Whey
protein shakes are one of the most popular drinks for bodybuilders
and athletes. These people need a good amount of protein due to
their active lifestyle with training. High protein shakes are
ideal for them since they are easy and quick to make homemade.
Whey protein shakes provide an ideal solution for these athletes
as they help supplement their nutrition. Protein shakes don't
replace normal meals but can sometimes substitute a normal meal
due to lack of time to prepare foods.
Also protein shakes like whey can be used as a post workout for
bodybuilders and athletes. After training, muscle glycogen stores
are depleted and whey protein is ideal to feed nutrients to the
depleted muscle tissues for optimum repair and growth. If you
want to learn how to make homemade high whey protein shakes recipes,
read on. Here, you will find a few recipes which are easy and
fast to create and which I've personally made. They are simply
delicious. In these recipes, I am using the Ultra Whey Pro Protein
Powder with the Vanilla Ice Cream flavour. This product is already
sweetened with sucralose also known as splenda, this is why I
haven't added any type of sweetening like brown sugar or stevia.
Incase you are using a product with no sweetener at all, you might
need to add for instance 1 tablespoon of brown sugar for taste.

So here you are with these tasty whey protein shakes recipes where
you can get a whopping 22 grams of protein from just 1 scoop.
You can drink protein shakes for your morning meals plus some
foods with it if you like for instance oatmeal, use it for post
workout whereby your muscles are much in need for fast protein
absorbtion and a liquid meal is preferred over a solid meal or
take it prior to bedtime to sustain muscle growth during sleep.
Tip 1: For skinny guys, adding
peanut butter in their protein shakes can help them bulk up as
peanut butter contains a good amount of calories, like 1 tablespoon
contains nearly 100 calories. Also in general, peanut butter are
good for health as they are loaded with mostly monounsaturated
fats which are healthy fats.
Tip 2: A protein shake contains
several vital nutrients which your body needs. What you get from
these recipes above are protein and monounsaturated fats from
peanut butter, quality protein from whey and soy/low fat milk(good
carbs from these milk products, dietary fiber which is good for
digestion(notably from soy) and calcium). Soy contains protective
phytochemicals, like isoflavones which can reduce LDL(bad cholesterol)
and even prevent certain types of cancer. Fruits like strawberry
and banana contain good vitamins, minerals, potassium, magnesium,
phosphorus and iron. To resume, a protein shake can be more or
less a complete healthy meal as it contains quality protein, good
carbs, healthy fats, some dietary fiber, calcium, vitamins, minerals
and water. Of course, you shouldn't depend on protein shakes for
your diet and solid meals should be the bulk of your nutrition.
