I need help finding a good protein supplement?!
Question: I need help finding a good protein supplement?
The thing is that I I know nothing about protein shakes or anything like that. I could really use some help here.
I like smoothies and shakes. From smoothie king I will usually get the Caribbean Way, but I don't put protein or anything like that in it because I do not know what to get or want to ruin the taste.
Do any of you have any suggestions on what I should try? Maybe a powder to put in a drink or a shake that I would put in a blender or something? Again, I don't know anything about this sort of stuff, so the more info you can give the better!
Thanks to everyone for all of the help!

Hi ... you need approximately 46 to 50 grams of protein a day......... one cup of low fat milk contains 10 grams of protein.........suggestion for a low cost practical protein shake recipe without spending alot of money on a protien supplement is as follows:
pour 2 cups of lowfat milk into a blender
add half a banana
add 2 oz. of frozen or fresh strawberries
add four ice cubes
blend to desired consistancy, pour into a glass and enjoy......:)....
21 grams of protein
Remember the body can only utilize so much protein per day ..so in addition to your regular meal protein intake 21 grams of additional protein should be more than enough........:)....

It really doesn't matter what company it is, BUT make sure it says 100% whey protein, if it doesn't then don't get it. Check out my blog it's all about fitness.

Buy a Whey Protein Powder and put 30g in each shake
