How to Drink Whey

Whey protein helps build muscle mass and soothe sore muscles after a long workout. The only drawback to the supplement is the taste. Many people drink it to get it over with as quickly as possible, but you don't have to worry about the taste if you put it into a smoothie with the right ingredients. In some cases, you won't be able to taste the protein powder at all. Use healthy ingredients in your smoothie to get the most benefit from it.

Instructions

• 1

  Peel a banana and chop it into small chunks. Cut the tops off 1 cup of strawberries and discard; cut the strawberries in half lengthwise.

• 2

  Fill a blender with 1/2 cup skim milk and a 1/2 cup yogurt (the flavor is up to you). Add the fruit and pour in the recommended amount of whey protein powder.

• 3

  Place the lid firmly on the blender. Hold down on the lid and mix until the ingredients combine and have a slushy texture.

• 4

  Pour the smoothie into a cup. Top it with two pinches of crushed walnuts. Drink slowly to avoid the "brain freeze" effect.
