Whey protein shakes
It has been proven that whey protein shakes have a high nutritional value and numerous benefits for your health. Whey protein is an excellent source of high quality protein that helps you improve your muscle mass, lower blood pressure, treat type 2 diabetes, reduce inflammation and also keep you fuller for longer, which is ideal for people who want to lose weight.
“I am always in favor of having a homemade whey protein shake with almond milk and 1 cup of frozen berries. Whey is highly bioavailable, so I know that my body is actually using this type of protein to build muscle, which keeps my metabolism fast. Many ‘pseudo-health’ drinks, while made with natural ingredients like fruit, provide the body with large doses of sugar,” said Holly Lofton, M.D., director of the Medical Weight Management Program at NYU Langone Medical Center.
“Though they may also have vitamins, your body sees those types of drinks as nothing more than taking a vitamin and following it with a sugar drink. With my busy lifestyle, I can count on the whey protein shake to be convenient, vitamin-rich, and most importantly, keep me full for about 4 hours. It’s also good for minimizing bloating when fitting into the latest fashions,” Lofton added.
