Protein Shake Questions

[Momto3redheads 18]

I love the Herbalife shakes (you can buy them from a dealer, on Amazon, or ebay...) and I just add a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored to it....my favorite is to take 6 oz skim milk, a cup of ice, 2 scoops choc shake mix, a scoop of Protein, and a tablespoon of PB2 (powdered Peanut Butter - you can use the real thing, too) --- it makes a fabulous shake that tastes like a Peanut Butter cup! What a treat -- and low calorie/fat/healthy for you too!

best advice is to not drink the same thing all the time...I got soooooo burned out on the Atkins shakes pre op that I couldn't even stomach one post op!

For shakes you should be looking at a 1:2 ratio Carbs : Protein. Half as many carbs as Protein and a minimum of 25 grams of protein per shake.

The simple carbs added to Protein Shakes are useless calories.

If you want something more like Kool-aid/Crystal Light try Isopure Zero, it's 40 grams of pure protein, no carbs, and tastes great (several flavours).

If you belong to costco they have a nice Ready to Drink Protein, Premier Brand choc and vanilla 160 cal 30 g Protein.< /p>

I like the one from costco = 30 grams of protein is awesome!
