High Protein Shake - Five Tips
|
The first high protein shake tip is to use it as a meal replacement product. If you are on a diet you can use protein shakes that are designed as meal replacements to help you reduce your caloric intake while still providing you with all of the nutrients that you need. If you are on a low carb diet you can still use protein shakes as a meal replacement option, however, you will want to look for a low carb product as most protein shakes contain a lot of carbs per serving. The second tip for high protein shakes is to look for special deals to save money. Protein shakes are fairly expensive, so to save money you will want to look for clearance sales, buy one get one free offers, as well as discount club offers. If you buy your protein shakes from a sports nutrition store then you can sign up for their discount membership program. This will typically save you between 10 and 15 percent. The third tip is to use your protein shake mix to make smoothies. First you can mix vanilla with fruit juices and fresh berries to create delicious smoothies. Secondly you can buy an exotic flavored shake mix, like pina colada, and then mix it with pineapple juice and ice to create a party drink. The benefits of making smoothies with shake mixes are that they add fiber, protein, nutrients, and texture to your drinks. The fourth tip is to add your protein shake mix to your batters. Shake mixes with fruit flavors, vanilla flavor, or chocolate flavor are all great in pancake and waffle batters. They will not only add nutrients to your breakfast, but they will also add an interesting flavor to your pancakes and waffles. The fifth tip is to add your high protein shake mix to your baked goods. First you can add your shake mix to cookie dough to increase its nutritional value. And secondly you can add shake mix to your muffins and cakes. You will want to make sure that you select a flavor that will complement the other ingredients in your dough or cake batter. This may take some experimenting. The sixth tip is to add your high protein shake mix to sauces. If you plan on adding your protein mix to savory sauces you will want to find a plain flavor sauce. This way you won't be changing the flavor of the sauce, but you will be improving the protein content, fiber content, and nutritional content of your sauces.
