I looked at the alternative thread for information on this but still left kind of confused so maybe you guys can help me out. I started IP a few weeks ago and am using all IP foods with no alternatives. However, I use a lot of the pre-made vanilla and chocolate drinks and have read on here that people use the EAS shakes. One of the boards said the formula for these drinks has changed.. Do you think it is safe to use them on IP? If it is a different type of protein will it screw up weight loss? I just want to make sure I don't mess myself up, I'm really looking for the quickest results possible. Let me know what you guys think!

I have used the EAS Rtd because they are GF and I need to have some shakes that ARE ready to go on hand. Actually, found I like them a lot and even like the new ones. The important numbers .. Cals., protein and carbs are still within the IP metrics.. It boils down to taste and price. My IP site knows I use them because IP does not offer a GF Ready to Go.

I use the Premier Protein shakes from Costco, both vanilla and chocolate. They are delicious! And work out to about $1.40 each here in Ontario.

I also use the Premier Protein shakes in Vanilla. I brewed a couple of Stash brand chai tea bags and mixed the tea and my vanilla RTD and it was fantastic.

Hi, 65! Does GF=gluten free?

I've used the EAS RTD and like how they taste but recently switched to the Premiere Protein at Costco because they have more protein!

and yes GF in this context= gluten free D: not girlfriend haha

Yum, that is a fantastic idea!

I have used EAS from the beginning. I also use the Syntrax Nectars intermittently for a change, because they are mostly whey and have no fat or carbs and a bit more protein than the EAS. In a pinch, I used the Pure Protein RTDs once, but they tasted so chemically to me.

Yum! Sounds delicious. I'm going to get some chai tea next time I'm at the grocery store and make this with crushed ice. Vanilla Chai Tea Frappuccino IP style!

Love love love muscle milk RTD! Be sure to get the light version. It does not have soy so that really helps me. I use it in coffee. I buy the light powder to make shakes. Just ordered a new flavor of chocolate peanut butter to try but have used the chocolate for years as a recovery drink from exercise. Sucralose is one of the last if not the last ingredient so another plus. Actually having my one cup of coffee with vanilla muscle milk light as we speak!

I use the EAS carb control everyday since my 2nd week OP. it is the ONLY non IP product I use. I initially bought it because my clinic did not have any RTD'S that week, but now I enjoy it and its less expensive!!!

Jojobananas- make sure you are using the carb control EAS, good luck
