premiema Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I use muscle milk light that you can get at GNC. I put 2 scoops with water or milk add a tablespoon of peanut butter and half of bannana. Its yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJude Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi Salena ~ Welcome! To start off with is what Jann just posted. Lots of yummy ones too. There are also lot of other protein shakes receipes oon the internet...you can google it and go from there. The same goes for choosing protein powder. I personally use AmazeRX (www.AmazeRX.com) and mix and match my flavors. GREAT TASTING and has 17g of protein per shake. My DS suggested to use peanut butter protein powder (www.bellplantation.com) to add flavor to my chocolate or vanilla shake. It has 4.3g of protein per serving. When I add the two together, my tasty shakes has 21.3g of protein. Really, it's all a matter of taste. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samantha19 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 The most important supplement you can take to gain weight by building muscle is protein shakes. They are basically the only supplement I have ever used. They are completely safe, unless you take an insane amount as 700grams in a single day. No side effects or anything. So why protein shakes so important? Proteins are probably the most important part of your diet when you are working on building muscle and weight gain, and is the cornerstone of the muscles. Without protein the body can not build muscle. But I can not get enough protein from my usual diet? Why do I need extra protein shakes? Sure, you can get protein from your normal diet, but we all know that when we are trying to gain weight you should eat at least 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. It is very difficult for you to get this amount of protein in their regular diet. wheyproteinshake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trcousins Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Oh! Protein shakes are wonderful, cheap and a great source of easily digestible nourishment. I get protein powder at the health food store as well, but might even be cheaper to buy it online and lightweight to ship. Anyway, I too add bananas, peanut butter, frozen fruit, fresh fruit you name it. My blender is my friend. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
