I finally found a protein shake I LOOOVE
Muscle Milk Light - in the bottle (both the chocolate and the cafe latte flavor!!!!)
The ones in the cartons - they are nasty. I don't like them very much, but the ones in the bottle taste like a completely differerent product.
The latte one is my fav - 14 oz, 160 cal, 9 g carbs, 20 g protein. I think the regular one is 170 cal.
If I didn't need to eat solid food, I'd just drink these all day! But, all things in moderation of course. I will still drink the Premier shakes because they are 30 g of protein for the same calories, but they will be a nice treat a couple times a week. And a healthy treat at that!

The 8oz carton ones taste really weird and have a gross aftertaste. I can drink those more than poweders, but once i tried the bottled ones, i fell in love ;)

I brought some of the chocolate muscle milk powder over the weekend, the first time I mixed it with water and I ended up drinking about 2/3 of it and pouring the rest down the drain. It was too hard to swallow. Anyways a friend of mine said to try it with milk, so I did but I also added a scoop of the slim fast chocolate powder and it was sooo good. So no problem getting that in now, I know it will add extra calories but if this is the only way I can get protein in until I hit mushies or regular food that is the way it is going to be. I have a large tub of strawberry whey that wasn't agreeing with me so I think I will try the strawberry slim fast in it too. I will just try what I can and find a way to make it work. I was to costco finally and only found chocolate or vanilla protein powder, no unflavored or strawberry. I am more of a strawberry flavored person.

No idea, just seen someone on here mention it before as their choice. I just brought a small jug of it to try and totally did not like it mixing it with water but with milk and some chocolate slim fast with it, excellent taste. I will probably try to finish my whey jug off and hopefully I can get use to the taste of some powdered protein drink. I think 9 bucks for 4 carnation instant breakfast is crazy and I wouldn't want to drink them all day.
Really not much of a choice yet, I guess I am going to have to go spend a day at GNC and see what I can find. I just found the last person I talked to there had no idea about protein, carbs and calories and I didn't feel like telling her why I was looking at this stuff.

Not that I've heard. Body builders drink protein supplements to bulk up muscles, but they definitely do not put on fat. They have super crazy low body fat %.

For those of you who have not found a protein drink that you like, try Jay Robb's Whey powder. Blend up with some crushed ice & milk, maybe throw in a little plain yogurt, too.
Personally, I buy the vanilla flavor & add whatever I feel like having that day... frozen peaches and frozen blueberries work great and taste wonderful to me. I have also tried adding Hershey's unsweetened Dark Coco and some Truvia for a wonderful chocolate shake. You can also use instant cappucino powder for a latte flavor. Using the vanilla flavor gives you tons of flavor options, unlike buying the strawberry or orange flavors.
You can buy Jay Robb at some grocery stores, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods or on line. You can buy single serving packets to take to work or just to try the taste. I swear by this stuff! You really have to drink it COLD though.
