Homemade protein shake....

[rookie]

In my homeade protein shake i add skim milk, half a carton of egg whites, 2 scoops of optimum whey, and 2 yogurts. do u think that this is overdoin it, on some days i use this as my first meal. whats your input? i dont do it after i workout if thats what ur thinking i know the cassien in milk will slow the digestion down way to much.

Whats the stats on that shake? At a glance, it seems like you may be overdoing it with protein. Your body can only make use of so much in one sitting.

[Rats!]

is that for two or three servings?

U put plain eggwhites into a shake? Not very good in terms of germs....

It is pasteurized - it is fine!

It looks too big to me - lots of protein and carbs (one yogurt can be as high as 30 carbs each depending on brand).

oooh, alright!
But still.....why not just take low fat milk + some whey and you´re set? =)

Isn't casein a no-no in a pwo shake? I'm not sure where egg protein falls either though.

[armorforsleep]

casein should not be used, its just too slow digesting

egg however is extremely fast. if you dont use whey id recommend egg white

this protein shake is kind of a in between meals thing, i get hungry every hour even tho i eat a decent ammount of food every 2 and a half hous, so when i make that shake it makes around 2-1/2 protein drinks.

Very true. I always put yogurt in my bedtime shake, but I use Dannon Carb Control yogurt. It tastes really good, adds some real substance to the shake, and has only 3g carbs, only 2g of sugar. I highly suggest it.
