So, to argue and prove that protein is the same protein as meat, milk, cottage cheese, eggs, etc., we will not be now. Our current task is to describe the recipes for preparing cocktails from powdered protein, as well as recipes from natural protein (protein), without the use of sports supplements.
Who needs it?
Those who regularly use sports nutrition, perhaps, the question arose, why "do" the protein at home, if you can buy powder in a store or the Internet, dilute with water and enjoy muscle growth. If such a question has arisen and you, then, most likely, do not belong to gourmets, and in fact there are athletes who demand from sports not only the effect, but also the taste.
But, about everything in turn.
Protein production at home is necessary for those who, after returning late in the evening from training, realized that the powder was over, and therefore, it is necessary to "scold" something from the products available in the refrigerator.
In addition, those who still believe that some "chemistry" hidden in the packages with the inscription "Protein" are hidden in principle will want to prepare the protein at home. Such athletes also have, and they can not be left without a squirrel.
When is it necessary?
Despite the fact that, as mentioned above, you can simply mix the powder with water and drink, it will be useful to know absolutely everything for preparing a protein cocktail at home. There is no person in the world who would not like to "sweeten" life from time to time.
- It is very effective to have a cocktail in the morning as a breakfast. During sleep, we lost all glycogen, and if there is no significant subcutaneous fat, the body will begin to "eat" muscles.
- If you work, and immediately after work, hurry to workout, a full meal / dinner will not have time to digest, and training with a stuffed stomach is not at all convenient.
- Before going to bed, you need to provide the body with protein, which in sleep will be wasted on growth, because sleep is time for rehabilitation and growth. But it's unlikely to be a benefit from the steak eaten before going to bed. Therefore, a cocktail, caloric content of 250-300kcal is quite an acceptable substitute.
Recipes
Next, we give you examples of recipes from the finished whey protein, as well as from the protein found in conventional foods.

A small nuance
Powder protein is a protein processed to facilitate the digestion of the stomach. It is impossible in principle to make such a protein at home. Cocktails of milk, cottage cheese, eggs and other things - it's very tasty, but it takes a few hours to process the stomach, just as much as it takes to digest milk, cottage cheese, etc.
The main function of powdered protein is a fast source of protein. And it is necessary to use this property only after strength training. At other times, try to eat the usual food from your own refrigerator.
