Have you tried Body Fortress from Walmart? 33 grams of protein for 1 scoop and $15 for 2 lbs. Its my favorite. Regardless of price.

This has 20g per scoop compared to Jay Robb's 23g per scoop. I did not break it down, but seems to me 3 to 1 scoop might still be more in the long run pricewise. Jay Robb really is the best quality wise. I know this one is on sale at GNC today, though. I'd break it down price per scoop and go with what works best for you nutritionally and moneywise. Good luck!

May I ask why you don't just come up with a protein forward meal plan? There is plenty you can eat that will keep you on top of your protein without the supplements.

The very same will that can drive you to drink shakes all day can be channeled into eating fish and chicken breast and cottage cheese and yogurt.Just wondering the rationale.

Cleo is right. Besides, liquids move through your pouch quickly and you'll be wanting something else to "eat" soon. Now, if you were running behind on calories for the day, and needed something protein dense, then yes, a shake might be a food way to "catch up" that day.
