protein shakes and rtd ??

so im curious about everyones opinion on protein shakes mix and rtd ?? 1. what are you using 2. where are you getting it at (site, store) i know theres gonna be all sorts of different opinions on this, but im trying to get a feel of whats out there  thanx

I did not like any of the RTD protein supplements I treid, so I don't use any of them.  I use a lot of Unjury brand protein powder (I especially like the unflavored because I can't taste it at all when I mix it in with other things (like SF hot chocolate, yogurt, etc.), but I also occasionally use the other flavors except the strawberry (yuck)) -- available only from www.unjury.com -- and I also use the Champion Whey Stack Tropical Sunrise (really yummy if you add some fresh fruit) and the Syntrax Twisted Cherry nectar protein powder.  The last two can be ordered from vitalady.com, and the Champion WHey Stack is sticked by some GNCs as well.  The only other thing I use is the last little bits of the  Protein Delite which has been, sadly, discontinued. The Vitalady site has samples you can buy so you can try things for yourself without buying a whole canister.  There are lots of kinds that I don't like, so getting samples has saved me a lot of money. I also periodically use the New Whey protein bullets. The grape and orange are the only flavors I can stand (and teh texture of all of them is kind of nasty -- like half-thickened jello), but I get the 42g vials which means that I only have to swallow half of one to get 20g of protein.  Bodybuilders have been criticizing the quality fo the protein in the bullets, but they are using protein for an entirely different reason than we are and both of the nutritionists/dieticians that I asked about it said that they were fine for WLS patients as a supplement. Lora

Where do you get your bullets at?

It depends.  Sometimes you can buy them cheapest online (but which site varies... the prices seem to change a lot) but my local GNC also carries them and one Vitamin Shoppe I was in had them (limited flavor choices, though, in the stores). Lora

I have tried several powders and here's what my taste buds liked: For the powders I mix everything in a blender with water and ice. If it calls for 8 oz water I use 4 oz water and about 8-10 ice cubes.  It makes it like a milk shake thickness. NO VANILLIA what so ever  no matter what brand I can't do vanila.  For something you can get almost any where is DESIGNER WHEY.  Also from Wal Mart and other stores Body Fortress.   As for RTD, in a pinch SLIM FAST HIGH PROTEIN isn't that bad. It's not the best but like I said in a pinch it will work.  The one I like best is EAS in the SILVER paper box. You can get them almost anyehere, Kroger, Walmart, KMart, 4 pack for abour $4.99-$6.99. Order samples is the best way to go. Also SOME GNC's will let you return items even if they are opened. ASK and see. Also see if they have any samples.  Good Luck,  Robin

Hi, I'm using egg protein powder(23P) and mix it with soy milk (7P).   I cannot get the whey bullets down.  I also use Atkins RTD in chocolate.  None of them taste good to me. Thankx for posting the question so I can get some tips! M
