I did get a sample with Bodybeast, but I wasn't crazy about the stuff. I think I have heard that many do like it, but for me, it seemed like something that expands in the stomach to make you feel full. I am trying to gain size and strength, so I don't want to feel full. I use a product called Premier Protein, it is pre made and has 30 grams of protein (whey). I keep them in the fridge and they are ready to go! I buy them at Costco and Sams, and they are less than a buck and a half apiece. I am not a nutritionist, and basically am just looking at protein and calories,( by the way ,only 160 of those) It comes in chocolate. vanilla and strawberries and cream...I like the chocolate best! I am trying to get at least 1 gram protein/ lb of bodyweight /day, and this stuff really helps...no blender required! Good luck!
