Powders:
NitroTech: Strawberry&Banana, Chocolate Cinnamon, and Vanilla

RTDs (canned):
NitroTech Vanilla, and Strawberry

I usually drink them alone, except for last shake of the day (bedtime). It is mixed with 1/2tbsp Olive Oil.

I always make them with water alone, no milk or juice. Sometimes add ice, if using Chocolate Powder. I use the blender for the powders, just open the cans for the RTDs.

All NitroTech is made with Whey, minimal carbs and fat. If I need a meal replacement, I drink 1/2-1 packet MesoTech. It has more carbs and fat in it.

Powder -- I like Optimum Nutrition brand...... I can get a big container for $13 here.... I like the Vanilla & Double Rich Chocolate..... also I get AnyWhey which is non-flavored...

I use a blender with ice & water, sometimes milk....

I don't use shakes a lot as I prefer to have food that I can chew....

I like the Whey Gourmet.
I put ice and berries with the banana and strawberry powder
but my fave is Choc mint with water and lost of ice.

adding olive oil to your shake??? does it taste bad? can you do that with flax seed oil for the omega 3 FA?

while I'm talking about Omega 3 .... if I eat 5 + can's of tuna or salmon, do I still need to suplement with flaxseed oil?

You can't really taste the oil in the shake, especially in the chocolate flavors.... you may feel the oil in your mouth if you add too much -- I did that once, it just poured out LOL so the shake was a little oily, but it wasn't bad tasting or anything....

Are you eating 5+ cans of tuna/salmon per day??

 

[alycat]

Sorry, I meant 5 cans + per week

Sorry, I meant 5 cans + per week

Oh, ok, I was wondering....

Anyway, your body needs EFA's daily, so it's important to get EFA's daily as your body cannot produce them on its own....

Syntrax Nectar. Comes in many fruit flavors. So far I like lemonade and strawberry kiwi. I hate protein shakes and these taste great. I just use ice and water and then shake.

Best part is zero carbs.

You can get it at www.dpsnutrition.com
