Imaginative Homemade Bodybuilding Shakes Using Protein Supplements
Excerpt : If you are serious about building muscle mass or sculpting your body you most likely supplement your diet with commercially available whey or soy protein powders (and possibly other supplements). No
If you are serious about building muscle mass or sculpting your
body you most likely supplement your diet with commercially
available whey or soy protein powders (and possibly other
supplements). No doubt within a short period of time you
discovered the protein shakes whey powders produce may not be
the best tasting drinks you've ever had. Despite this you try to
stick with them because your goal is a better body and a
supplement shake that doesn't taste so great is simply a
sacrifice you make.
People find that the flavor of the protein shake powder they
paid a good money for quickly gets boring. If you are taking
your protein shakes two or even three times a day it can become
a real chore. This is when people start to experiment a little
by adding other ingredients to make their protein shakes taste a
little better.
You can soon turn your boring, often tasteless, protein shakes

mouth-watering bodybuilding or dieting delights. All you
need to have to get started is a blender and a little
imagination.
Some Tips For Picking Your Bodybuilding Shake Contents
Before rushing off to your refrigerator to blend everything in
site, let's go through some basic principles you will want to
consider first. Not only do you want to create the best tasting
shakes but you should also aim to make the most effective
protein shakes for your dieting requirements. This is important
because there is no point throwing full fat ice cream, chocolate
sauce, peanut butter and full fat milk all together to create a
wonderful tasting fat gaining shake. You need to be a little
wise when choosing your ingredients.
So what kinds of ingredients make good choices for your shakes?
I recommend using the following tips when getting your
ingredients from the supermarket or

refrigerator:
Try to keep as many of your ingredients as natural as
possible. A good example of this is using natural peanut
butter instead of regular peanut butter. The natural version has
better protein content and also natural fats that are important
in your diet.
Fresh fruit should be used whenever possible. Fruit
contains the carbohydrates that will fuel your workouts and your
day. The complex sugars in fruit are important to any diet
(unlike the simple sugars in sweets, sodas, etc).
Think about ingredients that will boost your shake's protein
content. For example, you could throw a handful of nuts into
the blender for a little extra protein without making the shake
much thicker. You could add a few raw egg whites (if you are
worried about eating raw eggs you may be able to find treated
egg whites in cartons at your supermarket). You could

always
simply dump an extra scoop of whey powder in there as well.
Make sure you have enough liquids. If you get a little
too carried away you may discover your shake is easier to eat
with a spoon then drink from a glass. When you first start
creating your shakes it is a good idea to add your liquids
(water, fat-free milk, fruit juices, etc.) in stages so that you
get your desired consistency.
Examine the nutritional information for each ingredient and
consider the impact it will have on your dieting goals. For
example, you may be opting for fat free (skimmed) milk if you
aren't trying to gain weight.
Always know what your goal is and make your shakes
accordingly. If you are trying to shed the fat you will be
skipping the types of ingredients that add too many
carbohydrates and fats while trying to increase the protein
content.

you might create a unique flavor. You can
try things like cinnamon, vanilla, honey, coconut milk, etc.
Once you get the hang of this you will see the possibilities are
endless.
Blending the Ingredients of Your New Protein Drink
Once you have decided on the ingredients for your shake you are
ready to start. It couldn't be simpler and if you can make toast
you won't have a problem. It's a good idea to think about the
order in which you will add your ingredients into the blender.
Always add your main liquid source first so that everything else
you add afterwards is easily blended. Following this, add your
protein powder and give your blender a quick 'burst'. Now you
are ready to add the rest of your ingredients and blend until
you get the right consistency. At this point you may want to add
a little more liquids to tweak your shake's thickness. Throw in
five or six ice cubes to
