Just wondering if any parents know of a protein drink that is readily available at major retail stores that their sons would actually drink? I have tried a couple with little to no success in getting my son to actually drink it after a hard workout. Most of the time I get a look of disgust after the first couple of swallows.
My son will drink milk like it is going out of style, but I believe he should be taking in a little more protein.
I am looking to avoid creatine enhanced products at this time though. |

| My son uses GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ in vanilla. Had tried one or two others that he hated, but he has been drinking this. One of the good things about it is you mix it with water. So, he brings a small container with the powder in it to school and fills it with water after his workout and drinks it right then. He has preseason workouts before school. Seems to be working. He has put on 10 lbs. of muscle since school started. He is also very picky about what he eats and not very adventurous about trying new things. This he can stomach and doesn't mind drinking it. |

How about a balanced diet instead of this synthesized processed voodooo magic in a can? THE BODY PROCESSES ALL PROTEIN, LIPIDS, AND CARBS THE SAME NO MATTER THE SOURCE. Just because a protein source has a fancy cool name and package doesn't mean it goes directly to building muscle and bypasses all the metabolic processes. Lean beef and chicken, and milk, etc. will do the same and also get converted and stored as glycogen in the liver for later use just as the fancy canned stuff will once the body metabolizes what it needs.
Ask any of those companies for a scientific controlled study of their product and wait their response, and wait, and wait..... |

| Some high school programs now require kids to buy supplements and powders so they can get a kickback. |

With all the issues we see pro players having with supplements and drug testing, I would be cautious about what I let my kids use. I will keep feeding my steak and chicken. That seems to work pretty well.  |

And which ones would those be? |

| I know some require a protein powder program at about $120 a month but not supplements. |

Purest form of protein in whole food form ( which is BEST ) is egg whites.
If your bound and determined to do a protein supplement, go to the frozen foods section and score some blueberries or strawberries or freeze some grapes. Toss in your protein, frozen fruit with a banana and some honey and you're "jam up and jelly tight" ! |
