Protein Shake Recipes

Protein Shake Recipes

by Samantha Carter

Whey protein shakes along with whey protein itself have grown massively in popularity recently. The ability to get large amounts of protein quickly into the system has led to a huge demand for whey protein and whey protein based products. One of the most popular uses of this supplement is to make very simple but very tasty protein shakes.

Protein shakes are usually made with one or two scoops of whey protein powder with each scoop containing approximately 24 grams of protein each. One of the standard ingredients is milk, usually low fat skim milk. This is where the variety comes in, now based on what you wan you can have banana or any other fruit along with something like peanut butter.

When people hear the word supplements, they immediately think steroids. That was the image that whey protein had initially. Now people have gotten wise to its massive benefits and general lack of side effects. Unfortunately it is still a little expensive but in time should drop even further.
