My favorite protein shakes and bars

Many people ask what brands of protein supplements I like. Well, here they are!

Bars:
Think Thin (I love that they have 20 grams of protein, no sugar and taste great! White Chocolate is so good)
Balance Carb Well Bars (Again I gravitate towards no sugar bars)
Pure Protein

Whey Protein:
Jay Robb (Sweetened with Stevia and mixes easily)
Isopure Cookies & Creme (Mix and freeze for a ice cream treat)
Designer Whey

Whole Foods Market carries many of these products. I also like buying from www.bodybuilding.com and they ship their products fast!
