You could make these with less, or even no, honey.

For some reason, the higher-processed, lower-quality foods are almost always less expensive.

Between whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, which among the two do you think is more expensive? Try to visit http://www.squidoo.com/high-protein-shake if anybody want more info.

Not the greatest nutritional bargain, for a number of reasons, to swap the almond butter out for peanut butter.

The foremost is that almond butter is high in monounsaturated fat and peanut butter is high in polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fat poses several health issues. Most people eat too much of it. It can convert to saturated fat in the body when eaten out of balance. It also is very unstable to light, air, heat, etc.

If you do use peanut butter, I recommend buying organic.

These are fantastic. My fiancee and her family raved about them. I also have the nutrition values worked out if you’re curious.

Jordan, specifically what I use is “New Zealand Instant Whey Protein Powder,” which is whey protein concentrate available in bags from the store formerly known as Vitamin Cottage (it’s now Natural Grocers). There are basically three types of whey powders out there and two of them you want to avoid. Avoid plain whey powder as it is very high in carbohydrate (lactose) and low in protein. Also avoid whey protein isolate because it may contain MSG due to overprocessing (though it won’t be listed on the label since it is not added). The type you want to buy is whey protein concentrate.

Glad you liked the fishing story. This nice weather today had me thinking of fishing too.

What kind of Whey, like the stuff you can get at GNC? Also, I really liked your fishing article, makes me want to dust off the fly-rod.
