Protein!!!

So today I wanted to post about the amazingness of protein. First, if you are trying to build muscle or overall strength building, than protein is essential. There are many ways to get protein into your daily diet. Chicken, hard boiled eggs, almonds, tuna, turkey, fish and more! For example, I love having a hard boiled eggs. The egg white is jam packed with protein. Salt and pepper the egg, and you have a delicious snack. You can also make a peanut butter and banana sandwich which is super yummy and also packed with protein. Just make sure you don't get too crazy with peanut butter because there is high salt in most brands of peanut butter.

I have found my favorite way to get protein...shakes! Protein shakes can be sooooo delicious. It can be tricky with protein shakes because some do not taste that great. Try out some brands and see what you like. I have found that protein powder tastes the best because you can do a lot of different things with it. I do the following: a scoop of chocolate protein powder, about 5 ice cubes and about a cup of chocolate soy milk. It literally tastes like a Wendy's chocolate frosty. How amazing is that? You can get protein by having a chocolate shake! 

I am working on strengthening my arms. So after I get back from the gym I have a post workout shake. You can do a pre workout shake as well, but after is just my preference. 

You can also have a shake if you get that chocolate craving in the middle of the day instead of diving into cookies or cake. You get the chocolate your mind is craving and it fills you up for a super long time.

Go try a shake!
