Protein Shakes & Powders

Protein shakes are a popular and convenient way of getting additional protein into your diet, supporting your muscles throughout your gym training as well as being able to help you feel fuller for longer and aiding weight loss too. 

Is protein powder good for you?
How "good" protein drinks are completely depends on how they are used and your goals, whether that be wanting to gain muscle or if you want to lose weight. The use of protein powder not only improves body composition, but it also improves recovery, and can also help you to feel fuller for longer, making it protein shakes a suitable aid for weight loss.

What does protein powder do for your muscles? Protein powder acts similarly to other sources of protein, providing the building blocks required to repair and rebuild muscle after exercise induced damage. Quite often this protein is derived from animal products, however you can still get a plant-based protein powder fix with vegan protein powder.

Are protein powders suitable for women?
Protein shakes for women work just as well as they do men, with research consistently showing how helpful they can be to helping women improve body composition, enhance recovery and better manage bodyweight.

How much protein do I need in my diet?
For most of us, eating a healthy, balanced diet will provide us with enough protein. However, this changes in line with our activity levels or body goals. If your goal is to gain muscle and lose weight, your protein intake should be approx. 2.0g per kg of your body weight.

Not only are protein powders a convenient way to up your protein intake, especially if you’re on the go, but they also come in a wide variety of flavours including innovative flavours including Grenade protein shakes which come in pre-made formulas so you can just grab and go with these delicious drinks.
