    Whatever you like. Really. My protein shake is different from the next guys.

    Why do you need the shake to begin with? Is it because you don't get in enough protein from food?

    what @ninerbuff said above. Only need a shake if you can't eat all your protein. I prefer to chew my protein.

    Maybe... just keep it simple. It doesn't get much simpler than the Premier Protein shakes at COSTCO... I prefer chocolate (preferably ice cold). IF you have time get some Metrex Protein powder (chocolate again), and mix it with milk and a banana... it's tasty and fills you up for a long while. SO...the only real question is whether you drink it BEFORE or AFTER your workout?

    Love my breakfast shake, over 1000 calories

    1 cup quick oats
    1 cup frozen berries
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    2 tbsp peanut butter
    3 spoons of plain Greek yogurt
    2 cups of whole milk

    Enjoy!!

    Like others have said, protein shakes should be used as a supplement if you are unable to get enough protein through a normal diet. If you decide to add shakes to your diet, make sure you read the labels, some have a lot of sugar.

    Don't need them. Eat your food, lift and get adequate rest...
