Protein question
I asked questions some time back about protein, and Tom was so kind to give me lots of information. I have greatly increased my protein intake, thanks to Tom. I've bought some small quantities of protein powder at the grocery store and got some samples from a mail-order place, but want to buy a larger quantity. I don't know if it's "Kosher" to ask for brand names, but I'm wondering what brands do fit the 100-calories that Tom suggested. Can anyone help?
I am not sure what the brand at Sam's Club is, sorry. I (with my surgeon's approval/given option ) used Non fat powdered dry milk. They had a formula for how much to add to get the proper grams of protein. I don't think lots of places do that(at least I get funny looks when I tell people that is what I use), so your team may not "allow" that. I did it because it was more cost -effective for me(my husband and I are on Food Stamps). Just my 2 cents worth....sorry...
SEI Pharmaceuticals Ultimate Protein (Don't get Max Protein -- Not as delicious as Ultimate and smells like protein IMO) Eggface has a 20% off coupon code on her blog good all year long as many times as you want to use it (EGGFACE2010).
Also find a place near you that sells Torani Sugar-Free Syrups and stock up on then -- you can make a variety of flavors by adding the syrup (no calories or carbs)
I make flavors like: PEACH PIE, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM, APPLE PIE ALA MODE, PUMPKIN PIE, LEMON CREME, ETC . . .
Having variety helps keep you from getting bored!
I have lots of shake recipes on my blog (see blog address above my ticker in signature)

I like the Cytosport brands. Also another good one seems to be Dymatize.
I would suggest going to Vita Lady and order “samples" from her. You can try a whole assortment, and then find the ones YOU like
