I love having a protein shake, why? Well protein is an important part to our diet and key to building and maintaining all types of body tissue, including muscle. Protein powder has become one of the popular nutritional supplements.
There are many different types of protein powders including diary-based and plant-based. According to researchers protein powders is not only a building block for muscles, but other benefits include weight management, recovery after exercise and added nutrition.
There are several different protein powders, common types being Whey, Casein, Soy and Pea
Whey - This is a water soluble milk protein. It is a complete protein which contains all of the amino acids that the human body requires from food. Your body absorbs whey protein quickly and easily.
Casein - This is a slow digesting dairy protein that people often take as a supplement. it releases amino acids slowly, people generally take this before bed to help recovery and reduce muscle breakdown while we sleep. Casein comes from a diary, making it unsuitable for vegans and people with milk allergies.
Soy - This is excellent for people who do not consume diary, It also contains all the essential amino acids.
Pea - This is a plant-based protein powder containing pea protein, which is high-quality alternative to soy and diary based proteins. Pea protein is a good source of the amino, iron and it can aid muscle growth, weight loss and heart health. Naturally vegan, gluten free and does not contain peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, cow's milk wheat or soy.
I have tried numerous protein shakes and I must say my favourite has to be from Arbonne. It contains Pea Protein and I love both flavours chocolate and vanilla and time to time they introduce limited flavours i.e. coffee flavour.

I love having my protein shake twice a day for breakfast and lunch. You can add fruits, chia seeds, flax seeds anything you want.
