I'm investigating these protein drinks and don't want to spend @ $20 to find out I hate the taste, so I'm asking ya'll what was your favorite high protein shake AND drink mix. There are soooooooooo many, seems like there should be a drink swap board for those who dont like it and are stuck after tasting. Thanks a bunch!!~~~~~Nancy ps- I'd only do vanilla and choc. on the shakes

It's good you like Whey, you really should do what you can to get that rather than Soy supplements. Apparently, from what I read, Soy doesn't absorb like Whey does. It's all about the absorption, baby!

Take care.

I don't like the shakes. I put protein powder in yogurt to give it some oomph, it really doesn't have a lot of protein in it on it's own. For a supplement, I either drink a protein bullet (IDS whey tropical punch), or eat a protein bar (be very careful how much sugar alcohol they have), or some protein pudding. The puddings are by Muscle Milk and I really like them best. I understand that there are Stallone puddings too that are similar. I just got some Atkins bars that have 12 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar, and no sugar alcohol. They are much easier on my stomach than some of the ones I tried earlier that had 25 grams of sugar alcohol.

In Greenville, there's a store that sells it, it's not a chain however. I'm not sure where in Charlotte you'd look, but somewhere like an exercise fitness place or the vitamin shoppe. You can order it online too just google muscle milk pudding or IDS Whey protein bullets. There is a link at the bottom left of most of the OH pages for Profect protein, they're the same thing. You can do better price wise if you can find a place locally that will order a case for you, they'll usually give you a discount. Mine gives me 20% off. Good luck.

I've tried so many, but the only one that seems to work for me is the GNC Wheybolic Extreme in Chocolate. I use 2 scoops in the blender with ice and Dairy Ease Skim milk. In fact, I'm getting ready to blend one up now. Blessings, Diane

Places like Earth Fare or any "healthy" grocery store sell samples.. thats the way to go :) I liked BioChems 100% Whey Protein in Vanilla (the natural is GROSS).. I bought at Earth Fare for just $15 a can. For drinks... isopure from GNC.. they are pricey at $3 a bottle but each has 40g protein, no sugar, no carbs and low calories... I drank them further out if I needed a protein boost.. usually 1/2 a bottle at a time.

I use Isopure Chocolate, Vanilla (with berries or banana), or sometimes Strawberry. I also use Isopure pre-mixed (Grape Frost, Tropical Punch are my favs - comes in a big glass bottle), and now using Nectar Twisted Cherry and just ordered Nectar Roadside Lemonade. I prefer a variety since I supplement twice a day. You can get samples online too with Vitalady and some of the other companies. I would suggest that too. Sometimes my preferences and tastes change so I usually have a variety on hand.

Good luck!!
