I have been putting about 3-4 tablespoons in each of my two shakes per day. I realize that heavy cream isn't the healthiest thing for you but in terms of dense calories and fat, it is a decent idea to mix in your shakes.
Does anyone else use heavy cream in their diets?
As far as I know, you should stay away from heavy cream. If anything, maybe Low Fat? I may be wrong though!

From a health standpoint, I'd probably advise against doing such for your smoothies/shakes all the time. Why not something like coconut milk/cream for the MCTs that is still w/ flavor and viscous ?

I have been using heavy cream (3-4 tablespoons) in 2 of my shakes for about 3-4 months. I have been trying to gain weight and I seen some good results along with x-factor/activate xtreme.
In the shake:
1/2 2% milk
3-4 tablespoons heavy cream
5-6 strawberries
FEED brand granola
1 banana
1/2 cup yogurt
Moderation is key. Although I think creme is better served for cooking rather than making protein shakes. One of my ecto gym rat friends drinks 1 quart of heavy cream a day, and it's gross.
