Step up Your Game Plan with Protein Shakes and Recipes for Muscle Gain!

Looking to Build Muscle? Start with Protein.

If you’re ready to take your training to the next level, protein is a must. Alongside carbs and fats, it’s one of the three essential macronutrients that fuel your body—and it’s especially important for building and repairing muscle.

To support increased protein needs, protein powders have become a go-to for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re lifting heavy, training for an event, or just staying active, the right protein supplement can help you reach your goals faster.

This drink is cozy, comforting, creamy, and a touch spicy. It has so many health benefits!

Turmeric contains curcumin, and it is the spice that gives curry its yellow colour. Curcumin is further activated with black pepper making it easier to absorb. Curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and the protein powder will keep your energy high and feeling satisfied. Curcumin is also fat-soluble, meaning it breaks down or dissolves in fat or oil, which is why it’s made with coconut milk!

Give it a go!
