Let's talk about Protein Shakes!

🥛 Why are Protein Shakes so popular?

Protein shakes help people stay full longer on fewer calories, making them a quick tool for weight loss and appetite control. Today, mainstream consumers drink them as convenient meal replacements during busy workdays or as afternoon energy boosters.

Are all Protein Shakes actually good for you? Let's take a look...

🥛 There are basically three popular types of Protein Shakes

Those formulated with...

Soy- made from soy beans
Whey- made from a by-product of cow's milk
Vegan-- often made with pea protein, pumpkin seeds, quinoa, brown rice or hemp seeds

🥛 What's the optimal amount of protein in a protein shake?

The optimal amount of protein in a single shake is generally between 20 to 40 grams.

Some choose to have two meal replacement protein shakes a day to reach their desired level of protein.

General Fitness and maintainance: 20-25 grams
Muscle building: 30-40 grams
Meal Replacement and getting to that full feeling: 30-40 grams
Older adults: 35-40 grams

👉 What's the most imortant ingredient in a Protein Shake?

Experts and nutritionists agree that L-leucine is the ingredient that is most essential to an effective protein shake.

Not to get too technical, but L-leucine acts as a cellular switch, to signal the body to build and repair muscle.

Muscle Growth: Stimulates muscle protein synthesis to help build and maintain lean body mass.

Recovery: Aids workout recovery by reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and preventing breakdown.

Healthy Aging: Supports older adults in counteracting age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) when paired with resistance exercise

Shakes without L-leucine should be avoided as they are not effective in delivering the muscle growth, recovery and healthy aging that you want out of your protein shake.
