Raju, just remember that your body needs 1 gram of protein per pound of muscle to maintain/build (some nutritionists even say a tad more). I do what Mael said, which is spread it out througout the day. One shake with breakfast, one right after I work out, and one at night. My question to you is what are your fitness goals? Go buy some fresh strawberries to mask the taste, those bananas are super high in carbs.

The brand that you are using "Protein by design" is good because it is already very low in carbs (2g) and low in calories (110) so you can afford to use it 3 times a day without having to worry about gaining weight in unneeded places. Just make sure you are just having the powder mixed with water instead of milk. That will give you 69 grams of protein (each serving is 23 grams of protein for your brand) coupled with the protein that you will be eating throughout the day in your normal meals, which all of them should include protein.
