If you drink protein shakes

Do you buy the ready made or the powder?

Recomend your brand- thanks.

I have only tried the Special K french vanilla ready made. Its decent and does keep me full.

Also - do you use these as a meal replacement or just a "snack" in between meals

Re: If you drink protein shakes

I use Optimum whey protein (powder) in the extreme chocolate flavor and it doesn't taste bad at all. I use it after I finish a workout, sometimes it'll keep me full and sometimes I'll have a light dinner.

I bought it from Amazon where I think it's the cheapest I've seen it.

Re: If you drink protein shakes

I always buy the powder...
I've tried a number of different shakes and it all depends on when you are having them and for what purpose. If its a meal replacement then I go with higher calorie/higher protein like Muscle Milk Light or BSN's Syntha6 (if its for breakfast then I toss it along with oatmeal (cooked) and throw into a blender...protein and good carbs all in one cup).
I've also used TightCurves (which I think is now called Soyextreme) and I used to buy it in the individual packets and those were around 90 calories and 15 grams protein with around 1-3 grams of fat per serving...no fiber though.
If its something just to tie me over for a bit I find the Biggest Loser powder is decent (2 scoops of the raspberry flavor is 80 calories/ 0 fat/12 grams of fiber/12 grams of protein).
I buy these at Vitamin Shoppe....

But remember....most protein shakes arent for weight reduction....use them carefully and make sure you are working out

Re: If you drink protein shakes

I used either Muscle Milk Light or Spirutein (chocolate or vanilla). I always blend some fruit in--strawberries or banana.

Orgain

They are so good.

I was able to get them in the supermarket at first, but can't find them anymore, so I buy online at the Vitamin Shoppe.
