You should have heard the certain promises about protein powders and shakes to help you get healthier in no time and having your ideal physique. But do these ultimate protein shakes really contribute to your nutrition? Let us expose the reality of such high markup, and glamorous marketing products.
Protein powders often contain irritative, unsafe and impure supplements and are of low quality. During processing the nutrition is also removed and can be harmful for the process of detoxification in your body. That can also cause inflammation in the body. The more processing and stripping of nutrients lead to a nutrient deficit. These protein powders and shakes are the major cause of the imbalances and deficits in nutrients (most commonly in America).
Here are some drawbacks of protein powders that will never be advertised:
Nutrients in a natural food are removed by more processing. According to Ray Peat, “Powdered foods that contain tryptophan are extremely susceptible to harmful oxidation, and the best things are removed, for example calcium, lactose, and casein, with its anti-stress properties.
Refined food can cause imbalances in the body, so do the protein powders and shakes, leading to inflammation.
Naturally, proteins have certain amount of fat in it like egg and yolks, but in protein powder necessary fat for optimal absorption of nutrients is stripped out.
Such products contain supplements, texture enhancers, and added synthetic nutrients.
It has been also found that some popular protein shake powders contain heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.
So here I am telling you the process of making a natural protein shake, with balanced whole food protein for optimal nutrition.
Ingredients:
3-4 Table spoons coconut milk.
2 Table spoons collagen hydrolysate.
2 Table spoons simple syrup or honey.
2 pastured egg yolks.
6 large frozen organic strawberries.
1/4-1/3 cup water.
Process:
1) Mix coconut milk, water, collagen hydrolysate, simple syrup & egg yolks in a mixer.
2) Add strawberries and blend until it get smooth.
3) And you are all done, enjoy.
