Protein Shakes

We know it can be tricky to know when to have your protein drink to make the most of its effects. Here’s what our in-house registered nutritionist, Holly Roper, says: “You can drink a protein shake at any time of day, it is really up to you and your preference! However, drinking a protein shake after a workout is a great way to get the best results from your session and help to support your recovery.”

Could drinking a protein shake cause constipation? Here’s what our in-house registered nutritionist, Holly Roper, says: “Protein shakes affect everyone differently, but usually, they only cause constipation if you have them in excessive quantities or you don’t drink enough water. If you feel that your protein shake is leaving you feeling uncomfortable and unable to go to the toilet, we recommend that you stop taking it. If the symptoms continue, it’s important to speak to your GP.”

Can you drink a protein shake every day? Here’s what our in-house registered nutritionist, Holly Roper, says: “How often you can drink protein shakes is really up to you! However, we recommend that you don’t drink more than one per day.”

Here’s what our in-house registered nutritionist, Holly Roper, says: “Pre-made protein shakes are much more convenient than using protein powders, especially when you are on the go. Choosing a pre-made protein drink means you don’t need to fuss around measuring out scoops of powder after your workout, you can just grab and go. In a range of delicious flavours, you’re not confined to having the same flavour every day, you can easily mix and match!”
