THE HOMEMADE PROTEIN SHAKES ARE BACK!

Hey guys: The homemade protein shakes are coming back. Earlier this week, after running out of the Labrada LEAN BODY, the MetrX RTD 51, I realized that after talking with everyone, the tastes of these corporate-sponsored, mass-produced, fake-sugary based protein drinks were not to everyone's liking. In fact, most prefer the homemade ones in the kitchen.

Securing these drinks was a pain. The only place I could get the protein shakes from ( Nutrition Depot, Richmond Avenue and Fountainview ) was haphazard: sometimes they had the good shakes in stock, sometimes not, sometimes new staff would not let me mix-and-match chocolate, vanilla and strawberry (it depends upon who is working the front desk that day) and the taste was probably more sweeter than anyone could stand. Sometimes the store would be closed in the middle of the day for no reason. It was never about price.

Stand it you did, as one client, smiling through one LEAN BODY I handed to her said, "Sheesh, Mike" < fake smile > "...these taste wonderful." We laughed and I realized that we need to go back to homemade shakes with fresh non-fat milk (or low cal soy), milk-and-egg based protein powder and lots of fresh, organic blueberries, strawberries and banana's.

I tasted one homemade shake I made for Janet G. last night after her workout and realized how much better the taste truly was. However, its all about 'freshness.' It's made right here in the kitchen, we only use organic fruit and they taste pretty damn good. And its about having something made to your liking that tastes good.

Mike's Original Afterwork Smoothies are now back in b'ness...
