    I drink the GNC vanilla lean shakes (2 scoops) and get the amp'd protein (I only use a 1/2 scoop for calorie reasons and b/c I don't want to much protein) mix it with water, a few ice cubes, and some frozen fruit (strawberries, mixed berries, or peaches) and it is :drinker: SO GOOD...HONESTLY!!! And I am very picky about which ones I can drink and which ones I can't!!! If it is taking you that long to drink yours....you need a different kind ( I drink mine on the way to work.) Hope this helps!!!

    Ever try blending cottage cheese with something to make your own protein shake? I use 1/2c-3/4c nonfat cottage cheese, then blend it with an equal amt of nonfat frozen yogurt. It has a milkshake consistency and gives you 15-23gms protein. The cottage cheese is under 100cal per 1/2c and the frozen yogurt I use is 90 cal per 1/2 cup. It's also good to have cottage cheese and orange sherbet together. MUCH cheaper than protein shakes too.
