Tired of hearing that protein is the top macro for weight loss? Unsure how to incorporate the necessary amount into your daily diet?
Feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of protein powder options and questioning their value?
In this episode, I'll explain why it's worthwhile to include them in your regular diet. Many women don't consume enough protein. Powders make it easier to increase intake without having to consume more food or snack on chicken breasts – not so appealing, right?
They can assist in achieving the protein levels needed for weight loss and fat loss goals.
I'll also share my favorite products and my preferred way to make a shake.
Favorites include:
Vegan - Truvani: I prefer the peanut butter flavor, but chocolate is also good. Find it on Amazon
Vegan - Orgain: Available at Costco. I wait until it goes on sale!
Whey - Legion: Chocolate is my go-to flavor.
Whey - Ascent: Chocolate is also my favorite here. Also available at Costco. I get it on sale!
Here's my top shake recipe:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop of protein powder (vegan versions preferred as whey tends to froth too much)
- 1 TBSP chia or flaxmeal for fiber
- 1 TBSP MCT oil for healthy fats
- A few ice cubes and possibly a little water
Blend until smooth (I use a Nutribullet).
