Protein Shakes

so which brand n flavor u like? make it at home or get the grab-ready-to-go kind a shake? If make it at home then just follow the instructions or mix something on ur own as well?

I use GNC’s strawberry flavor with addition to one whole banana n couple strawberries in the shake. Makes it taste better than just drinking medicine/tonic.

what about you guys?

Re: Protein Shakes

i use both...ready made which i use if im in a hurry (which tastes awful) and I use powder as well. I use the GNC brand....vanilla flavor. I add fresh fruits to it along with some milk.

Re: Protein Shakes

^ ^ some one told me you should not take it with milk.... just use plain water...
btw vanilla eh :( ... r u american?
banana is the best..

Re: Protein Shakes

are protien shakes effective???no side effects??and are they expensive or reasonable?

Re: Protein Shakes


y not with milk?

I drink protein shake b/c I don't get protein in my diet everyday b/c dont find halal meat around. Other than that, need it for b4 n after workout everyday. So far I didnt grow any extra eye or arm or leg ... no side effects here.

About effectiveness - well when u workout your muscles demand more protein to get toned n hypertrophied. So, yes depends how u take it - it does work.

so share some good recipes of protein shakes alongwith the calorie count...or do u like any ready-made one then do share the brand name...

but plz all natural ingredients..no whey protein and other protein powders...i have never had any of these..

Re: Protein Shakes

I've tried the Gen Soy chocolate (soy protein) shake with spirulina from GNC. It's not bad if you blend the shake with some crushed ice.

Re: Protein Shakes

Natures Plus Spirutien is a great protein shake- have never delved into these kinds of supplements but due to a busy and hectic lifestyle- its a replacement meal made with soy products- its actually quite good- havnt gained weight or lost any - the strawberry and chocolate is lovely!!! So far alhamdolilah no negative side effects!!

I use the same in chocolate :)

Re: Protein Shakes

Nice one redvelvet!!! How u finding it?? Im on the vanilla flavour- it goes green when you mix it!!!!!!!!!!!! I much prefer the chocolate- also had the choclate peanut butter swirl- was ok - strawberries my fav though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Protein Shakes

I prefer powders that I mix myself, less issue with preservatives aavoid canned stuff.

This is the one I like.

www.proteinfactory.com, specifically the "Iso-Chill Whey Isolate",
You can custom design your own protein shake here as well.

Strawberry is my favorite flavor in milkshakes....however I haven't tried strawberry in Spirutein. The chocolate one is nice. I blend the powder with ice and skim milk and it turns out frothy and nice. It's do-able :)

ok what u people think of this one or any such containers of protein mix???
