GNC Protein Shake suggestions?

make33 · January 9, 2008

It's so funny because everyone is SO different! I DO use the Unjury unflavored Protein in sugarfree, fatfree instant pudding (I double up on the protein, so I get 15 grams per 1/3 cup serving).

But I am still sold on the belgian chocolate whey protein isolate powder I get from Amazon.com (with free shipping). Mixed in just Water, it just tastes terrific at 21 grams of protein per scoop in 6 ounces of water. (and sometimes I'll add 1 1/2 scoops if I've been unable to get all my protein in during the day) One shake mid-morning and one mid-evening do a body good!!

Now, if you want to talk nasty, I really have yet to find a canned shake that doesn't tast tinny--yuck! BUT CONVENIENT, I'll grant you!

I bought some of the GNC Protein Shakes - they have a variety pack. They have 300 Calories and 50 grams of Protein and a plethora of Vitamins. They are VERY filling - one shake keeps be full for about 5-6 hours. I am drinking a chocolate one now and it tastes pretty good. I also drink the Isopure clear drinks to keep up the variety. I hear costco has a Protein Shake that is pretty tasty as well. I haven't tried that yet.

Isopure is sold by the each or by the case at GNC and The Vitamin Shoppe, individually they are quite expensive but it beats buying a case of stuff that makes you gag.

I have tried the Alpine Punch (like the best), Pinapple-Banana-Orange (liked it originally but came to not like it unless it had Crystal Light in it).

I also tried the Blue Raspberry and could not finish it.

I use pink or yellow lemonade Crystal Light.

I strongly recommend the Muscle Milk Lite too, the chocolate Mint does not sound that great but it is GREAT, it tastes like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie in milk.
