Protein Shakes

[Holls]

I have lost 20lbs since January and have hit a plateau. I am thinking about starting protein shakes, but i know that they can be high in calories. Any suggestions of which to drink to that won't become more of a challenge than help. If you have other ideas to get me over the hump that would be great too! THANKS!

I don't drink the prepackaged ones, but I use the following recipe a fair amount in the summer for breakfast:

1 scoop vanilla whey protein (Zero Carb Isopure, buy at GNC)
1 cup frozen fruit -- most berries are good
.5 cup skim milk
splenda to taste if you want -- I don't use it but DH does

With the brand of protein I use, this adds up to:

225 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 29 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber.

That sounds awesome! Thank you so much!
