What brand of protein powders do you recommend?

i love pvl's whey gourmet, they have alot of different flavors and they taste great. another goodie are the syntrax nectars, they taste like you are drinking juice. you can check them out at www.bodybuilding.com

I read the "subject" and said "NO!!" Protein powders should never replace a meal. You should always incorporate whole foods with your shake.

Sarah aka "Ima",

Thanks! I've never used protein powders before - just looking for some "shake" ideas.

Editing to add that I would be using the shakes for one of my 5-6 small meals per day.

I like spirutein. I get the chocolate peanut butter flavor, and mix 1/2 chocolate silk soy milk, and 1/2 skim milk, with two ice cubes in the blender after a work out. It is delicious!

I use the Beachbody whey protein powder. I have both the vanilla and the chocolate. The chocalate with a cup of skim milk, a half of a banana, and a scoop of peanut butter is like drinking a fantastic dessert !! Love it!!

I'm going more towards using hemp protein powder (a whole food, with a type of protein that is highly digestible, and the most similar to the protein in the human body). I now mix it with Vegan Complete or some yellow pea protein powder (along with a bunch of other stuff: I don't drink it just by itself).

My DH likes the Beachbody Vanilla Whey protein powder (and we tried many brands before he decided that was the one). I like the Vegan Complete and Vega Berry mixed with a scoop of hemp protein powder, berries and bananas.:9

Does whey gourmet require milk or will plain water work?

you can use both with them. just depends on your tastes/ preferences. i have the choc/ pb, which i only like with milk. i also have the vanilla ice cream which to me is fine with water. i also like to add fruit to the vanilla.
