As a dietitian, I get asked about my go-to protein shakes all the time. Protein shakes have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and also because high-protein diets are all the rage. In this post I will share my favorite pre-made protein shakes that you can currently find online and in stores.

As a quick reminder, protein supplements are meant to supplement your diet! They are not required to meet your protein needs. Protein supplements are simply an easy, convenient way to increase your protein intake. Eating whole food sources of protein will provide much more nutrition in the form of vitamins and minerals and they will likely make you feel more satisfied than sipping on a protein shake will. That said, protein supplements can be a helpful tool if you are having a hard time meeting your protein needs through food alone.
