It is good to have a pre and post workout meal. Protein is important after workouts to build lean muscle. I have tried various protein shakes and have been surprised at how disgusting most of them really taste. I decided to do a review of three different products.

Entrecard has a new marketplace that allows you to buy products with EC credits. I’m featuring a few of the nutrilite protein shakes in the marketplace. Here is my listing.  If you would like to get a great deal for a trial, just stop by my listing and use your entrecard credits and I will ship it directly to your door. Here is a great Entrecard video:

The Nutrilite product is the best tasting protein shake out of the three listed here. There are 0 sugars and the calorie count is low along with a powerful punch of protein.

The Muscle Milk product is so sweet that I almost spit this out of my mouth when I first tried it. The calorie count is really high although the protein count is higher, I tend to stay away from this one.

The LaBrada Lean Body Protein Shake comes in a close 2nd place to the Nutrilite product. It has comparable calorie count and low sugar content. The taste is great and this is my backup when I’m out of my Nutrilite product.
