How to Choose the Best Protein Powder
Benefits and types of protein powders
Protein powder is a great way to energize and nourish your body. But with different types on the market, which one should you choose?
There are two main protein powders. Whey protein is rich in nutrients, easily digested, and includes all of the essential amino acids. Soy protein is a plant-based and lactose-free protein which can also help reduce high cholesterol.
Picking a protein powder
If your main goal is to build muscle, whey protein is the best choice. If you’re vegan and/or lactose intolerant, plant-based protein (such as soy) is the way to go.
The best protein powder for weight loss is the one without added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Powders with added branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) help promote weight gain, so make sure to stay away from these as well if your main aim is to lose weight.
Protein shakes
A great way to satisfy your daily protein needs is drinking breakfast smoothies. You can learn how to make a protein shake here. There you can also check out our store with some of the best shaker bottles on the market!
