5. Smoothies: The never-ending controversy
As you may know, smoothies have been subject to lots of controversy in some circles, lately. Now, after all has been said and done, I can tell you this: even if they’re not the panacea when it comes to muscle building, I can almost be sure they’re not the demon’s deed, either. Just try to choose homemade whenever possible, and go easy on the fruits, or you’ll be heading towards the next sugar spike in no time. Tip: including whey protein in your drink can give your daily protein intake a big boost while keeping meals highly enjoyable. Protein in these drinks can be as high as 15-18 grams per cup, depending on the exact recipe utilized.
