Protein Shake on Off Days?

[Kaprice]

Is it good or bad to have a 10g protein shake on off days? If good, wold that be with or without creatine?

[Richard Schmitt]

personally I wouldn't mess with whey during an ULC period, BUT you can if you want to, just make sure to get 10g of fat or higher.

Whenever I have a protein shake if its not postworkout it has coconut oil in it, whether it be training day or not.

Thanks.Randy, doesn't your coconut oil get all chunky and sink to the bottom in your shake?

Its always in coffee or green tea so I can warm it and melt it. I have a hard time getting room temp coc oil down.

But, earlier, you said whenever you have a shake you put coconut oil in it (expect the PWO), so I'm confused.

I normally have a 10g protein shake everyday with lunch as a way to get my creatine down.  Sometimes I throw a tsp or 2 of liquid fish oil in.  Sounds nasty I know, but this stuff is lemon flavored and is nothing short of heavenly in a protein shake.  Put the water, protein and creatine in first, then add your oils to prevent oily whey clumps from forming.

i had the same problem with the clumping. Naomi said to either get a Magic Bullet or Vitamix and it helps a lot. but like he said, oils go last.
