Protein Shakes

buy muscle milk. its by far the best tasting. I add fruit, about 8 oz of 0% milk and a couple small scoups of no fat ice cream. it works for me. Also, you can get jello no-bake cheese cake instant mix and use a scoop of the powder in the shake also, that is if you like cheesecake.

I'd use Optipro Whey. It's far less calories tham MuscleMilk. I'd just mix in some natural peanutbutter, lowfat milk, and maybe a banana.

MuscleMilk, IMO, is better for teens and young college students. If that's what you are and have a high metabolism, go for it.

Absolutely. Blends very well and also mixes well.

:kige:

the original musclemilk is over priced. now getting muscle milk collegiate or the large bottles are better.

i would highly recommend Isopure protein made by Natures Best.
- It is pure whey protein isolate, not a whey blend like most other proteins.
- Most flavors have zero carbs, chocolate is considered "low carb" w/ 2-3g per serving
- This stuff mixes very easy with no clumping
- Dont buy it from GNC or they will rip you off ($50) If you do some shopping on the net, you can find a 3lb tub for less than $35.
- The only flavors i have tried are chocolate and chocolate mint and they were both great.
I honestly find i recover faster and am less sore when i use this stuff, no BS

agreed - they have the best tasting protein mixes out there

and also, the most fattening

of all the ones I've tried, I have never gained so much gut fat like I did on muscle milk - and anyone I've talked to that's way more knowledgeable on this stuff will agree, that shite is for high school students - not adults


100% Gold, Wheybolic Extreme and Pro Nos are the 3 I've had success with as a post-workout meal


with the best results from Pro-Nos. While 100% Gold and Wheybolic were fairly good at building muscle mass, there was no change to fat burn.

but with, Pro-Nos, not only did I put on more lean muscle, there was a measurable loss of belly fat

for whatever reason, I'm completely sold on whatever MRI puts out. It's more agreeable with my metabolism more than anything else out there.

I use it as a meal replacement in the morning for breakfast. I use the myoplex lite as my post workout shake. I work and workout at the hospital, I can't get to a blender....

Apparently you don't do enough cardio fatass... No need to question my intelligence on the subject. I have a degree in exercise science and a BSN

well excuse us....

and cardio sucks, and it's tough if you work 60 hour weeks to have time to do good cardio. I walk or bike to work everyday, bike at least every other weekend for a few hours, but it's tough to make time. Don't belong to a gym, no yard, work too late to join sports leagues.

i usually a banana, thing of lowfat yoguet, handful of raw almonds, lowfat milk, protein powder and a spoon of dry oatmeal mix. if i have some berries sitting around i'll add some. how is that? i only add peanut butter if i am going for a meal replacement after a morning workout....don't add peanut butter at night.

I like Optimum Nutrition Whey

I get the chocolate. I've tried the strawberry and that is also good

Sometimes I'll add half a banana but I usually just mix it with water

So, to be sure- I went ahead and re-read the thread....

I have a degree in exercise science and a BSN........The one thing I don't have time to do is research all the supplements....I personally just like to by stuff that is approved by most athletic associations

---

....you're making this too easy

I personally like to report on actual results based on my experience....crazy, I know

"approved?" - as in "we know it doesnt kill you" approved??

He just asked for a good tasting protein and I let him know.....

as did I

(a) Muscle Milk tastes great - probably the best on the market
(b) I personally gained unwanted weight and have had others confirm what I feel to be the case - it's not bad for you, persay, but it doesnt produce the results I'm looking for

FYI- I exercise 3 to 5 days a week with at least an hour of cardio each time I visit the gym with moderate weight training


but, as you see- that has no bearing on my original post
