When you workout, you burn calories and body loses nutrients that need to be replaced in order for you to recover from the exercise and repair your body. There are many specifics about nutrition that can affect recovery, but the major components of nutrition are (macronutrients) Protein, Carbohydrates and Fats, yes I said fats!
Drinking a shake before, during or after your workout allows you to replenish the macronutrients that your body is looking for at those times. Replenishing your body with proper nutrition will allow your body to repair and transform.
The human body absorbs and utilizes the nutrition from a liquid (shake) much faster than from a solid food (it is digested faster) because it doesn't have to be broken down in your stomach. Therefore, a shake is an ideal vehicle for replacing those macronutrients. So experiment with some flavors and find what shake works best for your tastebuds!
Nutrition shakes can also help a person lose weight by acting as a meal replacement. Instead of eating a meal high in calories, you can drink a calorie controlled shake filled with plenty of vitamins and minerals.
Start your day off right with a nutritional shake that will replenish your body. See the ingredients below for a quick and simple way to power up for whatever’s in store for the day. These shakes are perfect on-the-go.
