Protein
shakes form an essential part in any bodybuilder's nutrition routine.
Protein shakes are usually consumed early morning, pre workout
and post workout although post workout is actually the best time
to have a protein shake when your muscles are depleted and you
need fast-acting protein like whey for muscle repair and rebuild.
Apart using a shaker, one of the most common ways to make protein
shakes is to use a blender. If you're adding fruits like bananas,
blueberries or strawberries and ice cubes to your protein shake,
it's necessary to use a blender to crush the fruits and the ice
cubes and mix them well with the whey protein and other ingredients
like skim milk etc...
One
of the commonly asked questions many people face when buying a
blender for the first time to make protein shakes is "What
is the best blender to buy?". With the numerous brands and
grades of blenders on the market, it's not easy to pick one for
sure. If your main goal is to make protein shakes and you like
adding ice cubes to your protein shakes or use frozen fruits,
you sure will need a good enough blender to do ice-crushing which
is a heavy-duty task. You don't necessarily need to get an expensive
blender of industrial/commercial grade for instance, a basic blender
under $100 will do the job just fine although it might leave some
bits and pieces of fruits, vegetables or ice. If you can live
with that, then investing in a basic blender is good enough, but
if you want your protein shake to be finely pureed, then your
best choice would be a heavy-duty blender also known as countertop
blenders. Heavy-duty blenders can cost $150 up to $500 or more
and can blend and pulverize food items till perfectly silky purees,
hence they are definitely a better choice and this can also be
a long term investment as they are usually more robust. After
research, here are some of the best blenders to buy to make protein
shakes.
