Everyone says "make sure you drink a protein shake after your workout for major gains". Ok, maybe not everyone. Even less probably say it like that. But nonetheless people do say the best time to take a protein shake is after a workout because...science.
Well, since joining the dark side of 5:00am workouts, I've tried to remember to do just that. And at first it was hard... Not just hard to remember because it's the butt crack of dawn but because let's be honest it's winter, it's cold, I don't want to drink a cold beverage in the morning. And apparently neither did my protein powder because it kept clumping up in the cold almond milk (yes I splurge and nix the H20). At first I was just gulping it down but you can only force feed yourself for so long. So to battle this problem, I started warming up my milk first and BOOM. Life. Changing.
Now I know you're all wondering "Oh what protein powder do you use?" Right? I thought so.
I get my gains from
Pure Selection. Pure Selection is 100% whey protein isolate and uses Stevia as sweetener; comes in your classic chocolate/vanilla or shockingly chocolate/vividly vanilla. Because really, who needs more than that? No one drinks the strawberry flavor anyways. Good news is it doesn't taste like chalky cardboard the way some powders do. But also isn't as indulgent as some that contain real sugar. That's not to say it's not indulgent, I feel lucky getting to sip my warm vanilla "latte". And I put it in this pretty little container so it looks all special; adds a little excitement in the morning.
Some people start their days with a nice hot coffee, I like to start mine with a warm protein shake.
