Which Protein Powder Should I Use?
While I prefer to get my protein from whole foods, I do supplement with a protein shake because - let's be honest - sometimes I just don't feel like cooking or I just don't feel like eating what my hubby has already cooked! It's a great goal to get all of your nutrients from whole foods, but from my experience coaching, most people aim to do that but then fall short and find themselves in a bind because they are starving and aren't prepared with whole foods or a protein supplement! This leads to NOT eating enough! The simple solution is to find a protein shake that you enjoy and can count on when you need that quick meal. One of the most popular questions I get is "Which protein powder should I choose?". While I can't tell you which one will work the best for you, I can share with you which one I use and explain why. I use Shakeology for my source of both whey protein along with vegan protein options as well. Both varieties have great flavor (even when just mixed with water...but I like to jazz them up!) and they do not have that normal chalky protein powder taste or consistency!
Why do I love Shakeology?
Just to name a few reasons:
* It is high in protein and essential amino acids which helps build muscle and reduce food cravings.
* It has prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes which aids in improving digestion, regularity, and nutrient absorption.
* It contains nine adaptogens which boost the immune system...more than any other shake on the market.
* It has antioxidants and phytonutrients which help maintain health.
* It has 23 vitamins and minerals your body needs for optimal health and functioning.
It comes in a 30 day supply bag with a scoop OR it also comes in very convenient packets that are easy to throw in your bag and take on-the-go with you! I use this anytime I need a quick meal during the day and I always travel with them.
Shakeology in and of itself IS considered to be a complete meal, but since it is so low in calories, I like to add in some fun extras like all natural organic peanut butter or fresh fruit depending on which flavor I am having that day! Shakeology also bakes very well - I use it in all of my protein powder recipes now because of the health benefits and flavor it provides! PACKAGING: 24 packets (servings) per box - available in Chocolate, Vegan Chocolate, Strawberry, Vegan Tropical Strawberry, Vanilla and Greenberry.
OR
30 servings per bag - available in all of the flavors mentioned above. PRICE:
* For the packets it breaks down to less than $5.50 per meal!
* For the bag it breaks down to less than $4.40 per meal!
