Gary Brecka says ready-made protein shakes are loaded with sugar, preservatives, and thickening agents you don't need. Get 29g of whey protein without breaking a fast using powder instead, and mix flavored versions like lemon-lime or mixed berry over ice for a cleaner drink.
So before you buy another protein shake, think about this. Protein shake, which are great— I'm a big fan of protein shakes— but protein shakes have calories, and protein shakes very often have sugar. They have all kinds of other additives, thickening agents, preservatives, what have you. I'm not saying all protein shakes, but a lot of them do, especially the ready-made ones. Think about getting 29 grams of whey protein without breaking a fast. 99% absorbable amino acids. So women, listen up. It's very hard very often for women to get the equivalent of protein that they need— 1 gram of protein for every gram of body weight without going over their macros. Women don't like to eat half a dozen eggs or half a ribeye, so you can get 29 grams, the equivalent of 29 grams of whey protein, without breaking a fast. You can take it in tablet form, you can take it in a powder form. I like the lemon lime. My wife loves the mixed berry. She actually mixes the mixed berry and the lemon lime. It tastes amazing. Put ice in it, it's a refreshing drink, and it doesn't break a fast.
