READY IN 15 MINUTES
I have always made conscious decisions day-to-day to get good amounts of protein into mine and Shays meals, especially after a long night. Whey Protein powder has been the way forward recently. It’s a fantastic way of implementing protein into meals
It’s amazingly intermixable with so many things. Protein is said to increased levels of a hormone related to satiety (full satisfied). The protein found in foods is used by every part of the body to develop, grow and function properly!
