Protein Drink

[twe0708]

Just found out my protein drink contains a small amount of wheat - lean body for her. Does anyone take a good protein drink after working out that isn't filled with a bunch of other junk that is good? Thanks!

I make my own in the blender that's gluten-free if you want the recipe??

I love Jay Robb's. It's a bit pricy. But it tastes fantastic and it's gluten-free. Also, it's a better processed protien, cleaner without all that "junk" that others have.

Another option is www.mercola.com, he has a awesome whey powder as well. It's high on the whey chart for me. I can use Jay Robb's whey powder mix, but if you have issues with milk products, lactose or casien mercola's seems to give me a bit of tummy trouble from the whey.

I love all the vanilla powders by Biochem. I get them really cheap from vitacost.com.

They have a vegan one now that I use

i've always liked the isagenix protein shake, my mom got me hooked on them a few years ago. I cant stand the taste of any other shakes! They are gluten free, expensive though!

I am a huge proponent of ALL NATURAL protein powders and have tried several dozen at the food trade shows that I attend each year. I've literally tried 40-50 different varieties.

And the winnah' is..... Nutrabio.com

Do yourself a favor and buy a box of Zip-Lock baggies. Have a baggie at work, in your gym bag, and even in your suitcase when traveling.

A protein shake is essential in building muscle and is a much better "pick me up" than a cup of coffee or a candy bar.

Thanks for the suggestion. I quite possibly may have found a new protein source. And, I'm a magnet to anything organic.

A good lot of Celiac folks are also allergic, or at least intolerant to, Dairy and/or Lactose - This describes me. I have a slew of other food allergies/intolerances, some being rice and soy, so using the usual alternative choices are not an option for me.

I finally found a protein powder that is safe for me to use, so I'd like to share

It is Olympian Labs "Pea Protein". It is part of their Naturopathic Division. The flavor to some might not be what they are use to, but I quickly got use to it without a problem. Here are all of the ingredients:

I have started using this one as well, as I recently discovered a allergy to soy. It's a good protien, it doesn't upset my stomach or taste like Peas..for those of you wondering. It mixes well with other additions and takes on the flavor (PB, fruit, etc). It's a good choice for us troubled tummy people.

I drink the isopure shakes, get the liquid kind not the powdered and I recommend going with either alpine punch (tastes like fruit punch) or apple melon. One bottle has anywhere from 200-260 calories and 40 grams of whey protein. It is gluten-free and smooth and tastes pretty good. Also (unless you have an allergy) try soy protein shakes they tend to pack the most protein per drop. Isopure is great, filling and since 2 out of my 3 meals consist of protein shakes I really recommend it. Its even kept me from passing out.
