I have been reading a lot that pre and post work out proteins are needed in aiding in muscle recovery and adding to fat loss with out losing muscle mass. Whats are good examples besides protein shakes? And what is a good protein powder to buy??
chocolate milk. or my usual -Click,not whey protein,with milk.i buy it at amazon to get free shipping. i also have it before work because it has expresso in it.
I like Designer Whey for protein. A friend of mine told me a GREAT recipe (thanks, chefkate!). Add a tbsp of sugar-free butterscotch jello pudding (pretty sure it's a Tbsp... may be a little less), a scoop of vanilla whey protein, about 3/4 cup water (or almond milk) and a few ice cubes, give it a whir in the blender, and it makes a YUMMY post-workout shake!
I also like to add a little honey and pure vanilla extract to a cup of skim milk for a protein boost. The kids also like this for a treat (instead of chocolate milk).
