Jillian Michaels Whey Protein Powder - Vanilla Cream Shake


Price: $25 for about 14 scoops
Taste: I wasn't a fan of the Vanilla Cream Shake. It popped out way too much in my smoothies. I usually only put a half of a banana in my smoothies and I had to put a whole one in just to mask the taste of this, and even then, it didn't work well.
Only 100 calories per scoop.
Protein: 15 g of protein for 1 scoop.

I read a lot of reviews on Myfitnesspal and basically, what I got out of it all is that this protein is made by a brand called Pure Protein. From what I gather, they made new containers, slapped her name on it and hiked up the price.

My final review:
$25 for less scoops of protein and even then you only get 15 g of protein? Plus the bad taste. Jillian Michaels is amazing, but ladies, just because she is on it, doesn't mean it's the way to go. Not worth it. 

Body Fortress Whey Protein Powder - Vanilla



Body Fortress is my favorite Protein Powder by far, so far. 
Price: $15 for about 25 scoops
Taste: I feel like it enhances what ever type of smoothie you want it in. I haven't tried it in just milk or in water, and I don't think I ever will. But it is good in juice. It breaks down very easily in liquids, I've never had any clumping problems. And it's great for a food replacement. I feel full for 3-4 hours.
I will have to try the Chocolate and Strawberry one day.
Protein: In one scoop you get 30 g of protein, in 2 scoops, 60 g of protein.
1 scoop is 170 calories, which is kinda up there, but so protein is too, and therefore worth it to me. 
It has (for one scoop):
Calcium 87 mg
Phosphorous 63 mg
Magnesium 15 mg
Potassium 120 mg

All of which are good for you in different ways. They're aren't much  for each, but it's a good amount considering it's all in one place, plus you will be eating more of each in your diet. It's a good amount so you don't go overboard. It also has super recovery blend in the ingredients.

I highly recommend trying this one out. I put 1 scoop in every smoothie I make after I workout for a recovery drink.
