Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

Protein powder isn’t healthy in and of itself - and honestly most people don’t need it. Only take if you’re trying to bulk (or possibly if you’re vegetarian and need an addtl protein source). Would focus more on eating vegetables/fruits/Whole Foods if eating healthier is your goal

You don’t need all that, be aware of calories in smoothies. If you want energy without the jitters..Go on Amazon “BCAA Energy”, supposed to be used post workout bc it has amino acids but I use it pre work out to give me a steady energy boost.
