Why not just eat meat?

Sure, protein shakes might be digested faster, but I'm against processed, I'm for natural. Who knows what essential nutrient is missing in these shakes that comes for free with meat.

If you're not working to actively put on weight or keep it on and you live in the west, you probably don't really need to worry about protein. Even those on plant based diets can get enough.

You can make a protein shake with just one banana, couple of egg whites and milk.

The problem is if you're doing serious weight training it's difficult to get enough protein from just eating natural foods.
