[Closed] Protein Shakes... What do you like?

Whats the reason you guys are all smashing protein shakes for? are you all training for something?

I find a smoothie with a scoop of protein powder to be a quick, healthy convenient meal, usually for breakfast but also in the evening if I have been out for a ride.

Thanks - never ever even seen a protein shake or heard of anyone having one out of my friend circles - esp not as a breakfast replacement - Interesting - I'll do some reading!

JEESUS give hoy his legs back!

mix it thick to start with too, bout 1 and half scoops and then fill a shake bottle to just halfway with milk otherwise it can stay a bit runny.

Roger that, Red Leader. And thanks for the tip, sounds right up my street; strawberry and vanilla bean paste "cheesecake" congealing as I type...

oh and it goes without saying......store it in the fridge for the day 🙂

I'm a fan of the theproteinworks.com I prefer them to myprotein.

I use bulkpowders unflavoured whey, mix it with nesquick if I want flavour but not always. Similar price to myprotein, although they seem to do 30% every couple of weeks.

Image above reminds me of bodybuilder Tom platz.

I used to do myprotein unflavoured whey, a frozen banana and
some semi skimmed milk with a dollop of peanut butter chucked in blender.

Yummy in da tummy.

I've got a thing for their protein pancake mix, always whip them up for weekend brekky 🙂

GoNutrition triple choc Ultimate Whey for the amino acids or any of their normal whey pro bags. Best protein I've ever tried, much nicer than Myprotein or Bulk Powders offerings and usually have better deals.

Optimum Health Ultimate Whey Protein from Discount Supplements.

Taste good and are very good value. I usually buy four 2.2kg bags of different flavours for variety and get a good discount for multi-buying.

They also have some good protein flapjacks for snacking.

Unflavoured Myprotein with a massively heaped teaspoon of powered chocolate and probably far too much honey works for me.

Ye gods!

Milk Protein Smooth cheesecake is a must if you like that kind of pud. Without the granola mine was more like a strawberry mousse but excellent nonetheless. Tomorrow I'll try with granola and maybe something really sugary and shit for me. Or maybe a healthy berry of some sort, I dunno.

High protein lovelyness - thanks again Sadexpunk. Shakes were getting a little boring.

's probably got something to do with breastfeeding or somesuch...

As a distance runner (a very old but vaguely competitve one) and something of a Luddite when it comes to supplements. Would this offer any benefit to me or aid recovery?
I run about 6 days a week around 45 miles in total and bike occasionally

Would this offer any benefit to me or aid recovery?

I can't say I have ever noticed any improvements with after exercise whey protein, but casein protein at night before bed does seem to make a difference to my recovery and performance the next day. I have noticed a difference if I leave off the late night casein for a while.

But then there has been a suggested link between high levels of casein and cancer. I guess any unnaturally high levels of anything probably isn't very good for you. So if you don't need it then it's probably not worth having any sort of supplement. imho

Cheers Ernie. Hard to know if it will offer any benefit but its interesting to be aware of the link to Cancer (what isn't!) as Surfer junior plays rugby and drinks a lot of these shakes.

@surfer, depends on your diet, but most likely a protein supplement of some sort will improve your recovery.

Protein/carb blend directly after exercise.
Slow release protein overnight
Protein only shake with breakfast or mid morning.

Basically you want to drip feed your muscles with protein as close to 24/7 as possible. If you can get it from food then do so, but shakes can help cover the gap

If you could get a liquid that contained three times more protein than buffalo milk, would you drink it?
You'd need a bloody small stool to milk the herd...
