Joined: May 2009 Posts: 114 | How about muscle milk! Jenka got me thinking again about what my raDIATION diet will look like, especially towards the end.
Muscle Milk has tons of flavors. Calories in the 600 + range. I used it as a supplement durig weight training.
Calories 640 w/milk
Protien 32g
Closest think to a milkshake I have found when mixed with milk or soy milk.
Slightly gritty but I take a braun hand mixer and add oatmeal to it before add all the milk. I mix until the oatmeal is broken down as smooth as possible. then add reat of milk.
