Protein Powder
Any recomendations for a good protein shake or powder? One that fills you up and high in protein, doesn't taste chalky, etc.
Apparently On Whey is good. I personally though stopped using powders a long time ago. I found them not too great, difficult to mix, and with an acceptable though not wonderful taste.
I use this sort of thing now. The link may be a bit slow, but it does work.

Ignore the 75g Carbs, on every bottle I've ever had, It says 50.
This is good for me, as for a limited time after workouts, when Protein consumption can be increased, I can have half of one of these, then go home, and have some food as well, and drink the other half later on.
I used to get another similar kind of one in old gym.
Just a simple drink, with Protein, Carbs, and Maltodextrin. No funny sounding contents, no mixing problems, no messy powder spillages sometimes, better tasting, no possible mixing lumps slowing absorption down etc etc.
I personally wouldn't have Protein Powders again. They are effective, and yes mixing with a fork, reduces Lumps, but for me, it's better having a drink, and then I don't have to store a big tub, or lug it to the gym all the time. The Gym keep drinks in the fridge, I buy them when I go, and 50g of Protein and 50g Carbs, is equivalent in price to 2 Chicken Breasts, so although I get 10 less grams of Protein versus Chicken, I get all those Carbs, so it's good value I think, and worth it over Protein powders.
Though obviously I'm not saying drink those, and ditch Chicken. I like Chicken as well
So if you can find anything like that, on-line, or in stores, might be worth checking drinks out, as opposed to powders, if you want that option.
