Protein shakes, what are they?

In recent years in the fit world, protein shakes have become popular ... Surely if you have never tried them, or if it is your first approach, you are wondering what exactly they are and if you can take it or if you need to take something into account particular...

The first thing to know is that when we talk about a protein shake we mean generally sweet-tasting and smooth-textured beverages that have a high concentration of these macromolecules, presented in an easily assimilable way for our body.

How do I choose a protein to start consuming it?

As we recommend before, it is good to consult a professional to indicate which is the type that best suits your needs and it is also very important to check the origin of the ingredients. We recommend that you always choose those options that do not use preservatives or genetically modified foods. Many foods hide behind being healthy and in fact their intake can harm us.

Most importantly, remember that consuming protein shakes is not necessarily the same as maintaining a healthy diet. That's why te we always recommend following the advice of a nutritionist and not abandoning your attention for the rest of your diet in order to have a balanced intake of food and nutrients.
