Protein shakes are rising in popularity for so many reasons – the lean protein with minimal extra carbs and fat allows you to build muscle, lower body fat, and improve your overall health. They often contain lots of vitamins and minerals that give you energy, and boost your physical performance and mental function. People drink protein shakes to be healthy in general, and many use them in conjunction with an exercise routine.
Most of these people, however, if asked, would tell you they’re not overly excited about taking a scoop from their protein powder sitting in the pantry at home. Although they know how ‘healthy’ they are, it’s a known fact that most protein powders don’t taste usually the greatest, whether they’re blended with milk or water.
Protein powders tend to have a bitter or unsatisfying taste for several reasons depending on the brand; often though, it is due to the artificial sweetener and flavoring added to them.
Having said that, if you’re drinking a protein powder regularly, you’re doing your body a HUGE favor – here’s why:
All the cells in our body contain protein, therefore we need to consume extra protein for our body to be able to repair cells, and create new ones. In other words, it rebuilds tissue. It’s important for our bones, skin and cartilage and development in children, teens and pregnant women. It is also extremely beneficial for the elderly to rebuild tissue and keep their bodies healthy and strong. Getting enough protein helps with weight loss, partially because we feel more ‘full’ when we include enough protein with each meal.
Protein powders are a great option for boosting your protein intake without the addition of other things that may not be as healthy. For example, if you’re getting your protein from chicken wings, hotdogs or vegan meats – yes, you’re consuming protein, but you’re also getting other stuff with it than isn’t as good for you.
