Title: Protein Shakes
Post by: sherryinutah on July 13, 2017, 06:09:05 pm: Lately, I've been donating plasma; which means, I've been selling some of the fluid and protein in my body. Each time I go donate I must pass a screening to make sure my protein level is high enough.

That being said, I'm motivated to increase my protein for myself and for the plasma I donate. :heart:

I recently started using a product called Vega Protein Shakes. I'm able to buy it from Walmart and it's gluten free and loaded with nutrition so I feel good about drinking it, whether I exercise or not.

Do you have a favorite protein shake?

Where are you getting your protein?
