Frequently asked questions

Are protein shakes good for weight loss?

Protein shakes can help with weight loss because they’re filling and keep you satisfied for longer. Just be sure to balance them with other whole foods for a well-rounded diet.

How can I make my protein shake taste better?

If you’re not loving the taste, try adding natural flavor boosters like fresh fruit, nut butter, vanilla extract, or a pinch of cinnamon. A splash of almond milk or a drizzle of honey can also sweeten things up without adding too much sugar.

Should I drink it before or after a workout?

Ideally, you should drink protein shakes within two hours of your workout, which is when your body will absorb the most nutrients from the protein shake.

Which protein powder is best?

I like to use whey protein powder. This is the one I use if you're looking for a clean one with a great taste.

More ways to add protein

Want to add even more protein to your shake? Here are some high-protein ingredients to mix in:

• Nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter
• Seeds like chia seeds or flake seeds
• Greek yogurt (you can even try different flavours)
• Cottage cheese

Meal prepping your protein shakes

You can't pre-blend your protein shakes, because the powder will lose it's consistency. Instead, store all the add-ins in mason jars in the fridge. Dump everything into a blender, add in your protein powder and blend until smooth. Easy-peasy!

Meal prep tools

• Grab some mason jars for meal prepping the ingredients ahead and for serving these shakes.
• Here is the protein powder I use.
• I like to use a Magic Bullet blender to save time on clean up.
• My Vitamix is a must have for shakes, sauces, soups and purees.
