    I use Hemp protein. All natural, 130 calories for 4 tablespoons and 15g of protein plus 1200 mg omega 3.

    I usually put it in my green smoothies- a combo of apple, kale, banana, and berries.

    Now Sports Whey Protein Isolate - Natural Unflavored

    The best part about it is that I can't tell it is there!! I mix it with greek yogurt, frozen berries, some cocoa powder, spinach, skim milk, and a little flavored sweetener. Mmmmmm.... I went from "I will NEVER drink a protein shake!!" to "Could I skip dinner and just have my shake?"

    Isoflex in vanilla is my current one (I like to change brands)
    it's only 110 cal per 30g scoop and 27g protein
    I like to blend it with 1 cup frozen berries and a cup of water

    I am on the Shape Kit from Visalus. I use 8 oz of almond milk or water and two scoops of the powder. I can flavor it with unsweetened cocoa powder if I want chocolate, add strawberries if I want the flavor... It is so yummy! Twice a day (breakfast and lunch). I get all my nutrition and build muscles. Great for muscle recovery too after a workout. Try it for 30 days. If you are not happy they give you back your money. Check out the ingredients. http://90daynow.myvi.net/Resource/DbFile/?f=Vi-Shape_Ingredients.pdf

    EAS chocolate soy protein (180 cals) with a couple tablespoons of BP2 and a banana... it's like a dang milkshake.

    I use a similar recipe (I use EAS Chocolate Whey Protein and PB2) and I can confirm it is absolutely delicious! EAS Chocolate all the way!

    I use this as well. Mostly because it is one of the few that isn't loaded with artificial sweeteners (which I am allergic to.) I recently bought a 100% whey from GNC with absolutely no sweeteners whatsoever, I like it because it is unflavored so it doesn't conflict with any flavor combinations I put together.

    Vanilla Designer Whey is my fav. Get it at Vitamin Shoppe.. I like it because its all natural so no gross chemicals/fillers/thickeners and it tastes good.

    I usually blend 1scoop with 1c. OJ and 1/2c. frozen blueberries. I also put in a scoop of greens for digestion :)

    Or if im feeling chocolatey I will blend 1 scoop with a 1c. skim milk, 1tbs of cocoa powder, some stevia to sweeten it up and 1 frozen banana.

    I have these for b-fast, they are about 300cals and they generally keep me full until lunch.

    I LOVE this one. It's very smooth, no grit, tastes awesome and the powder alone is low in calories (100 per scoop). I mix it with one cup of unsweetened coconut milk, a few ice cubes, whatever fruit I need to use up and a touch of sweetener. YUM!!

    Met Rx Plus Vanilla....goes in anything, doesn't give you gas, and doesn't make you loopy. I have used some protein powders that have so much pre digested aminos It makes me sleepy.

    Designer Whey is a close second...it dissolves/disperses betterthan anything out there.

    I like Aria Women's Protein (80 cal per serving). I don't know what makes it "women's" protein, but I like it with almond milk at the end of the day for a chocolate milk snack if I have calories left and haven't met my protein goals. I sometimes mix half a serving with water after my morning workouts before I can get to my post-workout snack of almond butter and a banana.

    I love Shaklee's Soy Protein Cocoa Flavor! It is full of such great nutrition. I use it as a snack at night if my body is craving calories.

    Depends on what is important to you!

    Some varieties people mention here vary in cholesterol content from 5mg to as much as 85 mgs. . I'm not sure why when you are trying to be healthy on the outside you are not concerned with your insides! I know some that use two scoops of Whey per shake and do two shakes per day. Worse case that's 85 mgs of cholesterol x 4 = 340 mgs a day just from whey shakes.

    There are several good ones.
    Jay Robb has 25 mg protein, 0 sugar (uses Stevia), 0 fat, 1 carb. 110 cal. Modest Sodium 150mg

    I use the Met RX Protein Pus Vanilla and the Chocolate....both are very good and a whopping grams or protein in one scoop, 23 grams!!! Tastes good too!
