Peanut Butter Power Shake

2 scoops of vanilla whey protein
1 tbsp. of sugar free instant butterscotch pudding mix

Add all ingredients to the blender, blend, and serve. I like to add the peanut butter in last so it stays a little chunky, just like the peanut brittle it is replacing. This is a great shake for those of you looking to pack on some size or for you super heavyweights looking to maintain your current weight.

Great post bro. I'm going to copy this and send it to my email address. Always good to mix it up. I still have a suspicion you have some type of nutrition training background...

Thanks for the ideas!

[HawaiianPride.]

Plans were to major in nutrition but set my sights on kinesiology instead. Would still like to minor in nutrition though. Everything about it fascinates me.

[sprinter911]

That's not an easy major but I'm sure you can apply the knowledge to your training. I'm always interested to see your posts. You have a lot of info. Cheers bro

[HawaiianPride.]

Appreciate the kind words bro.

[sprinter911]

What's your staple protein shake? What one do you have most often? Mine is 2 scoops vanilla whey with one banana, one cup oats (doing it with dry oats now but used to use cooked, cooled oats), dash of cinnamon and skim milk. Tasty

[HawaiianPride.]

60-80grams whey isolate blended with 1.5 grinded uncooked oats w/ berries. Delish.
