It is good to have a pre and post workout meal. Protein is important after workouts to build lean muscle. I have tried various protein shakes and have been surprised at how disgusting most of them really taste. I decided to do a review of three different products.

Nutrilite Protein Shakes taste very good. I was pleasantly surprised how this one tastes the best out of all three but has the least amount of fat calories. I highly recommend this protein shake and it is my top choice.

Muscle Milk is too just too sweet. I almost spit it out of mouth because I felt like I was drinking a bag of sugar. The calories and fat content is the highest of the three.
