So for recovery after practice, something like chocolate milk is great, protein plus some carbs.MILK. Kids that weigh 70 pounds don't need many grams of Protein a day. Protein does not give an abundance of energy. The body prefers carbs and fat for energy. If the body must consume protein for energy it may cannibalize muscle tissue first.
My two cents.
I haven't tried these yet, but was intrigued by this recipe. If you have a peanut allergy I think you could use any nut/seed butter.

Protein bars and shakes are major staples for DS, but it's hard to find ones he likes and when we do, he eventually gets tired of them. I haven't had much luck with the hard-core body builder-type brands, but if you have found any that are particularly good, please post. I do make shakes at home, but packaged ones are handy for practice and meets.
So far his favorites are...
Bars:
Luna Protein Mint Chocolate Chip
Fiber One Protein Caramel Nut
Nature Valley Protein Peanut and Dark Chocolate
Shakes:
Post Goodness Mocha (new one I just found)
Odwalla Chocolate Protein
Odwalla Mango Protein
Thanks!
