Protein Powder

I'm hoping some of you could give me suggestions for protein powders in an attempt to increase my intake.

I've never tried any before so recommendations on a plain one I could add to yoghurt soups etc would be great!

Any advise on how to best mix them up avoiding gloopy lumps etc would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

I use optimum protein just with breakfast add it to my oats, mixes really easily. I think it’s French vanilla I don’t stress the flavour which ever is the cheapest, turkey chicken eggs etc make up the rest of my daily protein intake.

I can second optimum nutrition whey . I’m using the strawberry at the moment & it’s delicious. One scoop into 300 ml of milk & shake it up … tastes just like a strawberry milkshake. Holland & Barrett have it on sale right now & you can get a shaker there too for a few euros.

Kinetica chocolate can be extremely rewarding in the evening times. Almost all of the ones I had are good mixed with oats. My biggest suggestion is start with a small quantity and know that there is quite a lot of differences across powders. Optimum was nice to me but often felt too heavy.

I use soy whey protein isolate from MyProtein. I look to take in 1 gram of prortein for every pound of bodyweight. So 200g a day for me.

Supplemented with carnitine, glutamine, and creatine monohydrate.

I can recommend Pure Whey Protein from Bulk from personal experience. Unironically considering we are on Fab, I usually opt for the Vanilla flavour 🤣

23g of protein per scoop at 113 calories. They have sales on all the time. 1kg is €28 right now, €17 off full price. Though it’s rarely at full price

The quality and taste are good, and it mixes easily into everything from smoothies, straight into yoghurts, or shake it up with milk or water. If you haven’t used protein in this way before, perhaps try it with water to begin with, as it can be quite heavy and unpleasant.

The protein shakers in Decathlon are also very good and only cost a few euros.

Best of luck with it

Best item for mixing smoothly is an nutribullet

Slightly expensive item but if your serious well worth the money

Take protein powder with chocolate milk. It helps boost your muscle strength. And speeds up the process too.

Completely depends on what you want it for.

Protein is designed to help you recover so that you can go again the next day. Not specifically for muscle growth. It’s a muscle repair.

If you want to recover faster you’re top brands ON, BSN, Kientic PhD nutrition all are roughly the same price with similar protein content and calorie content. (Go for a big brand because they are tried and tested and what they say on the tube is what you get)

As for gaining weight/ muscle you’ll need a mass gainer. With a high carb/ calorie content as well as a protein content. Or you could go a protein shake & a carb drink/ creamed rice. Or a lot of the big brands do a mass gainer.

From personal experience over the years. It is very hard to be Phd nutrition for quality and more importantly taste. Their diet whey as just a plain simple protein is close to impossible to beat. And their Synergy6 for a gaining muscle is also top drawer.

It will boil down to what you digest well. That can be a problem in its own right too. Which is why people jump on the beef/ clear vegan protein as they struggle with the dairy based proteins that can be lumpy as you mentioned

If you struggle with the Dairy/Chocolatey flavoured Whey Protein, there is also the option for clear protein isolate.

These come in a wide range of fruity/juice flavours. Albeit now the protein content in these can be less than what you would gain from whey protein you have the option for a summer fruits/lemon lime to name a few.

Happy hunting 😘

What a result that was for the cheese industry selling their waste product to the fitness industry for a high price.

Genius that was.. Pure genius

It really depends on you goal of increasing your protien intake, ex body builder/weight trainer here, it comes down to your end goal. Lots of other foods csn increase your protien intake without going down the protien shake route. If your training or getting more active and looking to pack in an extra protein meal, i would suggest a meal replacement shake between meals. I used to have breakafast at 6.30, meal replacement shake at 9, moring break in work at 11, lunch at 1.30, then evening meal would depend on gym day or not. But i would graze of high protein nuts/seeds during they dsy. A great way to increase the protien intake. You can get grest bundle deals online, and the more expensive poweders usually pack a big punch.
