Drink Protein shakes?

*~ Mrs. Fontes ~**~ Mrs. Fontes ~*
in Trying to Get Pregnant

Back in my younger and healthier days, I used to work out alot and drink protein shakes daily.  They really helped me feel better. But I can not remember for the life of me what I used!

Anyone have a recommendation? I remember how hard it was when I started them because they were nasty, I eventually found one I liked, chocolate flavored. So it was like a snack.

    I don't know the brand name, but many of my coworkers buy protein shakes at Costco. ?They are chocolate and come in a juice boxesque container.?

    I use muscle milk "light" It has 20 grams of protein and they sell it at costco. My Bradley instructor recommended 80-100g of protein daily and when I run short I use this.

    Thank ladies. I think I might try the Designer Whey. I'll have to check locally this weekend and see if I can find it!

    I know they have it at GNC and other stores like that, but they also have it at my grocery store now so they might have it at yours

    I drink vanilla Designer Whey daily but I add a 1/2 cup of nonfat yogurt, non-fat milk and frozen fruit and bananas and blend it. YUMMY!

    I used to get Optimum 100% Whey Protein from bodybuilding.com. I switched to try another brand just to try something else and I hated it so its still sitting in my kitchen. I really need to get back into drinking shakes again so I'm going to go back to the Optimum.

    Try Jay Robbs- Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry are all great. Plus they are natural without a lot of preservatives. Sold at Vitamin Shoppe or at Whole Foods. Or online! :)

    I drink protein shakes for dinner a few nights a week b/c I don't really like many other protein options.  I found this recipe online, had to fudge w/it a little til it came out to my liking, so it might be worth a try for you.  And you'll be skeptical, but if you don't mind testing it out, try it.  I swear it's super yummy.  Also, it's kinda on the thick side (not like milkshake thick though), so if you like them more watery, add ice.  I made this for a friend who really liked the taste, but prefers hers thinner.

    1st put 1/2c.-1c. frozen broccoli in blender (broccoli cuts work great) and hit puree then liquify until it's really fine (you don't want any chunks).  Then add 1c. skim milk, a little splenda, less then 1/4 package of sugar-free pudding mix (whatever flavor you like, and this also thickens it up), and 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate Whey (don't know if that's the brand name or not, usually get it from Vitamin World) protein powder and hit blend, then liquify, then whip.  Soooo good!

    I know, frozen broccoli?  But I swear you don't taste it at all!  I also make sure to drink it w/in like 10min, but have gone 20min. and still had no broccoli taste.  When I 1st made this I added all the ingredients together at once and even though I didn't taste any broccoli, it wasn't pureed enough and I still had to swollow chunks and bits of the florets.  Good luck!  Let me know if you do this and like it.

    I've tried many protien shakes and Muscle Milk light is my favorite - milk chocolate flavor. Their creamy vanilla, cookies & cream, and peanut butter chocolate is also very good. I know they sell the premixed at costco, but I prefer the powdered kind - 2 scoops in a blender w/ 16 oz water/ice cube combo and yuum! We buy it online at fitrx.com - they have the best prices I've found.
