These protein recipes have been our saving grace on so many rushed mornings when we needed a quick breakfast, snacks after school or on excursions during the day, or when you start getting hangry and need a quick hail Mary! There are many options so you’re sure to find one you love!

When shopping for a protein powder, pick a shake that has:

1) Leucine (Essential Amino Acid) - helps improve metabolism, burn fat & build lean muscle.

2) 20 grams or more Protein - super important’ 20 grams is the baseline for Muscle Protein Synthesis which means you want your body to burn fat for energy, NOT muscle!

3) Be Organic, NonGMO, GF and have DF options if you need that.

you don’t want to undo all your hard work at the gym and you want as many muscle gains as you can, especially as you age. Interesting fact, many seniors cannot eat enough protein so doctors suggest they use a protein shake to help boost their levels and keep bone loss and muscle loss at bay. I love Life Shake and it’s served our family well even though we have different goals between my high school rugby player, my 10 yr old son, my husband and I. I love that there are so many proteins to choose from and Whey, Soy or Plant Based sourses. Let me know if you have any questions!
