Umm the powdered kind mixed with milk lol. You just buy it in like 2 or 5 or 10 pound tubs. If you get what I use, and use it in water, it has 3g carbs, 1.5g fat, and 23g of protein. Or milk adds like 13g carbs and 8g protein, plus with milk it digests slower. , thats the site I use to get my protein powders. The stuff I use isn't the best tasting but its alright and It's the cheapest for it's quality. But I also buy 10 lb bags of it lol. I get 100% whey protein, in chocolate. I have only tried chocolate and strawberry, I recommend the chocolate lol. If you do get that brand whatever you do DO NOT GET COOKIES AND CREAM. lol sorry I have no recipes. Some people recommend not eating before cardio, I do mine in the morning before I eat. But I guess make your own decision. and good luck in your powerbar/protein shake findings. Oh and your canadian so your shipping may be too high. lol I hope i just didn't void my whole post. Did I help in any way lol., looks like I just rambled as usual........
