Protein Shakes

[jaedba2604]

Currently using the usn pure protein igf-1, stats are as follows:

Amount Per Serving:

Total Calories: 203
Protein: 40g
Total Carbohydrates: 2.24g
-Sugars: 1.2g
-Dietary Fiber: 2g
Fat: 2.3g

Any recommendations for something similar? at the price it's hard to beat, low carbs, which is good. just the flavours are getting a bit monotonous, od'ed on vanilla and alternating between strawberry and chocolate at the moment, but a change would be nice.

not wanting to bulk up massively, just post workout and keeping weight on.

thanks

Surely you want some fast absorbing carbs post workout?

Freeze dried from raw milk, or vegan stuff.

Get unflavoured, blend with some fruit?

[pilchardthecat]

I like Total Protein as is has a mix of whey, milk and casein. It's a little sweet (artificial sweeteners) so i tend to get half/half chocolate/unflavoured and mix it together.

I get post workout carbs from food - fruit, vegetables etc - carbs are so easy to get from a normal diet there is no point supplementing/consuming refined sugar

Any thoughts on pea vs whey? Pea often seems pretty cheap thinking of giving it a whirl.

Pea is vile, and (bro science warning) contains an incomplete amino acid profile

Whirl -> hurl

Word of advise.
Do not buy myprotein lemon cheesecake, it's the worst flavour in the world.

Apologies for my semi-literate response earlier in this thread.... stupid ipad!!

I use True Whey and tend to alternate between mint-choc and choc-orange. I've tried a variety of different brands but I find myprotein the best- decent value, reliable delivery, doesn't make me sprint to the toilet!
