Protien Shakes
I really like Cytosport Low Fat Complete Whey. This is the same company that makes Muscle Milk. Their Low Fat Complete Whey lower in calories then compared to their Muscle Milk LIGHT (regular MM has a lot of calories)
Another brand which looks good is Dymatize. I tried a protein shake made with them, and it was very good.
The company can be found at http://www.dymatize.com/products/.
They have different Whey proteins, and the nutritional values don't seem too bad.
For their
ISO 100 = 24 - 25 grams of Protein| 106 calories | 0 Calories from Fat | 0 - 1 Carb
Elite Egg = 24 grams of Protein| 110 calories | 0 to 2 Calories from Fat | 2 - 3 Carb
Elite Whey = 24 grams of Protein| 114 - 117 calories | 14 Calories from Fat | 2 - 2.5 Carb
Whey Isolate = 24 grams of Protein| 125 calories | 14 Calories from Fat | 4 Carb
Elite Gourment = 21 grams of Protein| 120 to 125 calories | 15 Calories from Fat | 5 - 6 Carb
I have no idea how they taste by themselves, but I am planning on testing them the next time I need Protein (going to get the ISO 100).
No matter what brand you buy, try to remember:
Keep the Calories low (try to stay around 150 or below would be better)
Keep the Proteins between 20 and 30 (25 is ideal)
Keep the Carbs below 10 (5 is ideal)
Keep the Calories from fat below 20

Check around, call around, and see who can beat the best price. There is a "Mom & Pop" health food store near me that will (try to) beat any best price, plus an additional percentage. The only thing with these types of stores, they may not take it back compared to a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.

If I make a shake I like chocolate protein powder with 1/2 cup skim milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 serving of international delights sf decaf french vanilla cafe (4tsp) in a blender.
