Re: Protein drinks/shakes
Hello
I have never been a fan of drinking my meals but being a very busy single person leaves you with little time or wants for cooking meals. Lets face it if you are on your own cooking for one is not fun and eggs on toast looses its charm really fast. Enter the protein drink?
I used protein supplements a few years back and then quit for a while, that?s when I realized how important protein intake is for a woman. It defiantly helps keep the weight off. Anyway enough Blah, blah, blah? you want to know what works. Well I?m no expert but I can tell you that no matter what product I?ve tried they have all helped. I have recently discovered the joys of natural protein (no sweetener, no flavour). Yes I know your first thought is ewe gross. The guys a GNC cringe every time I ask for it.
I like the natural because you can create your own flavour and control the amount of sweetness. I just hate opening up a container of protein and smelling chemical strawberries and I defiantly do not dig artificial sweeteners. Unlike the natural, if you buy a flavour that you just can?t stand at least you are not committed to drinking that yuck for 2 weeks to 30 days. You can have fun with the natural by adding yoghurt, fruit and a sweetener of your choice. I am a variety girl so this is great? you get to change it up.
So here is my current fave?
1 scoop of ISO-PRO Low Carb Natural Protein Drink Mix (35g of protein), it has all the best ingredients.
2-3 Tablespoons of Milo or Ovaltine
1 Cup of milk, milk fat percentage of your choice
When mixed in a shake maker or blender can you say mmm? Wendy?s Frosty.
It also mixes up great in a shaker.
If you?re lazy/busy like me I make the industrial size that way I?m good to go for a few days at a time
6 cups milk, 6 scoops protein, 2 scoops milo/ovaletine using the protein scoop, in a 1.5 litre jug.
This drink is not too sweet, too chocolate, its mmm malty good!
Cheers
