protein powder? need recommendations
I would love to hear what powder you have liked. And also how you like to use it. I am thinking I want to try unflavored powder and add it in soups and maybe oatmeal . I am really not really sure how to use it. I do not tolerate milk well, so I don't think I want to make shakes if I don't have to. I do really like the Muscle Milk coffee flavor shakes, so a shake that was similar to those would be good.
The situation is that I am overseas and will have to pay shipping to get whatever I get here to me so I do not have the luxury of trial and error trying different things so I need what I get to be worth getting shipped to me.
I brought a few of the shakes I like with me, but as I am close to running out and still not able to meet protein goals with food alone, I need to figure out what to do now.
Thanks in Advance!

I am in Nepal. All I can get here is protein powder that has TONS of sugar and carbs and costs about double of anything in America. I just moved here about two weeks ago. I am 3 months post-op. I brought a few shakes with me but not enough space in my luggage allowance to bring more than a few :(

I should try the muscle milk coffee flavored.....is there much of an aftertaste? I like having a coffee drink in the morning but the chocolate and vanilla muscle milks have not had a pleasant aftertaste for me.
I usually go with premier protein and EAS Advantedge for the pre-made shakes, and then for powder I use the Unjury chocolate splendor....I have the vanilla but I don't like it as much. I have some unflavored but I'm holding on to that for post-surgery.

Look into Unjury protein powder. They have a unflavored powder AND they have sample packets, so you can try them without having to purchase a container. Shipping on a few trial packets won't be too expensive for you overseas. Also, most protein powders do not need to be mixed with milk, you can use water and is better for your weight loss.
Good luck!

everyone's tastes are so different that you're likely to get a hundred different answers here. I like Unjury and Syntrax Nectar products because I can't taste the protein in them. Both companies offer sample packs.
for coffee flavors, another option is to add cold, strong coffee to your shake - or buy some instant espresso powder to add in
I have the nectar Grape flavor in my amazon cart. I think that sounds like something I will like. Thanks!
