Howdy Matt, I don't use supplements any longer. This is what I was using.

I used to order it online direct from them.
What's your sport or goal? Bodybuilding, cycling, etc...?

Yes, the book recommends drinking a protein/recovery shake immediately following workouts, particularly high intensity workouts.  The reason for the shake is, although your body is screaming nutrients/glucose stores to be replaced, you usually don't want to eat right after a workout.  So, the author recommends drinking a lot of water, and using a recovery shake.  The recovery shake is a combination of carbs and protein (using fruit/juice/protein). 

Although most people do not workout at the intensity that would require the shake, as the author points out, i was looking into doing something along those lines, as my workouts do tend to go an hr and half or so.  My goal is to trim down, get stronger.  I do about a 10 min of cardio warmup, half hr of weight training (a very intense workout that is basically circuit training with no breaks), and about 45 min of cardio afterward.  Intensity varies on the cardio stuff; usually I do not push myself on days where I'm also lifting. 

The reason I bought the book, is two-fold - I wanted to learn about the Paleo diet, and also to learn how to *time* my meals (when and what to eat before/after workouts) to maximize my workouts, and not hit a wall, or get fatigued in the middle of a workout. 

I'm still not sold on using a shake - but was just curious as to what protein powder would be considered 'paleo'.

Thanks for your input!

Matt…if you want to give egg white powder a try without buying a large amount of it, you can get a product called “just whites” at most grocery stores in the baking section.  There’s nothing else added.  It is pasteurized, I assume all would be.  This link is just egg whites too, not the one I was looking for but a Much better price if you’re going to use it often.  A tiny can at the store is about 12 bucks while this is about 10 bucks for a whole pound!… http://www4.netrition.com/now_egg_white_protein_page.html#NUTFACTS

I like shakes now and then but solid food does keep me feeling full for much longer than liquid anything…egg white powder added or not.

I think we can also get plain egg whites (in a carton) in the freezer section in Australia - maybe you can try there also?

Plain egg whites are also available in cartons in USA in many stores.   I get them at Trader Joes in the dairy/egg section - not frozen just refrigerated.
