Question:
Which would be the best protein shake to buy?

I live here in Mexic City and there are no protein sup. available. I am traveling to Houston and I would love to buy some protein dirnks. I would appreciate any sugestions I wont have time to try them. Thanks    — maureenmosti (posted on April 16, 2002)

Hello! Everyone has a different opinion as to what is a "good protein drink" ... they can get costly to say the least especially when you end up throwing most of it away due to the awful taste of some. My best advice is to go to www.vitalady.com and order some samples. Try them out and then purchase the bigger containers of it.. Will save you a lot of money in the long run!!! GOOD LUCK!

Every ones answer to this question will be different because we all have different taste buds. I like KETO shakes and you can get them online at www.ketofoods.com they have all kinds of yummy flavors that taste like ice cream to me. I mix 4ox of water and 4oz of ice with 2 scoops of the powder in a blender untill it is smooth and i love it. Good Luck! Nancy

My favorite is premixed Myoplex from GNC, comes in choc., vanilla, & strawberry. I also like the Myoplex bars, Pure Protein bars are not so bad either :) Isopure has a protein drink similar to 'Crystal Light' that's good, but hard to find. Like the other posters stated though, order from the web, it will definately be less expensive and you can get free samples from some sites. Enjoy your trip to our beautiful state!!!

I just bought two different kinds yesterday. One was what the sales lady said was her most popular. It looked familliar to me as I have seen a huge stock of it at GNC. It is made by Optimum Nutrition and says Natural 100%WHEY protein. I got the vanilla because you can mix it with several different flavors. I liked this one so much more than the other one I bought called Designer Whey. I have HAD to mix this one with a flavor because the taste is really bad. I also like Extreme Pure Pro for something different. It is a grape flavored protein drink, much like Kool-aid but a tad bit thicker. I am going to buy the 5 lb. container of the Optimum Nutrition Whey because I like it so much. And you might want to check prices at bodybuilding.com Their prices are the best that I have found. Do your own comparing. My 1 pounder of Optimum Nut. cost me $12.78 at the store, and I can get the 5 pounder for like $23 plus 4.99 s&h. It ends up much cheaper than the local stores, and they deliver to your door within 2-3 days. Protein content of each: Optimum Nutrition Natural WHEY 22gr/scoop. Designer Whey 18.5 gr./scoop. Extreme Pure pro 26 gr./scoop. Hope you find one that you like.

Had to put my two cents in here... I would HIGHLY recommend trying a bunch of different ones before you buy large amts to try. Vitalady.com saved me by having all those samples to try prior to buying the big jugs. My personal favorites: Sci Fit lemonade smoothie or strawberry icecream and ProLab wildberry. Trust me...try them all to find one. We MUST get our protein in!
