Answers:
In my opinion, the best protein shakes are the ones you make at home with a blender. If you don't have a blender, you can find one pretty cheap at Wal-mart, Target, K-mart, etc. Purchase a good protein powder at a health food store. If you're trying to lose weight, use a whey product, otherwise just regular protein powder is fine. Mix a scoop of the powder with 1-cup milk (skim to lose weight), 1/2-cup plain yogurt, and fruit--fresh or frozen. The shake will be healthy and delicious. You can make a million variations using different fruits, flavorings, instant coffee, chocolate syrup, etc. The web page below has lots of protein shake recipes.

They are mostly geared towards weight loss, so just change the skim milk for regular and the fat-free yogurt for regular. Enjoy!

i always buy sugar free/low calorie chocolate syrup and put in like, less than a tablespoon and its not very many calories at all and it just gives it a different taste so its not so chalky. and yeah i would try to use fat free milk because water makes everything taste more bland and brings out the flavor of the protien powder which is yuck to begin with! ive also tried a little recipe of fat free milk, protien powder, a little squirt of the sugar free choc syrup and a little bit of fat free/ low cal creamer (and they have yummy flavors in that!). sometimes adding more flavors really helps!Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't try to lose weight too fast. Mix them with fresh fruit, or if you don't want the sugar, with sugar free drink mix.
There are also some prepackaged protein shakes with different flavors out there that taste good that you mix with water.Health Question & Answer
