving, and to me it doesn't taste overly sweet. Again, a lot of it is what you add to it. It takes less than a minute to blend a shake, and I drink it even in the car on the go. Good luck finding something that works for you!! I have tried every protein shake under the sun & most make me sick! :flowerforyou:

    The 3 best tasting proteins are from

    Gaspari (Myofusion/Intrapro)

    TruNutrition (Trutein/Isology)

    Xtreme Formulations (Ultra Peptide 2.0/Ultra Peptide Whey)

    Nothing can touch those in terms of taste

    I don't know if you live near a wegmans but they make a natural whey that is awesome!! Its only 80 calories per scoop, its 18 grams of protein, only 2 grams of sugar and almost no fat... its sweetened with stevia so it has a light taste thats really good and not over powering or chemical-esque! Hope this helps!

    This is the kind I use. It's got 27g of protein and I think it's 140 cals. Not sure about fiber. They sell it at Costco for less than $40 from what I hear. I didn't buy mine. I need to go get some more though b/c I am almost out. I mix it with water and think it's really good. I do mix it and then stick it in the freezer for up to an hour. I like all my drinks really cold and this tastes better really cold.
