Thoughts on Shakes?

I still have several a week... sometimes AM's or hot days (love a frosty frappe style shake https://www.pinterest.com/eggface/protein-shakes-and-smoothi es/ on hot, triple-digit afternoons) I just don't feel like food but need to have my protein grams so for me they definitely help.

I love to cook (and eat) too but shakes still have a place in my life.

I am 1 year 3 months post surgery. I Still drink 1/2 of a premier protein shake in the morning when I get up and the other 1/2 before I go up to bed in the evening. It gets my morning started before the gym when I can't stand eating anything until about 10:30. It works great for me with 3 meals a day.
