Protein shakes

[beanball]

I"ve been advised by my trainer to drink protein shakes w/ dextrose or malto something or other immediately after my workouts.

At first I was thinking "woo hoo!" But as cruel fate would have it, there is no ice cream involved in the "shake" Maybe I'm different, but whenever I'm at a restaraunt and order a shake, it has ice cream, along with whatever else in it. John Travolta's character in Pulp Fiction describes the ingredients in a five dollar milk shake as "milk and ice cream." Unfortunately this argument seems to fall on deaf ears with the trainer, who laughs all the whey home.

Can I get some help on this? A shake has ice cream, right? If it's called a protein shake then it's got protein and ice cream in it?!

Well, you can put ice cream in it I guess ...

I took ph77's advice and drink a shake like this:

milk, whey, penut butter, banana, oatmeal

Just use a blender on them and it is the best damn shake I have ever tasted. You can put ice cream in it too, if you aren't too worried about the extra sugars and fat.

ummm......no

although fat free frozen yogurt in a specified amount wouldn't be a bad post workout glycogen replenisher, throw that with a bannana, some skim milk and some chocolate protein powder that should work....


or you could drink those raw egg slurries, like Rocky.....

I always think of Tim Conway in the Apple Dumpling Gang trying to dump one of those down his gullet with his "coach," Don Knotts, egging him on. If memory serves correct, Conway convinces Knotts that drinking them would be no more beneficial than scrambling them in a skillet . . . funny scene. Seriously, I don't think my trainer needs any more Rocky-esque ideas.
