If a product has whey in it, be sure to look for “whey protein concentrate” and avoid whey in its isolate form. Most whey protein is denatured and sweetened and thus, biologically ineffective. Specifically, avoid whey protein (a common ingredient in many health store protein powders) unless you are certain that you tolerate dairy.
Opt for plant-based protein powders made with hypoallergenic ingredients such as hemp, rice or pea (or even a combo). If you must use a protein powder, then I suggest you consume in moderation and look for the following qualities in your protein powder: These provide the protein, the bulk/texture and satisfy without unnecessary additives. Ultimately, I suggest using protein powders made from whole food sources of protein, such as raw and soaked nuts or seeds (such as hemp, chia, flax, pumpkin or sunflower). Essentially, most are packaged foods and contain a lot of junk – including ingredients that you wouldn’t find in your grandmother’s pantry, can’t pronounce and wouldn’t grow in your own garden. In general, most protein powders readily available to consumers are filled with unnecessary sugars and even artificial sweeteners. Shakes make up a significant part of my programs. asks: What kind of protein power do you recommend on your programs?Īnother great question – especially for those who are just starting a program or kicking off the New Year trying to be more healthy.
