Are any of you supplementing your diet with protien shakes? If so, which ones/types do you use and how do you prepare it?

Thanks

    I use Natureade Total Soy (you can find it at BJ's Wholesale Club $19.99 / 47 servings) after every workout. It says to either mix with water or juice. I mix with water b/c I don't want the extra sugars, etc. from the juice. My sister mixes 1/2 water & 1/2 skim milk but she's not diabetic. If you mix & let sit in fridge for a few minutes, it thickens and tastes even better. Cals 140, Fat 3, cholesterol 0, sodium 220, potassium 150, carbs 17, fiber 2, sugar 8, protein 13.

    I use Target Market Pantry Chocolate flavor. I mix it with Almond milk. The powder is only 5 cards and 25 protein per scoop.

    I might wanna try that. How's the taste? How many grams of sugar? Cals? Sodium? Sorry, hope you don't mind. :flowerforyou:

    I don't normally, but someone gave me a bag of the Visalus shake mix hoping I would sign up for the program under them. I'll make one of those every now and then, using unsweetened almond milk.

    That one from Target sounds good. I'll have to pick some of it up next time I'm there.
