Protein cocktails for women. What should it contain?
Hunger can strike at any time. However, this should not be considered a reason to abandon healthy eating and switch to unhealthy snacks. If you have no idea of a quick and nutritious meal that will give you a large portion of protein in your daily diet, take a look at this amazing and delicious protein drink for women!
Which supplement to use in a women's protein shake?
The basis of protein shakes for women is of course proteins, which must be obtained from sources that correspond to our tastes. Milk and dairy products, such as kefir, natural yogurt, yogurt, or different types of cheese (such as mozzarella, cottage cheese, or cottage-grain
cheese) would be a good choice. The proteins in these products are well absorbed and lead to an adequate level of satiety. Unfortunately, it can be very heavy on the stomach and takes time for complete digestion. This is very important when drinking the prepared cocktail before a planned workout.
However, if you are looking for a delicious, full-bodied, and above all easy-to-digest protein source, you should choose the protein feed from Olimp Sport Nutrition. They are preparations in the form of an easily soluble powder, which, when mixed with water, makes it possible to prepare a delicious drink with many exciting flavors. Conditioners such as:
100% Whey Protein Complex or Pure Whey Isolate 95 are a suitable source of whey protein, allowing you to grow and maintain your current weight. In addition, protein promotes the maintenance of bone health and enriches the diet with a complex of endogenous and exogenous essential amino acids (including EAA, BCAA and L-glutamine).
Can protein shakes for women replace a meal?
Of course, a protein cocktail for a woman cannot consist of protein alone. If we plan to incorporate it into the daily menu and treat it, for example as a pre-workout meal or a second breakfast, we must ensure that there are remaining macronutrients. Carbohydrates will serve as an easily absorbed source of energy, and will give the cocktail a refreshing and tasty taste. For our part, we recommend a selection of fruits that will give a creamy texture, such as bananas, pears, mangoes and strawberries.
Of course, we cannot forget about fats, which will serve as our energy reserve. Healthy fats are real fuel for the nervous system that during training puts an incredible test of stamina against increased psychophysical fatigue. So it is interesting to enrich your cocktail with your favorite types of different nuts, grains or seeds (for example, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds) or nut pastes (for example, tahini, almond cream). Some recipes also recommend avocados or traditional liquid fats such as olive oil or flaxseed oil.
How to prepare protein cocktails for women?
Preparing a home protein cocktail for women is trivial! We will have to prepare the following meal:
- One serving of the Olimp Sport Nutrition protein supplement
- 1 serving of fruit (e.g. 120g banana - 1 medium unit)
- A handful of walnuts or 1.5 teaspoons of your favorite paste
- 150 ml water or skimmed milk
The ingredients should be combined in a tall, flat bowl (preferably a shaker), poured with water or milk, and then mixed until a uniform consistency is obtained. If the prepared cocktail is too thick, it can be slightly diluted with water. Some spices can be used to improve the taste, such as cinnamon, ginger, cardamom or a pinch of salt.
