I actually really like the Trader Joe's brand. I use the chocolate and a scoop of PB2.

I like gold standard optimum nutrition

If you're just looking for an affordable meal replacement, I second optimum nutrition. I've had some better tasting brands but unless you want to spend $3/serving, I won't, heh.

I just bought a 2lb container of MRM All Natural Whey Dutch Chocolate and I looooove it.

@Ra: depends on my goals, personally. For a breakfast replacement, I do a scoop of powder, a cup of whole milk, and a sliced banana I froze the night before. Sometimes I use coffee and a splash of vanilla extract. It tides me over a couple hours so I still have to eat again around 9, but gets me through my commute and nets me about 30 grams of protein in the morning (I try to get about 90 a day when I can)

@Ra: well, if it's a meal replacement, then have it anytime. If you do a lot of body weight stuff in PiYo that taxes your muscles (like lifting would), having a protein shake within 15 min or so sends fuel to your muscles and helps them repair themselves faster! Usually for a post work out shake, I just do water and powder. Super boring. Lately I've been having them at 6am just for a change of pace:) I can't work out on an empty stomach and never have been able to....so I could do half the banana before and dump the other half in the shake afterwards. Just personally

@Ra: I just mix almond milk and the powder in a shaker but I'm using it as a snack or post-workout, not as a meal replacement. I'd boost the calories if you're replacing a meal with it.

@Ra: I just prefer almond milk, personally, LOL! You can certainly use cow's milk.

You can also make smoothies with protein powder as an ingredient. So like bananas, strawberries, ice, milk, powder....
