Protein shakes are healthy and easy way to add extra protein to your diet. You can add plant based protein powders, which usually consist of mushroom, brown rice, hemp, pea, or cranberry protein. This is a great option for vegetarians as plant based protein powders contain zero animal ingredients. Vegetarians can also add nuts, seeds, and legumes for extra protein.
If you want to turn your protein shake into a green smoothie JUST ADD GREENS! There are many tasty veggies that are a perfect addition to your protein shake or smoothie. Try spinach, kale, avocado, or cucumber! You could also add lettuce or collard greens- pretty much any leafy vegetable will taste great!
Plant based protein shakes are a perfect way to add super foods to your diet. My favorite super foods are coconut oil, raw honey, and raw cacao. You can also add super foods like spirulina, chlorella, and acai berry. Super foods are full of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and even antioxidants!
Traditional protein shakes contain scary ingredients such as super processed whey and soy protein filled with artificial ingredients and chemical sweeteners. New, healthy, plant based protein powders are proving to be more beneficial, with less side effects as well. Try making your protein shake with vegetarian protein from now on!
There you have it! Protein shakes can be the perfect way to prevent muscle soreness after a hard work out. They can also be a great way to sneak extra veggies and super foods into your diet. Simply avoid processed ingredients and you'll be on your way to making the healthiest protein shakes around!
