Protein Shake Reccomendations



Recommended Posts

I've been using Protein Shakes for years, but I'd love your recommendations! What are you all using and enjoying or used and enjoyed? I just bought the EAS one tonight in French vanilla and strawberry cream.

EAS is okay but it gives me an after taste. costco Premier Protein shakes ready to drink. 18 each for $23.99 only 160 calories and 1 gram of sugar. 30 grams of Protein. chocolate tastes yummy!

I just drank my first Premier Protein one. the nutritionist gave me one to try before I purchase them. I'm very pleased that it actually tastes good! So I think I'll be purchasing a case of them before I head home later today.

She stressed to me that I will need a protien shake daily for the rest of my life. The ready made ones are sort of pricey, so I think I'll try the powder too. Does anyone have suggestions on how to make the powder mix well? The nutritionist said that it can be gritty sometimes.

I recently found Slim Fast High Protein shakes. 20g of Protein, 2 g of carbs and 180 calories. My biggest problem with shakes were the calorie counts seemed high, but this one taste really good and is reasonalbe for a meal.

I drink it every morning for breafast.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I I'd like the eas carb control one. My doctor said no more than 110 calories, 3 grams of fat max, and 4 carbs max so that fits perfectly. I tried the strawberry cream one and it tasted like strawberry milk! It wasn't cold so I got a slight aftertaste but it was ok.

I surprised by this. My doctor doesn't want me drinking cals. He feels you should get Protein from solid food.

My doctor doesn't want me drinking calories either, but he makes a specific exception for Protein shakes (I asked: but...aren't Protein Shakes liquid calories?). His thinking is that the benefit of ensuring that you have adequate protein each day, plus the difficulty of getting in enough protein via solids only, outweighs the negative of the calories in the shake.

His recommendation is to choose a shake that has at least 20 g of protein and at most 200 calories in an 8 oz. serving.

I use the EAS Carb AdvantEDGE shakes (110 cal. in an 11 oz. serving), as well as the GNC Lean 25 shakes. These have 25 g of protein and 200 calories per two scoops, which makes 8 oz. normally, but I Water it down to 12 oz. since I like my shakes a little thinner.

Pure Protein has really good chocolate shakes and I like the GNC Total Lean Vanilla Bean.

you can order the Premier Protein on Amazon too but the shipping is a lot. if you have a costco nearby, I am sure they have them in store. http://www.amazon.com/Premier-Protein-High-Shake-Chocolate/dp/B00796NFHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357784146&sr=8-1&keywords=premier+protein+shake

They also sell premier at Sams. I have no trouble getting Protein from solid foods. My doctor says if you can't you are too tight.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
