The best thing about the challenge of strength training appropriately (out of your comfort zone) is the post workout protein shake. I am strength training 3x a week these days. During these sessions I am working hard. This means that once the session is over I need to recover with a delicious shake. I swear by Biochem’s Whey Isolate powder. It’s quick, convenient, easy to prepare, gentle on the stomach and tasty too, without all of the calories of a protein bar and added sugar. Today’s workout called for a chocolate banana shake – 2 scoops of whey powder, a banana, 3/4 cup of water and some crushed ice. Protein helps the body recover faster after a tough workout. You should be sure to have protein at each meal in an adequate amount for your specific needs. The next time you workout treat yourself to a shake. Notice that your recovery between workouts will be that much efficient!
