Who is This Shake Good For?
This vanilla protein shake is a great option for a lot of people, including those looking for a vanilla protein shake for weight loss. If your goal is to lose body fat, it has a good amount of protein and only 329 calories.
On top of that, this shake is very low in fat (at only 5g per shake).
If your goal is to gain lean muscle mass, you may consider adding some more calories to this shake. It still has a good amount of protein for those looking to build muscle, but certainly doesn't have a bunch of calories.
After all, you need to eat more calories than you burn to gain weight. You may want to add some more carbs and fats to the shake if that is your goal.
Is This Shake Vegan Friendly?
This shake is NOT vegan-friendly. The Level-1 Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder has milk in it.
However, if you're looking to make it a vegan shake, you can substitute Level-1 for Vegan Power Pro Vanilla Creme! Vegan Power Pro is a plant-based protein powder that tastes just as good as this vanilla protein shake.
