I actually used to take a spoon full before training and to tell ya oatmeal and some caffeine works better. Never with a shake though, but sounds good. Too high in fat counting the serving size

Well, there are two problems here.

1. Eating peanut butter post-workout will really slow gastric emptying, which is the opposite of what you want with a whey shake. Peanuts are probably one of the most difficult (read slow) digesting carbs out there, and the fat content also further slows the digestion.

2. Peanuts are ok in moderation, but they are quite high in omega-6 fats. Most people get more than enough of this EFA anyway, and adding a lot more is no good and screws up the omega 3 to omega 6 ratio that you're trying to fix when you supplement with fish oil. Just use moderation and don't make peanuts or peanut butter a staple of your diet.

When I'm looking for more calories, I'll throw a huge tablespoon in a shake.
