How to Prepare GNC Whey Protein Shake
Learn how to prepare GNC whey protein shake. GNC whey protein powder is easy to prepare. It's instantized whey protein, which means that the powder dissolves as soon as it mixes with water.
The simplest way to prepare a GNC protein shake is to use the following recipe.
Ingredients
* 1 scoop of GNC whey protein powder (chocolate)
* 1 frozen banana for a frothy shake
* 5 ice cubes
* 1 glass of milk or soy milk (for more proteins)
Mix the above ingredients together in a good blender. Make sure that the blender has a high quality blade that is designed for cutting ice cubes. Using a poor quality blender may damage the blade. Blend for two to three minutes.
That's it! You should get a nice frothy protein milk shake. The banana is especially important in the above recipe. It's what gives the shake a frothy feel. Prepare the bananas in advance by peeling the skin off and keeping them in an air tight zip lock bag. That should keep the bananas fresh for about a month or so.
The above recipe should give you a big glass of protein shake.
Of course, there are always other homemade protein shake recipes you can try out.
However, making a protein shake may be too cumbersome at times, especially if you are in a hurry. In this case, you can make a quick drink by adding the protein powder to cold water. Don't skip the protein drink just because you are in a rush.
In order to achieve your fitness goals, you need to be very disciplined when it comes to your diet. If you plan to take 2 protein shakes a day, then consume 2 shakes a day. Otherwise, you miss your daily protein target.
It's important to keep your daily protein intake in mind when making protein shakes. You can add other ingredients to your shakes if you like (e.g. fruits or vegetables) for additional vitamins and nutrients.
Always count your protein when adding ingredients so that you don't exceed your daily limit.
At the back of your head, you should have a pretty good idea of the amount of protein that each ingredient has.
For instance,
* Egg - 5g
* 1 teaspoon of yogurt - 4g
* 1 glass of soy milk - 5g
* ...etc
Besides protein shakes, you can also add GNC protein powder into your food. Being instantized makes it easy for you to add the powder to your daily meals. You can add it to your sports drink, your breakfast, etc. Some parents like to add protein powder to their children's pan cakes. This is a great way to give kids a protein boost. They may even enjoy the taste!
