Ok, so for about a year now I've been doing the Syntrax Matrix Mint Cookie protein shake daily for my post workout shake. Recently I've been trying Herbalife shakes since they come to my work every Tuesday & they seem to taste pretty good & keep me full for quite some time. Just curious your opinions on the Nutritional facts. I will give the nutritional facts for both that I use. I know that Herbalife has more carbs & sodium than the Matrix, but not by that much. Herbalife is soy based vs Matrix is whey isolate based. I take what everyone says with a grain of salt & everyone has a right to their opinion. Thanks in advance!

Personally I do low carb, high protein.

too many carbs for me

im no fan of soy nor the crazy sodium count.

Check the Herbalife label for whey protein isolate. If it's a blend or concentrate, it's heavy on the milk which can cause gas/bloat.

They syntrax looks better to me.  Higher protein, lower carb, lower calories, and lower sodium.  Plus the protein is whey isolate, which is better quality.
