protein shake

Post-workout beverage

A protein shake is a beverage made by mixing protein powder with liquid—typically water, milk, or a milk substitute.

Popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for muscle recovery and building, protein shakes are consumed after workouts or as meal replacements: I grab a protein shake on my way out of the gym.
