Men’ s Health lists some smart ways to give your protein drink a nutritional boost. Check out their suggestions here. I have added a few suggestions of my own below.
Pineapple and Crushed Ice
Stir in with plain or vanilla protein powder and chill for a refreshing twist. Pineapple is a natural source of enzymes and vitamin C.
Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries
Berries are high in antioxidants. Since your body accrues oxidative stress during exercise, berries make a great addition to any post-workout protein drink.
Aminogen
… of course! Like the enzymes in pineapple, the enzymes in Aminogen are natural and plant-based. The benefit is that Aminogen is formulated and proven to break down the whey protein in your drink. And while some brands of protein powder contain generic enzymes, Aminogen is the only designer enzyme system patented and clinically shown to significantly increase absorption of amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) from dietary protein.
