And why is that you are wary? Protein shakes are only whey. It is the by product of curdling milk, where the curds are taken away to make cheese.
People have a misconception that protein shakes are some sort of steroid super enhancing drug or something! It is just milk proteins.
I drink protein shakes because it is a cheap, quick way to get calories into me when I have a really busy week with work, my daughter, climbing, the gym, running etc. It is hard to find the time to make proper meals all the time, and particularly during the working day. I can mix a whey protein mix with whole milk and get quick and cheap protein, carbs and fats.
