What kind of protein shake do you use?

[Pitbull_88]

I was just wondering what kind of shake people use or have used in the past.
What was the best and what was the worst.
And what is the nutritional info on it.
Calories?
Protein?
Fat?
Carbs?

I absolutely love Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Chocolate Mint, it tastes good which makes it easier to use.
Calories-110
Fat 1.5 grams
Carbs 3 grams
Protein 23 grams

I mix this with whole milk when I am bulking. Presently I am bulking so I drink alot of these shakes every day.

I really like Optimum Nutritoin 10% whey Chocolate. It has the same Nut panel as above. I tastes decent in water. I always throw mine in a blender with some frozen melon and it makes a nice cold smoothie after working out. When I am bulking I throw some milk in there and some penut butter with a touch of ice cream. yummmyyyy

I just bought a 5 lb tub of PVL 100% iso maxx...flavour is gourmet rasperry...it was on sale so i decided to get it....it was 50 bucks for the tub from 129 bucks....

per 36 mg serving:
136 cal
32 g protein
.8g fat
1g carb

my next order is gonna be optimum nutrition....the 10 lb bags....

[syko]

but the thing i look for is ammt of protein per serving....coz the more the better in my oppenion!

[pipes]

Right now I'm using a 10lb tub of concentrate.
Per scoop 24gm protein, 5 grams carbs, 2 gm fat
I like chocolate because it tastes better with water than vanilla.

[trendkill]

ON here as well. seems to be the fav among users here.

[rjx]

Right now I have 100% whey ( vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) ... Syntrax nectar strawberry kiwi ... cytosport muscle milk (chocolate peanut-butter, strawberry) ... and I have a few custom protein factory blends.

My favorite tasting is the Nectar strawberry kiwi. The best over all value I have had is the 100% whey.

The other day I got a strawberry kiwi gatorade at the gym and mixed a few scoops of strawberry kiwi nectar in the blender for my post workout shake and it was so ****ing good.

It's not just the amount of protein per serving because scoop sizes vary. You have to divide the protein amt by the scoop capacity. So far I found ON to have the best protein percentage, but I'd swear I just bought 10 lbs of fart powder.

[Pitbull_88]

How big is the serving of Optimum Nutrition?

[tatu]

28.4 g in the serving out of which 23 is protein. 81% protein per scoop.

[FunnyMonkey]

OPtimum Nutrition has the highest percentage. Really good stuff for like 25 bucks. Check out www.dpsnutrition.com

[Bast]

Optimums stuff for sure!!! AST´s Vp2 is also good.

[nabiller]

i use allthewhey isolate
28g per serving
25g protein
1g carb
.6g fat
104 calories

[Xchus]

I use Black Star Labs Whey Protein Concentrate, Orange Cream, with just milk the flavor is OK, if you mix it with a banana and 2 scoops of peanut butter the taste is unbeatable, I used to drink ON's 100% Whey Vanilla but I can't stand the flavor, not even with different fruits, peanut butter, oatmeal, etc......

[joltan]

all the whey. cheap and tasty

Optimum Nutrition doesn’t really have the highest percentage of protein.

Optimum Nutrition: 28.4g per serving /23g of protein = 80.99%
LTN: 45g per serving /39g of protein = 86.67%

I have been drinking cytosport's EvoPro this last week (i'm drinking it as I type this). JEEBAS! This stuff tastes so GOOD! I got the apple and cookies n cream. The cookies n cream is so good that I crave drinking it hehe

26g PROTEIN

3g L-GLUTAMINE

ONLY 3g CARBS

ZERO TRANS FAT/LOW SATURATED FAT

MICELLAR CASEINS

MORE COMPLETE THAN WHEY

ADDED GLUTAMINE PEPTIDES


An important note about micellar caseins, L-glutamine, and lactoferrin. CytoSport researchers believe, and there is
significant scientific agreement in support of the fact, that these intact, native, non-denatured,
bioactive milk components, as they are included here in EvoPro, offer maximum
bioavailability and lean muscle supporting benefits.

Intense exercise causes a dramatic rise in free radicals and a simultaneous depletion of the amino acid pool, particularly L-glutamine. These events cause inflammation, damage to muscle tissue, protein catabolism,
and fatigue. Lactoferrin helps your body fight free radical damage, while the rich, extended amino acid pool concentration,
supported by micellar caseins and an abundance of L-glutamine, assure the availability of these nutrients critical to muscle tissue repair and recovery.

THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE MUSCLE MILK FAMILY
EVOPROTM is the protein inside famous MUSCLE MILK, the world’s best tasting, ultimate lean muscle formula. EVOPRO was formulated by the ultimate protein designer, NATURE, to be maximally anabolic and anti-catabolic.
We believe EVOPRO is the most powerful, clinically complete, perfect protein ever
available.

STOKE YOUR FAT BURNING FURNACE
Four or five small servings during the day is the ideal way to stay anabolic all day long.Never hungry, more energetic. Combining this small portion technique with resistance and weight training will help promote lean muscle mass, the very element crucial to burning stubborn, stored fat.

WAKE UP SLEEPING GROWTH RECEPTORS
Surprise! Studies show taking in mothers’ milk factors can wake up inborn growth receptorseven in adults. These growth receptors, which help boost immunity and growth in infants, are ‘turned on’ to exert anabolic metabolism. Whether you’re 4 or 44, these growth receptors are ready to be awakened, and lactose free EVOPRO is the best way.

BEATS WHEY ALONE
Whey is great! Problem is, it’s only part of mother’s milk–the gold standard anabolic formula. We believe (so does Nature) that whey works best when complexed with micellar casein. That’s why mother’s milk contains both. A popular misconception, touted mostly by the ‘whey guys’, is that whey is better because it is absorbed faster. In fact, it is a
casein fraction that first empties from your stomach after ingestion, not whey. In total, whey is faster acting, while micellar casein releases protein, peptides and aminos more slowly. The point is, together, whey and casein provide protein coverage superior to either whey or casein individually.

OPEN YOUR ANABOLIC WINDOW
Anabolic window is the period of time in which muscle growth potential is greatest. When the window is open, protein (muscle
growth) synthesis can occur. Positive nitrogen balance and IGF-I are at their peak. When the window closes, you go into negative nitrogen balance and a catabolic state. EVOPRO keeps your personal window open longer by delivering
the ultimate protein team – whey and micellar caseins.

THE POWER OF PEPTIDES
Glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in human milk, is also highest in EVOPRO at three grams per serving. Glutamine protects muscle, improves recovery, boosts immunity and more. We take glutamine a step further by delivering most of this amino powerhouse in it’s bio-active peptide form. Glutamine peptides have been shown to greatly increase absorption compared to this amino in it’s free form.

Myo-Pro Whey chocolate by EAS...I get it real cheap, it mixes good, and tastes good.

[faze]

isopure zero carb protein shake... i can take it while on and off CKD all i change is the mixer... water or milk... with water it tastes like ass hair but... you gotta do what you gotta do.

[huskyguy]

I think the protein supplements taste best mixed with whole milk, Chocolate Mint tastes like girl scout thin mints--I love it.
