Protein Supplements?

:indifferent: :indifferent: Hi, guys.
This Friday my man and I are going to go grab some protein powder and the like.
Neither of us have ever bought any stuff like that. I want to get him gluten free stuff because he has a slow stomach. I don't know what will be a good start for either of us.
Do you guys use protein bars or shakes more often?
Do you ever exercise then substitute a meal with a protein smoothie right after?
Do they work differently for men and women?
Thanks!

    If you mean your man wants a protein powder easier to digest, I would suggest whey protein because it is easier to digest and is gluten free as well. I don't see how how protein powders work differently between men and women.

    Alright, we'll look to that kind, then. I've trying to do research but there's so many, lol.
    And ok, I didn't think they did, but when you're ignorant you've gotta ask to learn... thanks!

    FWIW, I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard.
    THIS. A quality protein powder at a fair price. Not to mention that Optimum Nutrition manufactures their own products whereas practically every other seller contracts out to a 3rd party manufacturer. That usually means that the quality of the product is lesser so that the seller can make more profit.
    I've tried lots of different brands and ON has been a great choice for the last few years.

    Alright, I've noticed that that's a super popular one. I think I'll tell him about it.
    If anyone wants to add their favorite smoothie/shake recipes I won't mind, lol!

    I can't tell if that's spam or not, because of your profile, lol.
