Protein shake for 20grams of fat

On my second shot of triple therapy, last night I made a protien shake with whey protein, a tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 and a half cups of milk, I figured it to be about 26 grams of fat. My question is, is liquid fat ok or do I need food. The shake is much easier to do at 6 am and 10 pm.
Thank you
Joe

if u get tired of peanut butter just add avocado to any fruit shake and it blends in great giving fat and extra thickness with little flavor so goes well with raspberries mango banana or any other flavor. good luck, babs

Some may not agree with me, but it is my understanding that one should take something solid with the liquids, even if the liquids contain 20 grams of fat by themselves.

I ate a ton of Greek yogurt for my fat as well as eggnog, but I always made sure I took something solid with it. Usually in the am I ate Greek yogurt and also some buttered toast along with it as well as a banana.

You've put some thought into this! Well, I drank a lot of protein shakes and when I got too tired to make one before work, I bought the ready made ones that had the most protein n fat. Yours sounds yummy. Some days I could swallow it better than others. Whey protein w/ frozen fruit worked best for me...

20 grams of fat is 20 grams of fat no matter which way you shake it so if it works stick with it.
