Trader Joes

I recently went to Trader Joes and bought some Worldwide Pure Protein Skakes at $1.99 a piece. They have 35 grams of protein. The protein blend is Calcium Caseinate and Milk Protein Concentrate. How good are these proteins? The taste is really good as they come in a bunch of different flavors and the shake is only 11 oz. I guess it is better than no protein supplement at all.

As you probably suspect, they're not the high-end proteins. Whey is digested much faster and is generally considered a better protein, but personally I think it depends on the context. Whey IS best if you want to get a LOT of protein into your system FAST, but if you aren't going to be able to eat for a while, a slow-digesting protein like Casein would be a better choice, like at bedtime.

Personally, I think a cheap protein is fine as long as you like it, and as long as it doesn't upset your stomach. If you've got a huge amount of muscle mass you need to maintain, it might be different, but face it, most of us don't

i do i do i do....... NOOOOO i really dont....but if i dont give myself credit, WHO WILL???? ill take any protein anytime......1.99 isnt bad for that much protein and in a shake too!!!! cool
