Protein Shakes?

Question

When you add peanut butter and fat free milk to your protein Shakes, does it become a regular milk shake with all the fat and colories?

Answer 1

I'm not sure why you would add peanut butter...... but if it's in a chocolate flavored protein powder, that might be kind of good....

Anyway, any type of milk is fine to add (and typically tastes better than water or juice), but adding a little peanut butter won't be really detrimental..... it's just adding some fat and calories. It doesn't take away anything from the protein powder, as it will still have the high protein content and amino acids that you are taking it for.

Answer 2

actually the concentration of oil in peanut butter probably wins hands down over a regular milkshake.

The protien in health shakes is usually derived from Soy, which is also a phyto (plant based) estrogen - fake estrogens that usually block the receptors for the real thing. Modifying your hormone balance can be just as devastating as eating at Mcdonalds, and doing so on a regular basis can have similar side effects.
