FAQ
When is the best time to drink a protein shot?
It depends on your lifestyle and what you want the protein shot to work for.
Suggestions:
# Morning: Mix a protein shot with your cereals instead of milk. After a night’s sleep your body needs protein (unlike fat- and carb deposits, your body don’t have protein deposits to store protein; so you need to get your protein – and 8 essential amino acids – through your meals).
# Before meals: If you want to burn fat and eat less a protein shot 30 minutes before each meal can make you eat less, because you get easier satisfied. And when the calories you eat come from protein instead of carbs and fat, you’ll burn more body fat. Evenings are especially the time of day you need the least energy, so make sure you don’t eat too much. Eating more energy than you’ll need will only make it get stored as fat while you’re sleeping.)
# Before workout: The protein shot will quickly be absorbed by your body. The amino acids released will help your body get results from your workout. Take a protein shot right before workout.
# After workout: To recover and get results from your workout. If you want to burn fat don’t eat or drink anything else than the protein shot and pure water the next 45 minutes after your workout. That way you’ll take advantage of the fat-burning condition.
# During physical activities: Anytime you’re using your body, you can get the best results out of the effort by taking a protein shot to recover and rebuild. Next time you’ll be even stronger (and better).
# On-the-go: When you’re on the go and need a fast blood sugar stabilizer (to prevent yourself from jumping all over snacks and fast food) a protein shot is instantly at your service.
# Weekend/Vacation: When you’re far away from your daily routines you might have forgotten your healthy eating habits at home. A protein shot is a great travelling partner if you just want your suitcase – and not you – to be heavy when your vacation is over.
# In recipes: Not even can you make healthy, sugar free recipes and snacks with protein shots; you can also use it in other meals like smoothies, cereals, bread, cakes, desserts. That way you can make the unhealthy a bit more healthy.
