Protein Shakes

I use protein shakes quite a bit to supplement my diet. Would I be better off to stay with Myoplex and/or Met-RX shakes like I have been using, or to use products like "All The Whey Protein" and make my own. It seems a lot cheaper to buy the bulk protein powders and whip up my own. I could also make them higher in protein by using two scoops. Thanks.

Make your own and add 1/2 C. oats to your shake and you have a meal replacement and great PWO shake.

I agree with Jodi.. I wouldnt waste my money on a MRP, just add your own oats(I grind mine to powder form if I put it in a shake) . throw in some EFA's and our set

i thought you would want simple carbs for PWO shake? why the oats?

Not everybody follows the insulin spike method. Many of us don't actually.

these MRP's dont suffice really as most workout anyways if you were intending to create an insulin spike do to the complex carbs in them.
meal replacment shakes are convient when you cant get in a real whole food meal, thats it, its best not to rely on them often.

Was curious how you grind it (the oats) to a powder? Food processor?

Posted by: atherjen

yuo could use that, or I grind mine in my coffee grinder!

If you do decide to buy an MRP go for Lean Mass Matrix or Micellean. There carb is purely complex.

Nothing wrong with the spike. I've done both methods and see no diff.

What is everyone using in their shakes as a liquid? I tried water but that wasnt happening for me. Perhaps due to the vanila flavor of it? Was pretty nausiating (and I have a strong stomach)
I have heard milk is bad, something about breaking down the protein? Is that true? I have been tring heavy wipping cream and water but I still prefere milk as far as taste. (I use skim)

Any ideas?

I currently use milk in my shakes. I am also going to start grinding flax seeds and adding them(1/8 cup) to each shake.

Av8tor- I really liked the Met-Rx shakes. If you have enough money I would recommend taking them. Met-Rx is one of the best products on the market, and when I find a good deal on it I buy it up. Plus from the packets I used I got MORE protein from it than 2 scoops of powder.

I use milk too. I have a milk and egg protein shake in the morning with milk, some crushed ice, a banana, oats, and honey.

I only add water to my shakes---and just down it!!

Its not that bad-- I have a pretty good chocolate protein pwd.

Posted by: burstofspeed

I use water, ice and, and a couple slices of frozen bannas every now and then with my chocolate protien.

I always use water. Milk has 12G sugar per cup.

Posted by: PreMier

Well, I drink 2gal. of milk a week

When I was using vanilla I had to have skim milk with it. Now I have strawberry and I add 1 scoop of swole v2 sweet tart punch, and water works just fine. Tastes like a fruit punch protein shake.

I use water as well. Gotta do the chocolate though. Vanilla is like downing bull jiz. lol

Hmmm, will try that. I am thinking vanila wasnt the best flavor to get now as far as taste. Just something about vanila flavored water

Posted by: plouffe

It taste good as hell with the strawberry flavor.

Milk is not optimal post work out because the protein contained in it slow releasing. But if you put 50/50 water and milk that tastes alrite and like its not going to kill ya. I tried the oats in the shake thing. bah. They just settle to the bottom and you have to like eat soggy oats out of the bottom with a spoon. How do you prevent that?

Shake. Drink. Shake. Drink.
Yea it kinda sucks... If you get high quality protein, then they dont sink to the bottom... Infact they really dont even mix LOL

Posted by: ruggaz

I would much rather take 1/2 a cup of oats cooked and eat them cold.

Just teasin, I do this now beacuse I'm to lazy to break the blender out and clean it.

Thats much more filling though. If I want to be able to eat again soon I can't cook 'em.

And a little trick from keeping the oat from the bottom, shake.....invert shaker and place in mouth.....CHUG!! Never let the oats hit the bottom, they will naturally drop in your mouth.
