    Honestly - people if you have nothing positive or supportive to say don't bother replying - OP only asked for advise ! I'm doing slim fast - but I'm dieting too! My friend is using protein shakes and gym work outs - USN from Holland and barrat uk it was recommended by her trainer x

    In what way is your comment positive or supportive?
    OP asked for advice, people gave advice.

    You on the other hand addressed a mini rant directed at "people" and told a little anecdote about you and your friend.

    Pot / kettle / black.

    A tip for you: if you want to debate with, or identify who you are directing your comments to, then quote them or add their profile name. Otherwise it really does come across as a pointless rant.

    I'm new on this forum I don't know how it works yet! Appologies if I said something wrong - I just read the first reply saying there's no such thing as a magic tablet or shake - I didn't read that the original post was changed - I felt sorry for OP as I thought she just wanted to know which shakes were good for working out ! I don't understand why I'm pot kettle black! I just answered to say my friend is using high protein shakes to help with her work outs - I am using slim fast as a calorie controlled diet to loose a few pounds. Sorry to anyone who was offended - I just thought the comment was unfair

    Look at your overall dietary intake.

    Very few people really need to supplement for "gym workouts".

    If you like gingerbread, Oxygen magazine has a recipe for a delicious Gingerbread cookie shake: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup vanilla enriched Rice Dream, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 T molasses, and ice cubes. Blend and drink ! Mmmmmm

    I also like a Creamsicle, which is a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat or Greek vanilla (or plain or coffee) yogurt. Blend and drink.

    The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with the juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).

    The Chocolate Maple Shake is made by blending a cup of milk, 3 T protein powder, 1 T cocoa powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup

    Last but not least, for a change, I blend a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat coffee yogurt. Also good!

    I use PhD diet whey. Comes in a variety of flavours. But i tend to go for the Belgian choc mixed with water & then sometimes add a banana, strawberries or peanut butter. I use it as a bfast meal replacement if I'm working an early...(who wants bfast at 6am??) And if I do an hr weights session or a hard spin class I'll have it post workout. There's so many protein shakes/drinks to choose from. I tried a few before I found PhD, I won't use anything else. Slim fast & juice plus didn't agree with me. Always search on line for a good price aswell. PhD is twice the price in Tesco compared to Amazon/eBay. Good luck xx

    Remember that what's important is your overall calorie intake. You could be negating your entire workout by downing a shake. Have some caffeine if you need a boost. I like amino energy, but I'm sure the effect (besides the caffeine) is mostly placebo. But, it only has 5 calories and I like the sweetness.

    I see far too many people chugging a vitamin water on the treadmill, not realizing they need to RUN a mile or two just to burn that off.

    Ha ha I did change the post cuz I thought it was confusing. I named it pills and potions as a joke and then noticed people didn't get it. So I really did just want to know about shakes, drinks, suppliments that help with working out and keeping energy. I never have used any and just did diet and exercise. Dipping my toe to see what people use, what works, if I should try any. @stealthHealth @sijomial @lauraemily84 sorry for confusion! ! Not trying to piss anyone off lol.

    Thank you all for advice! !

    I posted the first reply, which I can't change now, but it was in response to the OPs original question that specifically asked for suggestions for ”pills and magic potions". Those were the words used. I didn't expect to have the question changed after I answered it. I wasn't trying to be rude or mean. It was an honest response to the original question.

    Yes tried it... not a very good product . If you are interested in a MLM just do research on what is the top 5 and talk to your dr. I eat better and still use health and wellness products and yes most folks say MLM is a scam, I an involved with a health and wellness company. I will not preach about it on here. I used to take 12 supplements/vitamins for my hair, skin, immune system, acne and now I take just 1 kind that covers it all plus some.
