Whats a good protein drink

[Gloves78]

Been back working out for a couple of months now I am trying to get stronger an bigger. Just wondering whats a good pro drink to have.

I miss a few meals as are busy so something I could have when I miss meals an for when I work out to would be good.

I'm having mushashi growling dog at the moment. Just a quality brand would be good

Any basic whey concentrate/isolate will do, maybe add some oats and even mct's to make yourself a little meal replacement shake, don't depend on them though!

Thanks mate yeah have seen its not a meal replacement. Just an added boost.

That sounds like what I'm using

If you are trying to gain size you can do something like:

2 Scoops whey
1 banana
2 cups milk
2 Tbl Pnut butter
1 Cup oatmeal

Pretty heavy shake and a little difficult to move after but it's good.

Haha that sounds awesome.

I push 5-10 thousand kg of concrete around most days so that might be good in the morning when I find it hard to eat

What are mct's? cheers mate

He's referring to EFAs (essential fatty acids), or "good" fats. Coconut oil, fish oil, flaxseed oil, etc...

I recommend Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. You can buy it cheap at bodybuilding.com.

'Medium chain triglycerides' if thats spelt right healthy fats basically like the man above said, a form of EFA's. You can usually buy them in a basic powder form (easy for taking to work to get your macro's) or you could a a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to your shake to get about 15g of fats in that way, doesn't taste bad as you may think it would.

I have been a fan of Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex for a long while. Has good protein mix with a few different types, and also has a bunch of other vitamins and other support.

If I want to use as a bit of a meal replacement, which isnt really recommended but sometimes in a hurry works, I might add in some casein as well to slow down the digestion and give it a little heft. I usually liberally sprinkle some ground flax seeds in there as well for their added nutritional benefit and give it a little extra fibre, which can also slow down digestion and add to full feeling.

I find if I am taking that in the morning, especially with my big handful of vitamins and other supps including fish oil, can keep the hunger away if i am busy for a while, or at night can let me have a good night sleep without a big meal before bedtime.

can be found cheaply at most internet retailers, but like many, I got mine on BB.com.
