I'm glad to help with your question about protein shakes for your teenage son. Here's a summary of my previous response:

Whey protein powder: Choose a high-quality whey protein powder with low sugar and additives. Add fruits, vegetables, and nut butter for added nutrients and calories.
Plant-based protein powder: Consider pea, rice, or hemp protein for a vegan or lactose-free option.
Meal replacement shakes: These shakes provide a balanced meal in a liquid form, containing a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Smoothies: Combine fruits, vegetables, protein powder, and healthy fats like avocado or nut butter to create a nutrient-dense smoothie.

When selecting a protein powder or meal replacement shake, always read the label to ensure it contains high-quality ingredients and minimal added sugars or artificial flavors. Consulting a nutritionist or healthcare professional for personalized advice is also recommended.

Here's a template for a protein shake recipe you can try:

1 scoop of protein powder
1 cup of milk (dairy, almond, oat, etc.) or a dairy-free alternative
1 banana or 1 cup of frozen berries
1 cup of spinach or kale (optional)
1 tablespoon of nut butter or avocado (optional)
1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)

Blend all ingredients until smooth and serve. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to find a combination that your son enjoys.
