Protein drink or powder
I am looking for a good protein drink or powder. Anybody know of one? I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma two weeks before Christmas 2011.

Re: Protein drink or powder
Patricia,
It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for something with more calories, Muscle Milk has a variety of flavors. Muscle Milk comes in ready to drink containers and powder form. Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein powder is a low calorie protein product. Casein is a longer lasting protein. I think the taste is pretty good. Whey Protein is a protein that breaks down faster than Casein. Whey is better to use before and after working out. I think Casein is better as a meal replacement because I feel fuller longer after drinking Casein. There is also a brand Pure Protein that comes in RTD containers that I drink that I like.

Hi Patricia,
I like Muscle Milk because I can get a good deal on a huge bag of it at Costco for under $40. There is a protein powder that they sell at Nutrishop that I like even better but costs a little more. It's called Forzaone. Their vanilla flavor tastes good. I've been drinking protein drinks for over 2 years at least once a day to help me with my muscle building goals.

Re: Protein drink or powder
Did you check with your oncologist to see if it is OK for you to use a protein supplement? They can be hard on your kidneys, which are already challenged with multiple myeloma.
