Who drinks them?

I've recently stopped drinking them as I found that they were the cause of my forehead acne. I had no spots as a teenager and suddenly, when I started working out more and drinking these shakes, my face exploded.

How do you get enough protein if you don't drink shakes?

    I do Jillian's Whey Protein occasionally, but I find that eating eggs, chicken, cheese oh and chicken ha ha, I get enough protein. I usually go over in protein every day.

    You might try eggs and chicken and cheese for snacks with a fruit or veggie?

    I make my own Protein bars... good protein at minimal cost

    Bulking Bar:
    Combine in large mixing bowl:

    3 Cups Oatmeal
    1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter
    1 cup Muscle Milk
    4 Scoops Protein Powder
    dash of cinnamon
    ¼ cup mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
    Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
    use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
    top with 4-8 packets splenda
    put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

    11g fat (good monounsaturated fats)
    26g carbs
    21g protein
    285 calories

    Cutting Bar: (Note: will not be super firm like store bought, processed protein bars, it will be a bit more moist, but you can still pick it up with your hands)
    Combine in Large Mixing Bowl

    8 Scoops Whey (Vanilla is very good)
    3 Cups Oats
    1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding (Any flavor is good)
    2 Cups Skim Milk

    Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
    Use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
    put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

    3g fat
    28g carbs
    29g protein
    257 calories
