Hey there; Paul from UltimateFatBurner.com here.
Are you getting tired of drinking protein shakes that leave
you feeling hungry or don't taste the greatest?
In this video, I'm going to give you 5 easy ways to make your
protein powder shakes more tasty and a heck of a lot more filling.
I'll be right back in just a couple of seconds, stick around don't go anywhere!
Alright welcome back.
So let's get started talking with 5 ways we can make your protein powder shakes taste
a heckuva lot better.
1) Consume with milk
A lot of people consume their protein powders with water only, and when I ask them why,
they don't really know why.
The truth is mixing your shake with a cup or two of milk is the easiest and quickest
way to improve the taste of your shakes.
unless you're lactose intolerant or counting every last calorie, there's no reason why
you can't do this.
And honestly, you probably should, especially if you're taking a why protein; There is some
clinical evidence to suggest that the combination of a high quality
whey protein with whole milk - not low fat milk - whole milk - can actually stimulate
net muscle protein synthesis after exercise.
It's important that it was whole milk that showed a benefit - not low fat milk.
The combination of whey protein with carbohydrates has also been demonstrated effective for muscle
growth.
2) Add a high fiber cereal.
I do this myself - it makes the shakes much more filling and because it's crunchy, adds
a nice mouth feel to the shake.
I use Kellog's All bran buds, which contain a whopping 11 grams of fiber for every quarter
cup - which is almost exactly the amount you can fit in
a regular sized protein powder scoop.
3) Add an avocado to your shake.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking...
an avocado, really?
Yep.
Trust me.
That's what I thought too.
Until I tried it.
Adding an avocado to a shake mixed with milk changes the flavor only a tiny bit, but it
makes the shake super smooth and creamy, and SO filling, you
won't even believe it.
And of course, more nutritious as well.
One thing to keep in mind: avocadoes are high in calories and fat.
And although it's mostly monounsaturated fat - which is a good fat - adding avocado
to your shake can significantly increase its caloric value, so if calorie
restriction is a concern you may only want to add half of one.
Half an avocado can add up to 100 calories and ? grams of fat to your shake, a full sized
one, twice that.
4) Add berries
Adding a quarter cup of berries is a great way to boost the taste, the fiber and nutritional
content of your shake.
I usually add about a 1/4 cup of wild blueberries
to my shakes.
You can also add half a banana to your shakes if you
prefer.
5) Add ice
Not only does adding ice to your protein powder contribute to an enhanced mouth feel, it can
make a plain tasting shake taste significantly less so, simply
because of the relationship between food temparature and taste.
