Protein shakes (or protein smoothies) are a protein drink typically consumed before or after a workout in order to aid in muscle recovery. Protein shakes are usually made with frozen fruit/ice, a protein source such as protein powder, and a liquid. The healthiest protein shakes are the ones you make in your own blender because you can control what goes in them. The goal here is low sugar + high protein and no additives. Protein shakes are an excellent thing to drink after a workout to help your muscles properly recover. In addition to post-workout, protein shakes can be used as a meal preplacement if they have enough calories ore even a high-protein snack. Our preferred time to drink a protein shake is post-workout, but it has been said that either before or after a workout will provide the same benefits! #proteinshakes #proteinshakesmoothie #proteinshakesandweights #gains #proteinshakesarelife #proteinshakesforbreakfast #proteinshakesrecipes #proteinshakesforwomen #proteinshakesforweightgain #homemadeproteinshakes #homemadeproteinshakesarethebest #cleaneating #healthyeating #nutrition #cleaneats #mealprep #foodprep #fitfood #protein #weightloss #mealplan #paleo #healthychoices #mealprepsunday #healthyfood #mealprepping #macros #mealprepmonday #flexibledieting #iifym https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5svQLJMyX/?igshid=1uhiyb4ppn4px
