Do you think i should add a protein shake with my workout?

Depends: What are your goals? If trying to lose weight, then skip the protein shakes. If you are trying to gain weight or add muscle, then consider whey or similar protein supplement post workout. You can also use real food like lean proteins post workout to achieve similar goal.
