Protein shakes are popular dietary supplements made by blending protein powder with water, milk, or other liquids, often combined with fruits, seeds, or nut butters. Common sources of protein include whey, casein, soy, and plant-based options like pea or hemp, catering to various dietary preferences. Originating from the fitness and health community, protein shakes have transcended boundaries to become a staple in modern nutrition worldwide, especially in Western cuisines. They serve as a convenient and efficient way to increase protein intake, supporting muscle repair, growth, and overall recovery after workouts. While they are low in fat and carbohydrates, some pre-made versions may contain added sugars or artificial ingredients that could diminish their health benefits. Protein shakes are best consumed as part of a balanced diet rather than a meal replacement, ensuring nutrients essential for long-term health are not overlooked.
