Maximise your Gains: Protein Powder vs Protein Drinks

In the realm of fitness and nutrition, an adequate protein intake cannot be ignored. This raises the question what the superior method is to boost your protein.

Protein drinks and protein powder are both valid ways to increase the amount of protein in your diet. This protein can stem from animal (e.g whey, beef) or plant-based sources (e.g hemp or pea protein). Both options can help you achieve protein’s proven benefits in terms of muscle growth, bone health and weight management.

Protein Powders

Protein powders, as the name implies, are in powder form and need to be mixed with water, milk or other fluids before consumed. Their versatility makes them stand out from other options. The powder can be mixed with more than just milk or water. It can be used in smoothies, pancakes or baked goods to add some extra sources of protein to your day. Furthermore, modern protein powders offer various indulgent flavours. This makes protein powder a very customizable way to increase your protein intake.

Protein Drinks

Protein drinks are sold as a ready-to-drink beverage and can come as thick protein shakes or light protein water. While protein drinks are not as versatile as powders they make up for it in terms of convenience. Protein drinks don’t need any preparation so they can save time. They also come in a wide array of flavours and can be easily consumed on-the-go.

How to choose your Protein Supplement

Many factors such as flavour, pricing and dietary preferences should play a role when considering a protein supplement. It is advisable to read the label to check for unwanted added sugars, preservatives, sweeteners or thickeners.  If you are interested in a no-faff plant-based protein supplement look no further than Feisty protein sodas.
