Health/Protein shakes

[Zoidberg]

Can anyone recommend a good health or protein shake to have after a workout to help with muscle recovery and or growth?

I've used Musashi for a while but there is better out there.
Preferably not too expensive.
Also, are there any with fruity flavours? I'm kinda over the chocolatey ones.

I use this stuff personally:

normally vanilla but have also gone banana and you can get a smaller (300g) pack of strawberry flavour from Coles & rebel sport.

good stuff that actually tastes nice...

used it initially as weight (fat) loss, now that i'm no longer a chubby muzby i'm still using it as part of my ongoing program.

I use Redbak. Stuff tastes nice (choc & vanilla). Seems to have worked nicely alongside a decent diet and workout plan. Jumped from 77kgs to 85kgs.

If youre after growth, muzby's protein isnt so good as its for weight loss as opposed to bulk. Avoid hydroxy anything.

The two brands i recommend are Max's and Vital Strength. A standard WPI is a good place to start. Also look at your whole diet, as that is where your best gains will come from.

I've been using Optimum nutrition gold standard for years. Better value than any Australian brand and tastes better too

So whats the catch. Surely just drinking the stuff isn't all you do. Do you have to run a marathon a day & eat lettuce?

I think I'm more looking for weight loss and some definition. So I might give that one a go. Not really interested in getting big big.

By the way my diet is shit. I mainly go to the gym to keep my weight in check. I I didn't go I'd be pretty chubby.

If it's weight loss you're looking for then you can't go wrong with them pre workout meth

That is the one I'm using. It's a lot better than ones I've used in the past for weight loss, as it is pure protein as opposed to a "protein blend" like Vital Strength of Body Science, but still has all the shredding ingredients for assisting weight loss.

Humans in the west eat a lot of protein like making protein powder unnecessary amounts. Just find the cheapest protein powder that doesn't contain loads of carbs if you must use it.

Something like

Protein won't help if your diet is shit

Within 30 minutes after training, and/or as a mid morning or afternoon snack.
