Name - 2 things - you add to your protein shake: and why??

[chrismac365]

Aside from milk, I wanted to learn what my fellow supplement-heads add to protein shakes and ask why? Truth is, after 30+ years of consuming shakes, its starting to get a little boring.

I'll go first...

Post workout, I'll sometimes add baby food, particularly banana baby food... easy and fast absorption, adds to the taste and texture and is pretty cheap.
Chia and/or Flax... I love chia, its a great plant protein, and I am a big fiber advocate. I'll go for a tablespoon or so in the shake to add a few awesome calories, and make the shake feel a little more like a full meal.

Those are my two things... now all secrets have been revealed!

Ice and blueberries are a must for me

Ice is weak bro… we need to know your secrets.

[Farley1324]

l-citrulline and creatine monohdyrate, because I want each daily and adding it to my protein shake is a combination of convenience and anti-forgetfulness

Is the forum ready for my secrets?

[ILPump]

I prefer Chromadex verified Ogliopeptides in my shakes.

[chrismac365]

I normally don't add BCAAs to a shake because WHEY has them in the amino profile

Oh, so when do you recommend BCAA’s? We already know when your counterpart does

[Farley1324]

Don't spend money on bcaa.

Inulin powder. Good way to increase my daily fibre intake.

Makes my protein shake slightly thicker.

NICE move! My old training partner used to add fish oil... but I'm pretty sure that would make the shake taste like poop

God, no!

Speaking of foul taste, I once mistakenly added 12g of citrulline malate into my protein shake, instead of the inulin powder.

It was terrible! I couldn’t even gulp it down. Poured it down the drain.

I'm surprised no one mentioned peanut butter yet

[WolfBeast]

Chocolate pb whey
unsweetened cashew milk
