Jelly Roll Shares His ‘Favorite’ Protein & Shake Recipe

The “Save Me” singer’s name is in the media a lot these days, especially given his recent divorce filing from his popular wife, Bunnie Xo. However, he’s also been recognized more and more for his dramatic weight loss.

Over the last five years, Jelly Roll, whose full name is Jason Bradley DeFord, has been working on getting healthier and shedding as many pounds as possible, given that he once reached a weight of over 500 pounds. He’s been sharing a lot of updates on his weight loss on his social media platforms, filming vlogs of himself working out or talking about the differences he feels in his body. He’ll also share some of his favorite weight loss meals, often crafted by healthy food cooks he brings on tour with him.

In a recent Instagram reel containing a clip from his new on-tour vlog, a slimmed-down Jason began talking about his favorite protein powder and the kind of shake he likes to use it in. He showed off a bag of the FlavCity All-In-One Protein Smoothie Powder in the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. He mixes it in a blender with oat milk, but says he’d do almond milk if he wanted to split the calories in half.

“This is the best shake I’ve had,” he says. “I would take this over McDonald’s.”
