    I like the Almased shakes. High in protein, low in sugar.

    I am new to shakes but I like to use almond milk as a base. I add assorted berries, ice and a small amount of agave. Probably not high in protein but you could use more high protein ingredients instead of the berries.

    Well I am going to say (I am clueless when it comes to shakes!) I just use the spec. K ones because I don't know enough about others to make.

    I would love to know more about any of them that will pack a great deal of protein in them!!

    My favorite homemade one is almond or coconut milk as a base, 1tbsp of natural peanut butter, 1 banana and ice. I also buy some whey protein powder once in a while but not a big fan of the taste.

    Vanilla whey protein, acacia fiber powder, a packet of Starbucks Via instant coffee, 1/2 tsp of Vietnamese cinnamon, and skim milk. The thing I like best about it (other than it's really tasty) is I can shake it all up in a blender bottle.

    I drink the Special K chocolate protein drinks if I need to grab something quick or I make strawberry banana smoothies:

    1 banana
    3 oz. frozen strawberries
    1/3 cup milk (I use soy, almond, or flax milk -- vanilla flavored if I want it a little sweeter)
    2 ice cubes
    1/8 cup water to thin it out a little
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder

    Yummy and filling!

    As a busy Mom, I go for quick and easy.

    Premier Protein Shakes available at Costco (24.99). 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar, 4 carbs and only 160 calories.

    These are seriously a life saver for me!

    I swear by these shakes!

    That sounds yummy. I am adding this to my menu.
