As you may know, I am on the quest to find the perfect protein shake! I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have picked up a protein shake, read the nutritional value, putting it right back and walking away appalled with how much added sugar and unnecessary processed ingredient are included. That’s why, I have made it my goal to find the perfect protein shake!
