Protein Shakes.......

Hi Kali! Its a very personal taste but I use Dave Draper's Bomber Blend or ProBlend55 and I've recently purchased Grow! Low Carb. This one is very much like drinking a cake batter if you like that kind of consistency. ProBlend55 will give you the most protein 55g. I use this one for when I'm doing my cutting up diet. Best, Kathy
For a dose of protein after working out, I like Body Tech's Whey Tech (have only tried it in vanilla) and I bought Pro Blend 55 which is supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it yet.
For a quick meal on the go, I really like Keto Shake (Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Egg Nog are good, don't care for some of the fruity flavors although Strawberry and Orange aren't too bad) and Spirutein (Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies & Cream!).
I know a lot of people often add fruit to their protein powders. I was one of them, but I found I actually gained weight and felt bloated when I added a banana, berries or whatever to my morning shake. After further research I learned that protein shakes that are higher protein/lower carb are specially formulated that way and you can disrupt the balance/digestion by adding fruit since it can be high in sugar and carbs. You are defeating the purpose. It's best to eat fruit alone, give at least an hour before and an hour after eating fruit in order to avoid digestive problems like gas, bloating, etc.
Sorry I got off the topic, but just wanted to share that in case anyone was interested.
