Want a tasty protein drink after you’ve finished with your workout? I have one for you!
I’ve made homemade chai tea before so I figured throwing in some vanilla protein powder would make it a tasty power drink. I’m sure people have their own way of making chai tea but here’s mine:
2 Chai Spice tea bags steeped in 1/2 cup of hot water (10 to 15 minutes; depending on how strong you like your drink)
1/2 cup of milk (soy, almond, or whatever type of milk you like)
Ice (4 to 6 cubes)
1 to 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder
BLEND THESE INGREDIENTS FOR A MINUTE SO YOUR DRINK WILL BE SMOOTH. IF NOT BLENDED PROPERLY, YOUR DRINK WILL BE GRAINY DUE TO THE PROTEIN POWDER.
And there you have it! You have a new, tasty protein drink!
If you’re looking to add muscle mass, drink protein shakes in addition to eating lean meat packed with protein (chicken, turkey). If you want to get lean and toned, drink protein shakes as a meal replacement. Don’t eat any meat in addition to this. If you do, eat a small portion. You will find yourself gaining instead of losing.
The best time to drink a protein drink is after an intense workout. You need to replenish your body and nourish your muscles. If your workout is in the morning, eat a piece of fruit before you exercise. Then finish with a protein drink and small meal (oatmeal, fruit, eggs). These foods are perfect for a post workout.
Hope these ingredients and tips were helpful! Enjoy your drink!
