PATCHELTON 0 Posted February 9, 2009 I use Worldwide Protein shakes. They are available at Trader Joe (chocolate and vanilla only, 21g Protein $1.69 each, 35g $2.29), The Vitamin Shoppe (35 g only in all flavors--Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana Cream, Cookies n' Cream--$2.79 each, $27.99 for a 12 pack--available online also), and GNC (35g only in vanilla and Chocolate $2.99 each--other flavors available online). I drink one every weekday in the morning, and sometimes on the weekend too. Sometimes I make a smoothie instead. They have about 4 carbs, 160-170 calories, only 1g sugar, 1g Fiber, and 1g fat.

Gus-Gus 0 Posted February 9, 2009 I use the Slimfast, low carb, in chocolate. I like them because they're easy, really good chilled and I can drink one on my way home from work to hold me over until dinner time. Every once in a while I through in a South Beach Protein Bar instead of a shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teacherica 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Any good Protein shake should have at least 15 grams of Protein, should be under 200 calories per 12 ounces, and should have less than 20 grams of carbs. It should also have 25% of the daily recommended amount in: Vitamin A Calcium Vitamin D Vitamin K Vitamin B6, Vitamin C Iron Vitamin E I get my Protein shakes from costco. They have 30 grams of protein, they are 160 calories and have 5 grams of carbs along with all the major nutrients. They are also less expensive than going to the grocery store or GNC. (They cost $28 for a pack of 24) They also taste great. I have done a lot of research about this and have talked to Nutritionists about this. Your body needs to consume at least 60 grams of protein, about 80 grams of carbs and about 1200 calories a day to survive. If you work out, you need more. Consider than when buying your Protein Shakes. Good luck and read the label! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs_angel 0 Posted February 9, 2009 What is the name of the shakes from costco? ?? Or are they their brand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teacherica 0 Posted February 11, 2009 The name of the Protein Shakes from costco is Premier Nutrition Protein. They come in a case of 24. You can normally find them by the pharmacy area, not necessarely around the weight loss shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carolehunt 0 Posted February 11, 2009 I like unjury.com unflavored. I mix it with skim milk, orange juice, orange or peach sherbet, pkg. of splinda, teaspoon of vanilla. Taste like an orange julius. Gives you 20 grams of Protein in just 1 scoop of the Unjury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kjhack 3 Posted February 12, 2009 I like the Syntrax matrix brand. They have chocolate, Cookies n cream, and vanilla. They are about the only ones I can tolerate. I like the cookies and cream the best. I think the muscle milk ones are ok too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
