Whey Protein Shakes
Whey Protein Powder is made by taking the protein rich element of cows milk, then filtering and drying it. There are two main types of Whey Protein, Whey Concentrate & Whey Isolate.
Whey Protein is said to be one of the best natural muscle gaining supplements due to it containing all 9 essential amino acids in good amounts per serving.
Whey Protein comes in a multitude of types and flavours, I would recommend buying your protein powder from a reputable brand, not skimping on the price and buying one with little additives, cleaner the better.

❌ Contains less protein per 100g compared to Whey Isolate
✅ Contains higher levels of protein

➡️ Adding a protein shake into your diet is a great way of achieving your protein goals.
➡️ Do not replace a meal for a shake, its called a supplement for a reason. Find out if you our lacking in your protein consumption via natural food sources and if so think about adding a protein supplement.
➡️ From personal experience, a natural flavour like strawberry, chocolate or banana mixed with milk is the nicest way to enjoy a protein shake.
➡️ I would be on team 'Whey Isolate' over Whey Concentrate, but depending on your budget and goals this can vary, so pick the one thats right for you.
➡️ The less ingredients in a protein shake the better, I personally get mine from Bulk Powders, as their shakes have very little to zero unwanted added ingredients other powders have.
