1. Perfect Keto Grass-Fed Keto Collagen with MCT

(Ora, $38)
3. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein
Whey is an extremely popular protein type because it contains 30 grams of protein per 150 calories. Whey protein helps increase strength, gain muscle, and lose weight!
(GNC, $29)
4. Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Protein
This protein is tasteless (and odorless) so it won't taste bad in your protein shake. Collagen is a great added source of protein because it helps promote a healthy gut and skin along with fueling your body after a workout.
(Dr. Axe, $44.95)
5. GNC Total Lean Shake
A healthy meal replacement option for on-the-go. It's only 170 calories, and the website claims it is "clinically proven to improve weight loss and BMI." The reviews don't seem to lie though. With nearly 283 five star reviews, this drink must be on to something.
(GNC, $34.99)
6. Naked Egg Premium Egg White Protein Powder
This bad boy only contains two ingredients: egg white protein (from eggs) and sunflower lecithin. As you may know, egg whites are a great source of protein so this powder may be a no brainer. The egg yolk itself contains a ton of cholesterol, and when removed you're left with the white that's full of protein and no added fat.
