    If you are getting enough protein without them? None.

    If you have enough protein in your diet already, there's no added benefit. Eat if you want, or don't if you don't.

    If you're getting enough protein without them, then you're fine. They're meant as a supplement for people who can not get enough protein in otherwise.

    For me, none, because my protein requirements are easily covered by my food alone. I love Greek yogurt, chickpeas, chicken, and PB2.

    The only benefit I find is it's a very-quick way to prepare and ingest my protein. I can make a shake, drink it, and clean-up all in 2 minutes flat.
