How to Get Maximum
Health Benefits From Your Protein Shake
A protein shake is a
drink that you can use to help you build muscle, improve your health or lose
weight. The idea is that you’re providing yourself with a convenient way to
increase your protein intake, which is useful because protein is what the body
uses to make muscle, make neurotransmitters and also repair wounds.
But not all protein
shake is made equal and if you’re going to get the best benefits from it, you
need to choose it wisely. Read on and we’ll look at how you can go about
getting the very most from your protein shake – by choosing the very best form
of protein and then turning it into a delicious smoothie!
Types of Protein
When you buy protein
shake, you’ll have a ton of different options to pick from. You can choose whey
protein, casein protein, egg protein or soy protein to name just a few!
Unless you are a vegan,
the best option for your protein by far is whey protein. That’s because whey,
which is a by-product of the cheese making process, is completely natural and
healthy with the ability to be absorbed very easily into the body. Whey is more
bioavailable when compared to soy or casein and cheaper when compared to egg!
The only exception to
this rule is that casein may be more useful when choosing a shake to have
before bed. That’s because casein absorbs more slowly, providing a steady
release of its amino acids that the body can use to build muscle throughout the
night.
You’ll also find that
protein shakes come in a variety of mixtures. They come in all manner of
flavors and with a ton of different added ingredients like creatine.
For our purposes, the
best thing to do is to find a protein shake is that pure whey with nothing
extra. This will cost a lot less (and you can source things like creatine
cheaply if you want to add them) but it will also mean you aren’t getting heaps
of carbs, sugars and fats added to your drink – so you’ll be building more
muscle and less fat!
And we’re then going to
add it all to a nice smoothie!
Making Your Smoothie
A plain whey is not a
very tasty drink but the good news is that you can fix that by adding it to a
smoothie and including your own flavors in the form of bananas, strawberries
and various other ingredients. The key here is to think about the flavor but
also the health benefits that you want to get from your smoothie.
Add whole milk to
improve absorption and testosterone production for example. Add strawberries
for vitamin C and antioxidants, or add avocado for more healthy fats and a dose
of extra protein. All this will go down much more smoothly, provide a ton of
extra health benefits and also be cheaper and more delicious. Go with the basic
stuff and make your own mix, it’s the only way to really make the most of your
shake!
