Three Protein Shakes To Celebrate #NationalShakeMonth The Healthy Way
This month is National Shake Month, and while it may bring to mind chocolate milkshakes (or the like), we want to give it a healthy spin. So, here are three recipes for Protein Shakes that are perfect companions for your next gym session. After all, healthy living is the best living…wouldn’t you agree?
Let’s talk the base of all these shakes. Our Whey Protein Isolate Powder (Unflavored) is great to get nutrients without added flavor, this way you can focus on mixing whatever fruits, and milks together you prefer without worrying about the powder impacting it. Here are a few facts on Whey Protein, in case you aren’t a protein guru already:
What Does Protein Powder Do?
It helps to benefit you when you’re working out. Protein is the main structure to muscles, and if you’re working your muscles, giving them a helping hand with what you eat is always a good thing.
What Is Whey Protein?
Whey Protein is sometimes referenced as a “complete protein”. It supplies all the essential amino acids your body needs to make the most out of your trip to the gym. In fact, it has been used as far back as Hippocrates and the Ancient Greeks.
How Much Protein Does It Provide?
This protein powder packs 25 grams per a single scoop (equates 28g of powder)…pretty convenient, eh?
