It’s the new year and I know lots of folks will be kicking it off with healthy new resolutions.  (I’ll be refocusing my health and fitness goals too.)  Many of you will probably see some ready-to-drink protein shakes hanging out in the fridge at your gym, so I put together this list to help you pick out the one that’s best for you!  I included brands that are your standard run of the mill shakes, grass-fed brands, organic, vegan, etc.

Above each brand photo you’ll see a clickable link to find it on Amazon and below each brand photo you’ll see a little spreadsheet snippet that includes my rating of taste/texture, plus the macro breakdown, price, and ingredients list.  You can click on the little snippets to see them larger or you can click here to see the entire spreadsheet at once.

Quest for the Best Ready to Drink Shake – Comparison Chart

Here’s a quick rundown of different colors you’ll see in the charts below:

  • Yellow (on the macro ratio) indicates carb content.
  • Blue (on the macro ratio) indicates protein content.
  • Green (on the macro ratio) indicates fat content.

I had some trouble comparing these drinks against each other directly because some are plant based, some are organic, and some are just plain old bro-style.  I did my best to rank order them according to taste, while still considering macros and ingredients lists.  Honestly, it wasn’t easy to do.  I recommend that you pull up the big spreadsheet yourself and narrow it down according to what matters most to you, whether that be taste, ingredients, macros, price, whatever…you get the idea.  I hope this helps you in your own hunt for the best brand!
