Back in my day you just blended powder into a smoothie, but apparently that's too much work.
I for one would much rather eat actual food than a protein shake. I get so sick of those things even when I vary how I make them.
An actual complete, balanced meal? Yes. But a cup of "protein"? Might as well just go for the shake.
Nah, I'd take nuggets or beef jerky or a can of tuna over a protein shake any time. The only time protein powder is tolerable is when it's mixed with oatmeal which defeats the purpose of just trying to bump your protein intake.
Well, then you are the target audience for the fast food industry's latest innovation.
