Thanks for the question. The most popular pre, during and post workout shake is our AminoFormula because it’s the lowest calorie formula that supports muscle protein synthesis. It comes in many flavors. However, if you’re a competitive athlete not necessarily trying to lose weight, then FirstString is the shake of choice because it has the macronutrient ratio for hard training athletes and especially good for muscle gain. WheySmooth a complete low calorie protein source that is also popular if you’re looking for more protein with less calories. I have placed the list and summary below so you can choose as needed.
FirstString: Primary goal - Performance, Size and/or Speed
