Posted on July 12, 2012 by Jennifer

  Patients often ask me what the best protein supplement is or rather which product tastes the best.  My answer is always that everyone will have a different taste preference.  Patients need to try out different protein shakes/powders for themselves.  Personally though I do not like thick creamy shakes.  I prefer juice type protein supplements.  […] Continue reading →
