posted this in the wrong area, thought I would get more responses here.


I did a search and read everything posted here about good, cheap, protein drinks. I see it recommended everywhere for people who are busy. I myself am looking and I am wondering if anyone has something better/cheaper.

Here is what I did years ago.

I checked the nutritional info on EAS Myoplex Original(for bodybuilders) and Myoplex lite(weightloss). Myoplex lite is what I needed. It has half the protein, carbs, fat etc.

I would buy the Myoplex Original, (single serving packets) and make 2 servings out of each packet(instead of one serving) It still tasted awesome and it had what Myoplex lite had. I still take a multi-vitamin.

Right now, I found a site that has Myoplex orginal priced at $57.89 for 42 packets..thats about $1.38 per serving. Cutting it in half as I do, it's only about $0.69 for me.

I haven't heard anyone using Myoplex. Does anyone like it as much as I do?

I did notice some differences in brands Thngs like glutamine and aminogen are added to theirs. Is there something I am missing?

I use Myoplex and I buy the reg and do just what you do, cut the portion in half. I think the stuff is great I love the creamy texture and when I blend it with crushed ice it is almost like going to Dairy Queen. My fav is the Choc. Mocha. Great meal replacement when on the go. I also have added Glutimine and my creatine to it when loading. I have also added left over cold coffee to the mocha favor for a little extra boost.

:) Do they still have bits of strawberry in it? Its been awhile. I remember I loved drinking them.

(just wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration, sandysford!)

I am thinking about trying the whey protein supplement from Optimum Nutrition. It is cheap enough. Does anyone think it tastes good?

Vitamin World has their own brand that is 20 bucks for 80 servings. (Choc, Straw, or Vanil)20 g protein per serving and I usually just double up to get that of myoplex. 40 servings of myoplex is far more expensive the the 20 bucks that Vitamin World's cost.
