Veggieswill bewell-versed in the many variations of soy (like tofu, edamame ormiso) and probably use themas a protein source in their diets, but perhaps haven’t considered the powder form. Like whey shakes, it’s a great source of post-workout protein to help start repair thosemuscles.Another vegan – and dairy free-friendly protein source is peaprotein powder – yes, that’s right,made frompeas! Peas are a fantastically healthy protein source and pea powder is full of those importantBCAAs and absolutely jam-packedwith nutrients.Hempprotein powder is also a vegan-friendly choice, and is full of healthy fats, and packedwith easily-digestible protein so aworthy choice. Protein shakes are typically
associated to bodybuilding,with supplement companies using ripped blokes and shredded girls in their advertising – but it can be a useful food to add to anyone’s diet. As I’ve said, getting enough protein
in your diet is crucial. Protein helps buildmuscle,whichwillmake you lookmore toned and boost your metabolism,which can help you lose weight – and it tends to keep you fuller for longer,meaning you’re likely to eat less. TheNHS recommends that the
average adult gets about 50g of protein per day (55.5g formen and 45g forwomen),which should fit in to a healthy dietwith plenty of
carbohydrates and healthy fats too. As a personal trainer, I recommend thatmy clients aimfor a littlemore protein than this – especially on training days – to helpwith building leanmuscle and calorie control. It can be tough sometimes to
make surewe’re getting enough protein, so aimfor a small portion with everymeal – and try to have high protein snacks throughout the day too. This protein can come from meat, fish, dairy products, beans, pulses and nuts – there are plenty of options! Protein shakes can be used at any time of the day, but are ideal for getting some importantmuscle- fuelling nutrition into your body before or after aworkout. In short, protein powders are not
essential – and can be pricey. If you feel like you’re getting plenty of protein throughmeats, eggs, dairy, beans and pulses, then good for you – and keep up the goodworkwith your balanced diet!However, if you strugglewith getting protein in, if you need easy nutrition on the go, or if you’re simply looking for a healthier snack option, then definitely consider it. Therewill be a protein powder out there that’s suitable for you, just have a shop around.
