    Well, protein shakes should be fine. Protein powder is basically just whey or casein from milk that's been isolated from the rest of the milk so you get concentrated protein without the sugars or fats you'd get if you had milk or cheese directly.

    I understand why you wouldn't want your son taking other kinds of supplements, though - a lot of those are things like various herbal stimulants that may or may not be healthy.

    so would just a basic protien shake be ok? there are so many different ones we just dont know which are good or bad??

    Unless he's allergic to whey, all the brands are fine. It's a matter of taste. I'd read the reviews if you want to buy him one because some brands are better at certain tastes than other.

    Chocolate's always a favourite, and hey, still healthier than cocoa powder.

    Unless he's allergic to whey (or caseine, or soja, or the other versions), all the brands are fine. It's a matter of taste. I'd read the reviews if you want to buy him one because some brands are better at certain tastes than other.
