Protein Drink Recipes

If you think protein drinks just taste chalky and completely miss the mark in exciting your taste buds then you are in for a surprise.

We’re going to look at 5 tantalizing protein drink recipes that will blow you away and will be a perfect substitute to a snack that just won’t provide the same punch in the amino acids that will feed your muscles.

Remember protein drinks are a fantastic way to allow your muscles to get stronger and grow and at the same time increase your metabolism to burn fat faster even during rest state. I even have my mom taking it so that she can overcome waist-damaging cravings and the results she has gotten has been quite amazing even though she is over 60 (sorry mom for giving your age away!).

First thing is first, if you’ve had the unfortunate experience with grainy protein powders then you most likely have tried a low quality version that hasn’t been filtered properly. Top quality whey proteins create a very nice rich and smooth texture.

Protein Drink Recipes: The Top Protein Powders

I think user experience reviews talk for themselves and proteins that are of the highest quality will have the best reviews bar none. From my extensive research these are the top protein powders in the industry and most of them have a wide spectrum of flavours that will please any taste!

Optimum 100% Natural Whey – no artificial sugars, colors or preservatives and it tastes great. My top pick!
Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion – the milk chocolate flavour is by far the best tasting in the market!
Optimum Platinum Hydrowhey – lactose-free for those of you who are lactose intolerant.
Vega Sport Performance Protein – a completely vegan protein source.
Muscle Pharm Recon – awesome protein for after your workouts as it includes BCAA’s for advanced muscle recovery.

Take it from me, order one of the above because you are going to get a great tasting high quality protein that will last you months. Perfect for fighting cravings of junk foods, helping you grow stronger leaner muscle and at the same time helping you burn fat faster.
