To a Certain Extent

Like most things in life, protein shakes should be taken with a grain of salt (figuratively, not literally). Are there nutritious benefits to drinking protein shakes? Sure. Can they help supplement your body as you attempt to cultivate a healthier lifestyle? Absolutely? Are they miracle workers? No.

Keep Things In Perspective

While protein drinks can be incredibly healthy and helpful, they shouldn’t be your primary focus on your road to getting into shape. Many people get too focused on the shakes and end up neglecting everything else and that’s the last thing you want. As long as you keep your protein shake intake within the perspective of all the other work you need to do, you’ll be good to go in the long run!

Here are some simple, delicious smoothie recipes for you to enjoy pre and post-workout.

Banana & Frozen Raspberry Smoothie

Banana is a great post-workout fruit and is really easy to combine since almost everything goes well with it. For a more refreshing taste, you can freeze the bananas combining them with cold milk and some frozen raspberries. This will give you a great protein boost.

Strawberry & Banana Smoothie

One of the best-smelling fruits, the strawberry will give a great taste to the smoothie and will add carbs to the mix, complementing the potassium-rich banana. Usually, the amount we suggest is 1 cup of chopped up strawberries per one banana and then you can add bonus ingredients like peanut butter by choice. This is a nice carb boost with a smaller protein boost. 

Chocolate Chia Smoothie

For this smoothie, you will need to combine 1 spoon of cacao powder, a cup of milk or yogurt, one spoon of chia seeds, half a banana, and finally if you like you could add some protein powder with chocolate taste, making this a protein-heavy smoothie!
