Muscle Milk is a product that is a victim of its own ridiculous reputation. It just seems like something that Jersey boys drink between steroid shots and before getting “in the zone.” Like these guys.

But Muscle Milk Light is actually kind of a weight loss gem, despite its negative connotations. With 100 calories, 15 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fat, and no lactose, I love Muscle Milk Light for a snack. It’s great in the afternoon before dinner–it really puts a damper on hunger. It comes in a juice-box like package and can be kept out of the refrigerator (although you want to drink it cold), making it super convenient. In chocolate, vanilla, and several other flavors, it’s great for satisfying a craving for sweets.
The other great way to enjoy Muscle Milk Light is for breakfast. To make it heartier, blend one serving of Muscle Milk with a cup of fresh or frozen fruit. A combination of strawberries, peach slices, and vanilla Muscle Milk Light is delicious. Or try frozen cherries in chocolate for shake-like decadence. For an amazing summer breakfast to fuel you through a long morning or a tough workout, try blending chocolate Muscle Milk light with a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. If you’re the kind of person who hates eating breakfast or doesn’t have time, this is a simple way to get in this healthy habit.
The shake in a box is easier and more convenient than dealing with protein powder, and one serving is under $2. I stock up at GNC once a week.
When people would see them in the refrigerator at work they would often scoff, but I’m telling you–give it a try!
