So, I got my delivery of NOW Foods pure, unflavored whey protein isolate yesterday. I bought this stuff because I'm supplementing my protein, and I'm tired of paying for designer bodybuilding supplements that have a bunch of crap I don't need in them. This has a high protein to calorie ratio, very little cholesterol, a high BV and a good amino acid profile. However, I tried to drink some just mixed in water. It's not terrible, just really bland and therefore hard to drink. So, tonight I was going to mix it with something. Alas, I haven't been to the grocery in a while and there wasn't any thing good to flavor it with tha wouldn't add calories, fat, etc. I was going to resort to 2% milk and I remembered that there might be some Nestle's Quick in the cupboard. There was no Quick, but there WAS a package of Disney's High School Musical brand drink mix. So, instead of protein powder and milk, I'm drinking protein powder and High School Musical fruit punch. It is excellent! Plus, it has no additional calories, fat, sugar or carbs. It has electrolytes and 100% rda of Vitamin C. I have found my new post-workout recovery drink. HA!
