No. At Evolve we recommend including protein shakes and certain protein bars in your daily nutrition for a few reasons. The primary being, those items are what we would consider “clean” convenience items. The number one reason we hear why someone fell off their nutrition plan is because of time. They didn’t have time to get their meal in, or cook, or there was a quicker option. Protein shakes and bars allow you to get some nutrient dense calories In for a snack or meal replacement rather than grabbing a bag of potato chips or that snickers bar.
