A great pre or post-workout protein shake will have both a highly bio-available raw whey protein, like that found at completehealthdallas.com (use my name, facelessfatloss, in the coupon code for a discount) and a little bit of a natural sugar, ideally from a fruit with high enzyme content.
The whey protein is of course the most highly absorbed form of protein there is, and there are no other whey products that compare to Dr. Webster’s listed above. It is simply clean, pure whey, that comes from grass fed cows that have not been pumped full of antibiotics nor hormones, and has no added enrichments or any of the countless forms of filler-garbage found in every single whey product you’ll find at your local “health” food store.
People have even told me…as I’ve experienced myself…that they CRAVE this form of protein once they’ve had it.
It’s understandable. Our bodies want and need a clean protein source, and are almost completely unused to receiving such a full-spectrum, whole protein food. It is nourishment to the T.
When we couple this whole protein source with an enzyme like papain, found in abundance in papaya, it assists the body even more with digesting the protein and breaking the peptide bonds. In other words, it takes the protein and renders it down to it’s individual amino acids, making the work your body has to do to accomplish the same goal, that much less.
Make no mistake, you’ll gain the benefits of the whey regardless of the addition of the enzymes…because our bodies make enzymes for this purpose.
But as we age, the amount of enzymes we produce declines. And enzymes have SO many benefits for the body, both in digestion and obstacles like inflammation (I used mega-doses of enzymes back when I herniated my disc the first time to completely resolve it within two weeks…my body was VERY short on the enzymes at the time, and I’ve continued to benefit from them since then in all sorts of areas relating to overall health and fat loss).
One neat shake idea I’ve used on occasion that I really enjoy is a Papaya-Protein shake:
One scoop of raw why protein powder
1 Medium papaya, skinned and seeded
12 oz. spring water
Blend in my Magic Bullet blender.
I like to use the RenewLife DigestMORE Ultra enzymes for meals, but for a shake like this, the regular DigestMORE (which is less in cost) suffices just fine:
