I need a good tasting low cal protein shake
I have only tried one shake ~~ and I didn't think it was bad ~~ matter of fact it was pretty tasty for a "protein" shake I thought. It is the Atkins Advantage Shake. I tried the Strawberry Supreme and have heard that the "chocolate" one is pretty good as well. I drank if over ice.
Here are the stats...1 can = 11 oz
170 calories (80 from fat)
9g Fat
Cholesterol 15mg
Sodium 170mg
Potassium 580mg
Total Carbs 5g
Dietary Fiber 3g
Sugars 1g
PROTEIN 20g
I know this sounds really gross, but I mixed baby food meat with applesause. I think there only 8 grams of protein in a 2 oz jar of baby food, but I figured it was better that nothing. My surgeon did`nt recommend the protein drinks for the vbg patients. I actually came to kind of like it.I know. I`m weird.
I'm still looking for a good one myself. I brought one called Designer Whey (Tropical Punch) at GNC this weekend, it was awful. Another $12.50 wasted. Before that I brought Soy Protein I think by EAP or something like that in a dark purplish-blue container. It was chocolate and awful. I'm still looking though because a protein smoothie with a cup of nonfat yogurt is like 30 grams of protein.
I am using Low carb Isopure in chocolate. It is available at Smoothy King. It is also available in carb free but I hate the taste.
210 cal, 50 grams Protein, Not the greatest taste but drinkable. I add a little vanilla or almond extract to improve flavor. I also cut liquid to 8 oz. and serve it cold. I chill the water with ice before making it and serve it over ice.
I drink it for breakfast, and eat about 2-3 oz of meat for lunch and dinner.
Hope this helps.

I have been drinking a protein shake every morning for years due to: I am not a breakfast eater. Here are a few things I do and the drinks are really good. I will start with my favorite sugar free drink like diet snapple or diet air. (What ever you enjoy) Then add about 5 frozen strawberries and ice cubes with any vanilla soy powder. Oh yeh, I will add 1/2 cup of water to it. Makes about 16-20 oz's and get me going all morning. Let me know how you make out.
