Rob Gronkowski
American Athlete
After a workout, you definitely have to have a protein shake. I drink my six-pound whey protein all the time, too. I throw some fruit in there - strawberries, blueberries - with some peanut butter and banana, and it gives you all the recovery you need from a hard day of lifting and running.
Quote examples
Chuck Norris
American Actor

Quote examples
Gautam Rode
Indian Actor

Quote examples

I try to get about 300 grams of protein a day, and I carry probably about a half-pound of whey protein on the road to supplement in-between meals. For the most part, I try to keep my carbs down and eat a decent amount of protein.
Quote examples
Anna Kaiser
