How to Mix Protein With Milk

Protein is an important component of human nutrition. Without protein, the body cannot build and maintain lean body muscle. The body also relies on protein to trigger immune and metabolism processes. Getting enough protein in your diet is vital for your health. Amino acids, commonly referred to as the "building blocks of proteins," are present in both animal and vegetable sources. Recently, many companies have begun marketing protein powders that can be mixed into shakes. Properly mixing protein powder into milk can add even more protein, vitamins and minerals.
