what is everyone out there drinking for protein drink? the one i have is 220 calorie per scoop with 25 grams of protein and 3 grams of carbs and tast like BUTT!!!!!! does anyone drink one that taste pretty decent and has less calories more carbs???? suggestions, please.... i need to stop eating my protein bar, i just realized that i'm not moving probably because of my carb intake and the bars have 37 grams of carbs.... ewwwwwwwww

I like Walker Diet.  It has, in two scoops serving, 175 calories, 7 g carbs and 24 g protein.  you can order from Vitacost.com.  It is on sale for 8.95. for 18.5 oz container.  It taste good to me and has vitamins in it too.  I like to put one scoop in a cup of warm water.  It makes a good warm drink.  If you ge****er too hot it changes texture.  Also I put my powdered Upcal D in the cup, too BTW I have a daughter in SD area.  She lives in Cardiff by the Sea.   Patricia 262/130 rny 3/2005   

I have to have my morning coffee, so I add a scoop of GNC banana-creme flavor to my coffee.  I let the coffee sit for a couple of minutes to cool before slowly stirring in the powder.  One scoop has these stats: Calories: 110 Fat: 1.5(1 is Sat Fat) Protein: 20 Carb: 4(2 are sugar) I use this for my morning starter meal, then throw down a cheese stick (or two) around mid-morning.  Depending on the brand of cheese, I am able to consume 35-40g protein and about 220-250 calories before noon, plus less than 6g carbs! Julie p.s. I buy the protein the 1st week of the month, buy one, get one 1/2 off....so, I spend less than $20 for over a month's worth of protein supplement.  This supplement gives me 1/3 of my protein daily requirement, so that's a GREAT deal, money-wise!!!

  Gina: Hi!  I use body fortress whey protein which I buy at WalMart.  It costs  around $12-$13 dollars for a 2 lb jug.  It has 110 calories, 23 gm protein, and 1 gm carbohydrates for 1 scoop.  I usually buy chocolate.  I mix it in water and I think it tastes fine.  Of course it tastes better in milk, but I use water to save calories.  I think tastes are highly individual, but I like it.  Good luck!!   DeeAnn

That's exactly what I buy - and like it just fine, especially at that price - wondered if anybody else used those - I put the chocolate (vanilla sometimes) in warm/lukewarm coffee with sweet-n-low or Splenda and actually really enjoy - DeAnna (like your name ! LOL)

I like the Nectar brand protein by Syntrax. The fuzzy navel flavor is awesome! I mix it with about 12 oz of crystal light for added flavor. Yummmm!!!!!! You can buy it at any Vitamin Shoppe, instead of hassling with ordering it on-line.  Hope this helps! Lyn

And oh yeah......(duh.....) 90 calories, 23 protein, zero carbs, zero sugar. You can't beat that! Lyn

I use the Nectar Fuzzy Naval with Peach Crystal Light, and I also use Muscle Milk Light 8.5 oz 160 Calories 9 Carbs 20 Proteins

does anyone drink one that taste pretty decent and has less calories more carbs???? what i meant to say was less calories and less carbs????? i'm such as dumb BUTT that nectar one sounds awesome no carbs... i might have to stop by the store.. =) thx everyone lmk what else is out there

The only powdered Protien drink I can stand is the Isopure Dutch Chocolate. 2 scoops has 210 calories 2 g carbs and 50 g of protien.  I usually only do one scoop at a time and mix it with 8 oz. of water. (found at vitamin shoppe)  Sometimes when I am mixing it I will put in a tablespoon of International Coffee Sugar Free Decaf Suisse Mocha instant coffee and pour it over ice.  Its like having an iced coffee.  Yum! I also use Pure Protien's bars and ready to drink shakes. http://www.pureprotein.net/ the shakes have 160 -170 calories,  2-4g carbs and 35g protien for an 11oz. shake. (found at vitamin shoppe) the bars (the 50 g size NOT the big ones) have 190 calories 17g-19g of carbs and 20g of protien.  (you can find these at Walmart - the larger one are at the vitamin shoppe) I HATE almost all other protien.  I did ok with the Power Crunch bars for a while but they made me nauseous after using them for a couple of weeks.  Too sweet I think.  They have 180-190 calories, 9-10g or carbs and 14 grams of protien.
