Muscle Milk makes a protein shake with similar macros, but in my opinion, does not taste very good. While that is still impressive in its own right, 42 grams of protein is that much better. With 230 calories and 42 grams of protein, Core Power Elite is one of the most impressive protein shakes on the market.įor reference, OWYN Elite shakes also have 230 calories but only 35 grams of protein. The Elite Core Power shakes kick things up a notch… Here’s the nutrition facts for a regular Core Power shake:ġ70 calories and 26 grams of protein is on par with most protein shakes out there but with slightly more protein (many hover around 150 calories and 20 grams of protein). Of course, that comes with a higher pricetag, but the extra protein is certainly appealing. The “elite” core power shakes are simply protein shakes with more protein in them. Much like OWYN protein shakes, Fairlife makes two different versions of their protein shakes. For this review, I’m grouping them all together… Since these shakes are seemingly everywhere, let’s see if they are actually worth it.įirst things first, Fairlife makes two different Core Power shakes: the regular version, and the “elite” version. With the recent emergence of the Ninja Creami (the fancy machine that can turn practically anything into ice cream), I’ve seen thousands of people using these Core Power protein shakes to make ice cream. So, it feels long overdue to give these milkshakes a formal review. I tried Fairlife’s Core Power shakes a long time ago, but I’ll admit that I hardly remember the experience.

My own pcp joked early on that she wished she "had my problem". I would urge Mayo Clinic to devote more time, study and reporting of the impact of unintended wt loss for patients.

Multiple labs and scans have shown no medical cause for the wt loss. It helped initially but lost its luster over time. My doc prescribed Megestrol as an appetite enhancement.
