I am having a hard time getting in all my protein daily. I can not tolerate the protein 95 drinks from gnc and the bars are just disgusting. Any suggestions from anyone on what other things I can try to get in my daily amount of protein. Thanks Melissa

Everyone's tastes are different but I really like Pure Whey Protein Stack by Champion Nutrition. I get the chocolate flavor, which tastes like a fudgesicle. One thing I really like about it is that it mixes very easily with water. I just shake it up. A lot of the other proteins I tried remained gritty and really didnt mix well unless you used a blender, and that's not always convenient. A lot of people really like Pro Score 100 too. I like the taste of that ok, but still prefer the Stack. I'm not sure what the GNC 95 drinks are made from but whey protein is generally said to taste better than soy protein, and pre-digested whey protein is your best choice for absorption. Unfortunately, I don't know any stores you can buy it at. You can get samples from www.vitalady.com and (I think) www.wlssuccess.com. If you like the samples, www.fitrx.com is the cheapest place I've found to buy the jars. If you're looking for something with a fruity flavor, rather than chocolate, a lot of people are really liking the Nectar line of protein drinks. They have an apple flavor, Caribbean Cooler and Very Berry. So far I've only tried the Carribean Cooler. Oh, GNC also carries bottles of a protein drink from Designer Whey Protein - I think they're called Protein Blast or something like that. Those are pretty good, taste kind of like watery KoolAid, LOL. I find the drinks easier than the bars, really. With the bars it seems that if they're really high in protein and low in carbs/sugar, they taste horrible, and if they taste halfway decent they're pretty high in calories/sugar! Also, you're going to malabsorb more of that protein bar than you would with the predigested protein drink. Detour is a good tasting bar, tastes a lot like a candy bar - I forget the protein/carb numbers but they aren't the highest out there. Atkins makes some ok tasting protein bars too, and again they're not the highest protein counts. MetRX probably has bars with the highest protein grams, but the taste is nothing to write home about!
