Does this make me a bad father?

Okay, wife was out and I had to feed the kids last night. They always want a taste of my myoplex shake cuz I make it with a little diet coke and it looks like a chocolate shake to them. So last night I made up a double batch and gave each of them their own serving and they loved it!

One of the easiest family meals I've ever made, but hard to explain to mom at first.
Has anyone else tried this? If we eat so healthy why not pass it on to the kiddos?

Absolutley not. You fed them a nutritious meal. You could have fed them hot dogs!

I use Prolabs whey protein all the time. My daughter who's 6 love's the chocolate flavour but I'm concerned that THAT amount of protein will be hard on her kidneys as high protein can be hard on the kidneys.
To be honest if I was going to make it a routine I'd ask around first. E.mail George as he's a mine of information on things like this.
I try not let my daughter use it, so I have Cadburys chocolate drinks handy for her.

Well of course I didn't give them an adult-sized serving. Like I said, I split a double batch amongst them. I have 5 kids so they got about 10-15 grams of protein each.

I wouldn't make it a habit, but, sure why not..when I have my EF shakes, I save abit for my son..he loves it.....a load of protein wouldn't be great for them, but, abit will not hurt them....besides the fact, my daughter loves protein, for some reason..I'm talking meat and chicken and fish and such....she just about eats the same food I do.....

It's funny how easily children are influenced. She sees you eating healthy and wants to do it also. You are setting a great example and that is proof.

Careful, you'll create a little mommakin, and then you'll be dealing with the boys comin' round!
