Protein Shakes for Muscle Recovery

By Ryan P. Bressler


Vegetarian protein shakes are a great way for anyone to add extra protein to their diet. This can be especially helpful to vegetarians lacking protein in their diet, athletes looking for quick recovery protein after a hard workout, and anyone who needs to up their intake of plant based nutrients.



After a strength training workout, an athlete has 1 hour to consume protein to prevent muscle soreness. After a cardio workout, the athlete only has 30 minutes! Some experts suggest that liquid protein is the best way to prevent muscle soreness. The easiest way to consume liquid protein is with a healthy and delicious protein shake!

It's easy to turn a plant based protein shake into a green smoothie with the addition of some tasty raw greens. Try adding spinach, kale, or avocado. You could also add freeze dried super foods such as wheatgrass, oat grass, and barley grass.

Plant based protein shakes are a perfect way to add super foods to your diet. My favorite super foods are coconut oil, raw honey, and raw cacao. You can also add super foods like spirulina, chlorella, and acai berry. Super foods are full of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and even antioxidants!

Avoid adding whey protein powders to a plant based protein shake, Whey is a highly processed animal product that does not generally contain live nutrients. Whey protein is also a NO GO for vegetarians. Try to avoid soy protein powders and milks as well. Some studies suggest that over consumption of soy can lead to negative side effects.

To make the best plant based protein shake or smoothie; simply follow the tips provided by this article. Choose the right protein source, such as plant based protein, and you'll be on your way to making healthy shakes and smoothies in no time!
