The one I'm using now (thanks to this thread: http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-11199-...#pid178336)
Few ice cubes
2 scoops of preferred chocolate protein
8oz of almond milk
1 tbsp of coffee grounds (preferably flavored but unsweetened, I like chocolate)
Its simple, low carb, and tasty. The coffee does make it a bit gritty, which I kind of enjoy to be honest, but the flavor the straight grounds add is boss.

so what are the negatives to protein shakes and why do some people go against it?
i don't lift heavy as i'm not trying to be the biggest dude in the room. i'm pretty lean as is (i jog every night, lift moderate/light weights in the morning, and play basketball or swim every other day) and i'm not trying to bulk, should i be drinking protein shakes every day? i admit on days where i'm extremely busy i skip breakfast and just get coffee or something, should i substitute this for a protein shake?

Negatives of regular protein shakes: Unnatural ingredients like flavourint, etc.
Buy an organic, unflavoured protein shake, grass fed, hormone free and drink it after hardcore workouts and also if you have to hurry in the morning make a quick healthy smoothie with organic protein powder.
It takes 3 minutes to make.

cool, thanks. but do protein shakes keep me lean? i seem to be getting mixed responses. it appears to me that protein shakes are for dudes who lift heavy and want to get big and bulk... if so, that's not what i'm looking for.

I`ll go against the grain here and say that i have stopped using protein powders/whey powders.
Been using them for over 5 years then ran out one day and decided lets try something a bit different.
I now instead use raw eggs whites in my shakes in stead of powders! I buy frozen egg whites - i litre for about 6 Aussie dollars.
I use about 300-400ml of skim milk
1 banana
100-150 ml of raw eggs whites
1 teaspoon of chocolate quik or a dab of cinnamon
Blend it all up and drink!
I usually have this after a weight work out. You get about 30 plus grams of quality easily digestable protein without the bloat i used to get from powders.Been doing this for under a year now and results have been very good!
I`m still putting on decent muscle aged 43. Natural good foods is the way to go with sensible supplementation. No magic formulas unfortunately.

I don't buy into the 'natural' 'organic' protien stuff. Its hype Whey has to be processed to shits to be legally sold. Any benefits of it being natural would be lost anyway through the heat and processing. The fillers and chemicals are things to look for. Indeed going 'unflavoured', or 'pure' is best even though it tastes like dog shit.
Anybody have experiences in buying wholesale bulk?

somewhat inaccurate.
Cheap protein is garbage and does not metabolize well.
Organic UN-heated protein is best.
Flavor should not be a concern if you buy the high quality good stuff.
Also DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT DRINK OR EAT RAW EGG WHITES ! you are doing more harm than good. YOKES RAW, Egg whites cooked !
and please do not follow what professional bodybuilders do ! those guys take so many short cuts and have so much bad habits that it does not serve the average person well.

I should have clarified liquid egg whites that have been pasteurized, I assume thats what the poster was talking about as most products sold in stores are pasteurized but thats my bad, I should've been explicit.... not a simple crack an egg and pour out an egg white as its risky and its bioavailability goes way down. As for pro lifters taking short cuts, I assume you're talking gear, but if you're talking diet, there are no short cuts with a persons diet the rules are universal, dont know what you're implying there?

I'm talking about nutrition and you have it backwards. Pasteurization DESTROYS nutrients and reduces nutrient availability.
Pasteurization of any type of food is bad.
Consuming Raw EGG YOKES is very healthy, very safe and has the highest nutrient BIO-AVAILABILITY.
Egg whites on the other hand contain avidin which is a nutrient blocker. Egg whites raw or pasteurized should NEVER be consumed unless cooked.
@ kosko
Raw milk and protein doesn't need to be cleaned and cooked. Cows that are fed an unnatural diet of grains become susceptible to infection and sickness (cows are biologically designed to eat grass not grains). When cows get sick from their unnatural diet their milk becomes disease ridden and must be pasteurized. That is why you want to eat organic grass fed meat.
As far as protein goes...unheated protein from a grass fed cow is actually helpful and loaded with helpful nutrients that have not been destroyed by the heating (pasteurization) process. protein powders do not need to be refrigerated.
