Protein Shakes are for EVERYONE!


We hear about and see people drinking protein shakes all the time.

They're really popular in today's society.

The question is, "Are protein shakes just for people looking to bulk up?"

The answer is no, not if you are taking in the right amount, and they will restore muscle especially after your workout.

Protein shakes can be used for many different reasons. They can be used by people who need nourishment after they work out. It saves time compared to preparing a high protein meal. The protein can help repair damage to muscles. They are also great for vegetarians/vegans (there are plenty of vegan and gluten-free powders) because it provides vitamins and proteins your body may need. For dieting, protein shakes are ideal as a breakfast meal replacement because you are giving your body nutrients to start your day and get your metabolism going, instead of a fatty or high carbohydrate/sugary breakfast. You get more nutrition with fewer calories.
For example, if you consume a protein shake for breakfast, it would be around 250 (could be less, depending on how much powder or milk added), calories, versus a buttered bagel and glass of orange juice, which is around 500 calories. More energy, less calories! Protein shakes are also perfect if you are on the go. You can buy them in individual packets or cans. Easy to make- just blend, or pour into a cup with water and almond milk, and shake! No cooking required! Protein shakes make for an awesome nutritional supplement.
