protein drinks

[surgtech1956]

Are there any good 'protein drinks', either you make your own or buy aready made? Thanks

I use Beverly Nutrition's Muscle Provider (Chocolate Flavor) protein powder to make my shakes. You just mix one scoop with water.

I drink one after every hard workout.

Very, very healthy and they taste just like Nesquik Chocolate Milk.

The only problem is that the powder is expensive. I pay $34.95 for 2 pounds - enough for 32 shakes.

But I think that they are worth the cost.

The cheapest place to buy them is online at DPS Nutrition.

i really like isopure.
it says that 2 scoops is a serving, but that is 50 grams and your body can't handle that much at once, so i use one scoop.

it has a good taste(right now i have the peach mango flavor), it disvolves really easily in water, and is 100% whey protein.

yogurt smoothies are nice.

Throw some plain yogurt and frozen fruit and milk (and sugar if you want it) into a blender and buzz it.

Sometimes I add a blob of tofu if I want a little extra oomph.

Rock on! That's my favorite post-workout drink as well, at least when it's warm out. I add a shot of honey to sweeten it.

I do so want to hear that chocolate milk is the perfect recovery drink - yum

I either do a yogurt smoothie that comes in a bottle (anything involving the blender is too complex after riding for me) or chocolate milk made with skim milk, with a pinch of salt.

After this weekend's century ride (my first ) I downed my las Gu Gel after I finished and it seemed to make a really big difference - no muscle aches or twitches to report at all. I was very happily surprised.

That's too funny, that is EXACTLY what I use is the Beverly International Choc Muscle Provider also. They sponsor my dad in his bodybuilding comps, so I get a good deal on it, but it's worth every penny.
You can also make a brownie out of them, for those sweet tooth cravings!

Does anyone know of a commercially available vegan protein powder? Every one I've found had casein and/or whey in it.

Thanks for the lead michelem, it has albumin protein which is from eggs so still no dice for me. I've been searching but think I'm going to end up making an at-home version with fruit and soy milk.
