Update to Protein Powder Drink Recipe From Yesterday
ByFor the protein powder for you to use for either your tea, or coffee, try and use a pure whey protein isolate and/or whey concentrate type product (read the label please). This is the one I use: http://tinyurl.com/protein5 .
The reason you want a protein powder with isolate or concentrate (or both) is for ease of mixing. If the protein powder you choose has the word “casein” in it (as in whey casein, micellar casein, etc) and you add it to a hot drink like tea or coffee, it will clump up and not mix properly. Trust me on this, it will not be pleasant (unless your idea of curds and whey, protein and coffee style, is your “cup of tea” – pardon the pun).

WHEN IT COMES TO ISOLATES, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST… JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROTEIN CONTENT AND FORMULA OF SOME OF THESE PRODUCTS. THE BEST ONES ARE A COMBINATION OF WHEY AND CASEIN PROTEINS. A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO SIMPLY WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE IS THE PROTEINS FOUND IN MUSCLE MILK (www.www.tinyurl.com/protein1); THEIR PROTEIN IS DIGESTED SLOWLY WHICH MEANS THAT A CONTINUAL STREAM OF AMINO ACIDS IS BEING POURED INTO YOUR SYSTEM. THIS MAKES IT FAR EASIER FOR YOUR BODY TO UTILIZE THEIR PROTEIN AND NOT WASTE IT, LIKE MANY PURE ISOLATES CAN. THIS IS ALSO VERY EASY ON THE STOMACH ALLOWING MANY WHO HAVE SENSITIVE STOMACHS THE ABILITY TO USE IT. I WOULD LOOK INTO IT.
