You can sometimes get samples to try them, I know MyProtein used to, and I got a couple of Boditronics ones from somewhere too.

Have a look here for some more ideas, reviews etc:

What on earth do you need protein shakes for if you're only doing press ups and chin ups??? Asd an athletics coach I work a lot with athletes who train at National level - most of them only rarely use protein shakes and that's only when they are doing extra weights sessions in the winter, or need some instant help because they have no time to eat! and when I say weights, I mean real weights, olympic lifting with bars and disc weights, not toy machines from a gym!

If you eat correctly, and dont fill up on fast food you will have enough nutrition to fuel a few chin ups and press ups. I'd be interested in knowing how many you do too - I use a circuit for my athletes which involves 275 different movements, including 240 pressups. The girls have no problem with this as part of their training session.

I use the holland and barrat one, think its called 90% protein, have been using it for years and still dont know what its called lol.
I mix it with water, or fruit juice, and sometimes with skimmed milk and add a small banana, I find it filling for me, and gives me loads of energy.
I am a veggie, and take vits as well, so really I dont eat much protein as I dont like this quorn stuff so I drink this drink every day and take my vits, I have a very physical job and am no spring chicken either, but I have a healthy glow and really good skin, also the energy that would put a 25 year old to shame
