What's a good protein shake for breakfast?

[brooklynlex]

Hey I want to buy a protein shake with all different types of slow absorbing proteins for a breakfast shake. I was thinking of maybe muscle milk? Cany anyone suggest something?

[Audioslave]

Prolab Lean Mass Matrix, or VPX Micellean.

[Jwillbc55]

Do yourself a favor and try the Labrada Instant Breakfast Shakes (Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Blueberry)

[jasontw]

pro lab lean matrix dont get bannana/strabbarry though

i just began to take it but i luv Muscle Milk in the morning.

[Warrior13]

I would say muscle milk also.. all the flavors are delicious.. Any cheap protein powder will do the job also (Designer or ON 100% protein) just add in some fruit and PB and youre good to go.

[brooklynlex]

Thanks for the suggestions!!! I am going to research all of them and make my decision. You guys are really helpful. Reps.

Immediatley upon waking you may want a whey shake just to get protein into your body immediately. After that follow with a good blend. My recommendation, as well as from many well respected members on this board is ultra-peptide. Much better than Muscle Milk and taste as good IMO.

It can also be had for around $20.00 if you look around. GOOGLE it.

Any type of whey would be fine...

[uhockey]

Syntrax Matrix is a good cheap blend, Nutrabolics Isobolic is an expensive but high quality and tasty blend, and Xtreme Formulations Ultrapeptide is a delicious casein based product that could be used as well but is better suited as a pre-bed shake.

I mix my own. One heaping scoop of casein protein, another or Strawberry ON Natural whey & 2 scoops of Carbogain maltodextrin.

45 g of fast and slow digesting protein.

60g of complex carbs.

Waaaaay cheaper than any pre made mix. Plus I know exactly what I'm getting.

Oh, and did I mention it tastes better than any mrp I've ever had?

I actually have 2 of these a day. Pre and post workout I just use the ON Whey alone and before bed just Casein & carbs with a half a scoop of ON added for the enzymes.

[Drew1200]

My morning shake consists of...

around 25g of whey

2-3 egg whites

milk!


its alot of protein all at once but I think the milk slows down the digestion, and eggs are supposedly one of the slowest digesting longest lasting sources of amino acids you can find. hope this helps

[2SCRAWNY]

muscle milk

[Contract Killer]

^ Nice. I don't see what the fascination is with thse matrix/blend shakes. After a 9 hours sleep, the last thing I want is a slow digesting protein. I have a double scoop of whey with juice the second I get up, after about 15 minutes my breakfast is ready and I chow down on 6 eggs, toast, oatmeal and fruit.

Make your own from rolled oats or steel cut oats with a whey protien isolate/concentrate and or use a whey protien BLend with some healthy fats for a quick meal

[evilsteve02]

i thought u just needed something that was fast acting.....so i'd take optimum 100% whey

[armz_ha]

Prolab Lean Mass Matrix, or VPX Micellean.

do you guys consider prolab lean mass matrix to be expensive to be supplementing with?

[cakedonkey]

Whey + oats + milk.

No need for anything fancy. That will get the job done and then some.

[Omid]

i really like to do oatmeal with whey protein in it, but if you're on the go, you might try whey protein with oats in a blender, throw in a banana maybe for some extra taste.

[-Ironside-]

I just ordered 4 cases of muscle milk. I usually take 1 in the morning before breakfast than one before bed.

[Sickofblending]

i say no protien shakes for breakfast. egg whites/wheat bread/oatmeal. then 1/2 to 2 hrs later, then drink your protien shake

[Abu Misho]

Dymatize Mega Milk is great,the ingredients are 100% like Muscle Milk except for the Chromium and Potassium,the main difference is the price,go with the 5 pounder of Mega Milk and you'll be fine.i wonder why people are still buying muscle milk while there is a cheaper product with the same ingredients and quality ?!!

[yankees42885]

yah i would def recommend whole food... there is no reason that you cant wake up 15 mins early to prepare eggs and oatmeal... however if do run into times where u are on the run, i would agree with some of these guys in that the lean body breakfasts (blueberry; banana= not too good)
i think they are 390 cals, 7 grams of fat, 40 g of protein and 35 grams of mostly whole carbs (6 sugars)

[Audioslave]

do you guys consider prolab lean mass matrix to be expensive to be supplementing with?

Expensive? Possibly. But worth it.

[jdiritto]

I drink a protein shake first thing when im awake than eat eggs like 2-3hr later when im at work and can get a cook to make an omellete for me..

if im at home i eat eggs first than drink a shake 2-3hr later.


correct me if Im wrong...but wouldnt whey be ideal for the am shake? since your body is thriving for protein after a long sleep (even if your taking casein pre bed), and I believe whey is absorbed quickest out of all the proteins ...right?
thanks

You really don't need those expensive casein blends. This is what I do with my hand blender, it both tastes awesome and is very nutritious, just like a breakfast should be:

- 2 scoops of unflavored WPC 80%
- Skim milk
- Rolled oats (make sure you let them soak for 1-2 minutes so they get mixed better with the blender)
- A handful of peanuts or almonds (yes, actual nuts, not butter)
- Sugar free pudding powder to flavor as I like (it also has inulin and some other fibers in it, and the xanthan gum makes the shake so creamy).
- Optional : a banana.

I can have this shake all day every day.

[jdiritto]

sounds good.. i might try it someday i bought a blender like a year ago cause mens health and the abs diet where all about making shakes and smoothes and all..and i think i've used it 3-4x...twice i know were to grind up flaxseed.

thanks for the info!
