Protein Shakes
« 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?

I like Premier Protein and they come in a variety of flavors.

30 grams of protein, including all of the essential amino acids
24 vitamins and minerals
Excellent source of calcium
Low in fat and only one gram of sugar
Gluten free

I don't have a favorite other than the ones we make at home.  The store bought ones just don't seem to taste as good.

I drink protein shakes all the time, they really help a lot when I don't have time to eat right.

I drink them once in a while. The two that I have right now aren't protein shakes, just like a supplement. One is chocolate flavored with fruits, veggies, mushroom, and probiotics. The other one is a green drink.
