The Benefits of Whey Protein Drinks

Bodybuilders and athletes find whey proteins are more compatible for their digestive systems as whey protein is lactose free, as well as being lower in calories, sugar and carbohydrates. Whey protein can be found in a variety of other protein shake and protein drink blends. For instance, whey protein is also included in Pure Gro's blend of 5 different proteins including egg protein, milk protein, soy protein and calcium caseinate protein. You can also use whey protein in many of your favorite cooking and baking dishes to ensure that your body is getting sufficient daily intake.

Whey protein drinks are a delicious and nutritious way of increasing your daily intake of protein, making sure you get all of the essential amino acids into your body daily and helping maintain your immune system at peak working order.

You can make your own whey protein drinks using whey protein powder and any number of combinations. Purists mix it with bottled water, putting nothing unknown into their bodies for a variety of personal reasons. Others mix it with any of a number of juices, orange or grape to arrive at a flavor they like. Still others use it in a fruit smoothie type of drink, mixing the pure powder with bananas, peaches, blueberries and other fruits plus milk or water, producing a thick, sweet mixture that fills the stomach, removes that hungry feeling, satisfies the bodies need for amino acids and tastes good.

There are many diets that recommend using whey protein powder as one of several herbal, mineral ingredients including enzymes to digest the powder even faster than the body can digest it on its own.
