Protein Shake Comparison


I am someone who loves drinking protein shakes.  I especially love the ones from my gym, but I can't always be there (plus they can get pricey).  That being said, I looked up some at-home shakes and did a comparison.  I looked at the price per serving, flavors, calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fats.  Note that the nutrition information is just for the shake and does not include any milk or anything that you might add.  I also noted if the shake contains stevia or not.  Some shakes do as a way of lowering the sugar content, but I find that it often leaves an aftertaste, and thus I didn't want it in my shake.

Here are the data that I collected.

So, what did I come up with.  I think that the Youngevity Total Meal Replacement is going to be my next purchase.  It has a fairly low price per serving and the most protein (which is what I'm looking for).  Interestingly enough, this is one of two shakes on this list that I haven't actually tried.  My current go to in the Juice Plus Complete, but I'm looking for a change.  The Total Meal Replacement is a little cheaper and has 10g more of protein.  I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

What is your favorite at home protein shake?
