Whey Protein Shake 101 for Women

Weider™ Ultra Whey Protein™ Supplement

Many people tend to think protein shakes and protein powder are for bodybuilders, but protein-rich snacks can be a great way for anyone who is trying to lose weight. For women especially, protein shakes can help stave off hunger, curb total calorie consumption and encourage lean muscle development.

My Go-To Protein Shakes:

Mocha Whey Protein Shake:
Make your protein shake as usual. (1 scoop of chocolate whey protein & skim milk), but add half a teaspoon on instant coffee! This shake has the flavor of iced coffee with the health benefits of whey protein.

Cinnamon Swirl Protein Shake:
Make your protein shake as usual again, (1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein & skim milk) but this time add a pinch of cinnamon!

Banana Chocolate Protein Shake: (requires blender)
Make your protein shake as usual again again, (1 scoop of chocolate whey protein & skim milk) but this time add half a banana and then blend in a blender!

Protein Shake FAQ:

What is whey protein?
Whey protein is a nutritional supplement women can take to either help build muscle or to supply high-quality protein when losing body fat. The amount of whey protein you need to consume depends on your weight, your activity level and your fitness goals

What are the benefits of protein shakes?
Women who find themselves subject to cravings may find it easier to resist snacking after drinking a nutritious protein shake! For busy women, protein shakes are an ideal meal replacement choice, because they take only a few minutes to prepare and are easy to carry.

When should I be drinking my protein shakes?
One of the times that your body is in need of it the most is immediately following a workout since your body starts to heal the muscle immediately after a workout, taking protein at that time will give the body the fuel it needs to heal and grow your muscles.

For those who are pregnant heres why you should eat for you and your baby! Great Source of Omega-3 Every pregnant women knows how essential Omega-3 fatty acids are for a baby’s brain development. Most people choose to meet their daily requirement by consuming salmon or  fish oil supplements , however, the mercury content in fish tends to make most pregnant women worried.

Tea Sparrow Tea Review

Since I love tea and I received samples in the mail from a friend I am going to do a review on these particular brands of tea that " Tea Sparrow " sells and they are all  absolutely amazing! Tea sparrow is a very unique idea, you suscribe monthly and each month they send you a box full of different teas. Here is a blurb from their website of how it is works: "With your Tea Sparrow subscription, you'll receive a mix of our 4 favourite premium loose leaf teas. Each month you can look forward to receiving a total of 4 oz of tea, 1 oz of each blend. Every tea box includes a selection of both herbal and caffeinated blends to enjoy."

Breakfast

Not that I wouldn't eat this food when I'm not pregnant, but I feel it is extra important to get a variety of nutrients for breakfast after a whole night of fasting. Breakfast = BREAK fast, like break the fast! Get it ! I didn't realize that until recently. I got my chia seeds (fiber), cottage cheese (protein) on whole grain toast (some more fiber!!), some fruit (carbs and vitamins), and my vitamins! Usually I try not to eat to much fruit and more veggies, but with the baby I can splurge a little! Yes I eat kiwi's with the skin on , but its good fiber and has more nutrients (sort of like an apple the good stuff is in the skin), plus it's super sour and I love it! Please comment and subscribe! I would love to see your breakfasts too!
