Powder
Protein is therefore basically the most important of the three macronutrients protein, carbohydrates and fats and should be consumed in sufficient quantities in the normal diet or in the form of food supplements. Natural sources of protein are meat, fish and dairy products.
Protein shakes are an adequate supplement to protein from food. These are usually protein powders that can be mixed with a liquid such as water, milk or fruit juice to make a protein-rich drink. Protein powders for protein shakes usually consist of plant or milk protein (or whey protein) - for example soy protein, rice protein or whey protein.

The most common protein variant on the food supplement market is whey protein, which is a whey protein.
This is available in three different variants as whey concentrate, whey isolate and whey hydrolyzate. In addition to the protein powders mentioned, there are also protein supplements with a special structure such as casein protein, which is obtained from milk protein and is digested by the human body over a very long period of time and is therefore available to the body for longer.
Due to their composition, protein powders contain a variety of essential amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine, which can enable rapid muscle recovery after exercise. Protein shakes are particularly suitable for athletes with high physical exertion, but also as a meal replacement for in-between meals.
Use protein shakes as a dietary supplement for athletes, to lose weight or as a meal replacement
As whey protein has an excellent amino acid profile, it is particularly popular with athletes as a suitable source of protein after a training session. Above all, it is quickly available and is quickly used by the body after training to regenerate muscle cells damaged by training.
In the form of whey concentrate, it offers a quick, inexpensive and sufficient source of protein for amateur athletes and for losing weight, which can be consumed either with water, fruit juice or milk (particularly filling!). Other forms such as whey isolate and whey hydrolyzate are particularly suitable for competitive sports.
The protein content of isolate is generally higher than that of pure concentrate - the values here vary between 90 and 96 percent pure protein content, compared to 80 to 85 percent for concentrate.
Whey hydrolyzate, on the other hand, is particularly easy to digest as the peptide chains it contains have already been broken down. As protein shakes have a high degree of satiety and are low in calories, they are also ideal for losing weight.
For example, protein shakes in combination with low-fat milk can serve as a healthy and filling meal replacement that supplies the body with protein, which it generally does not convert into fat deposits. Excess protein is either converted by the body into heat (thermogenesis), used for muscle regeneration and immune processes or simply excreted again.
