Coffee Vanilla Protein Shake Recipe
Coffee and Vanilla protein shake
Hey everyone! Welcome to another protein shake recipe from Whey Protein Shakes. Today we have the Vanilla Coffee protein shake. This is a great protein shake pre-workout due to the caffeine and is sure to give you that boost you need to perform at your best.
This drink contains a healthy amount of protein to help you to pack on that muscle. The whey protein powder has a number of health benefits other than just for increasing lean muscle mass. Whey protein is known to help with weight loss as it actually suppresses your appetite so it can help you to trim up, whilst maintaining muscle mass.
There is also some evidence to show that whey protein can help to improve immune function. This is due to the fact that whey protein increases levels of glutathione within the body, which is a powerful anti-oxidant.
The addition of the coffee can help to stimulate the nervous system and can help to rid the body of the effects of fatigue. In a sport where alertness and reactions are highly important, caffeine can give an athlete the edge.
