it depends on the amount of calories. always check the total calories of protein shakes. if the shake is over 150 calories it’s a meal replacement. instead have a much less expensive glass of nonfat milk which is a protein drink too. with only 86 calories per 8 ounces a cup of nonfat milk provides 8 grams of protein. even a cup of fat-free chocolate milk is a good option.
do protein shakes make good snacks or are they only appropriate as meal replacements?
