Don't you wish that all protein shakes looked like this?
I'm all about getting my necessary protein. It's kind of hard for me because the foods I normally eat don't have much in them. I have a ton of go-to protein sources that are very low fat or nonfat. I love protein powder because it's only around 200 calories, has about 20 grams of protein and it's fat free. Spiru-tein is my personal favorite. You can find it at most health food stores. Click Here to check them out. They come in all different flavors. Banana, cherries jubilee, chocolate chunk, cookies and cream, peanut butter.....the list is so long!
But the thing I DON'T like about protein powders is the cost. They seriously take a chunk out of my bank account. I don't buy them very often due to that fact. I came up with my own protein shake for at home though. It comes in at 250 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and 25 grams of protein. You can customize it as you'd like too. The only downside is that it isn't portable like the protein powders.
