Best Ready-to-Drink Protein Shakes
If you have any desire to be lean, strong and healthy – you need to focus on incorporating some quality protein in your diet. Grabbing a protein shake is the perfect low-calorie option to:
- Substitute a meal
- Recover after a workout
- Increase overall daily protein intake
- Help control hunger
While it’s easy to pack a powder and shaker, it doesn’t always happen. Here are some of the best ready-to-drink protein shakes that I often recommend to my clients.
Do you want the exact diet I use with clients to shed body fat? I detail it all in my book – Feast.Fast.Fit. – Train Your Body to Torch Fat, Build Muscle, and Never Diet Again
1.) Pure Protein Shake
- Calories – 150
- Fat – 1g
- Carbohydrate – 1g
- Protein – 35g
This is one of my favorites. The pure protein shake has a good taste and boasts 35g of protein with minimal carbohydrates or fat.
2.) Iconic Grass-Fed Whey – Chocolate Truffle
- Calories – 130
- Fat – 2g
- Carbohydrate – 8
- Fiber – 4
- Protein – 20g
A little low on the protein (mainly for men), but this shake has a great, light taste and the requisite 20g that is needed to build muscle. This definitely has the least “protein” taste.
3.) Premier Protein
- Calories – 160
- Fat – 3g
- Carbohydrate – 5g
- Fiber – 3g
- Protein – 30g
I really like this ready-to-drink shake from Premier Protein. It’s one of the better tasting drinks I’ve had and still provides 30g of quality protein.
4.) Muscle Milk Non-Dairy Shake
- Calories – 160
- Fat – 5g
- Carbohydrates – 9g
- Fiber – 5g
- Protein – 25g
This has a little stronger of a taste than the first few, but it’s still a high quality shake. A little higher in fat and carbohydrates but the added fiber is nice. These are also pretty easy to find at any convenience store.
5.) Zero Carb Isopure Drink
- Calories – 160
- Fat – 0g
- Carbohydrates – 0g
- Protein – 40g
Isopure is definitely the most unique drink of the five. Similar to the shake above, it is not a milk product, so it can be left out or put in the refrigerator. It’s a high quality isolate protein (40g) with zero fat or carbohydrate added. There is a bit of an aftertaste but this is still one of the more popular options.
