Gaining muscle is always challenging and eating the right foods is one of the more important factors. If you're really trying to gain some serious weight you must consume protein drinks. It's one the easiest ways to consume enough protein per day to meet your requirements. Here are a few of my favorite recipes for protein drinks.

I like drinking my shakes right after a good workout. That's one of the best times to consume a protein drink, your body needs these nutrients to start repairing your body and muscles.I would also suggest adding a serving of some omega 3 fatty acids to all your drinks. I hear it protects the heart and brain. Quick note: taking one tablespoon of flax seed oil(Omega 3) has lowerd my overall cholesterol by 49 points
