It’s official − summertime is here. If you’re searching for some snack inspiration, and an easy way to get more protein, fibre and vitamin and minerals into your diet, then look no further. Protein shake mixes are simple, versatile, convenient, and perfect for the hot summer months. Here are four reasons we’re adding protein shake mixes to the menu this season.
Convenience meets taste
First and foremost, protein shakes are delicious and come in a variety of flavours. You can start your day with a shake that’s filled to the brim with nutritional value, or blend it up with some berries to create a mermaid bowl. Who wouldn’t want a healthy and delicious protein shake filled with protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals? Having a shake mix in your pantry is convenient and easy to incorporate into other foods, so it can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Think protein pancakes for breakfast, a microwave chocolate mug cake for a snack. With so many recipes to choose from you’ll never struggle to find inspiration.
They’re packed with nutrients
Look for protein shake mixes that are high in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. With a high-quality protein shake mix, you know you’re supporting your nutritional goals.
It is also so easy to add additional fruit and veg to your protein shake mix which can encourage you to reach those five-a-day goals.
They cater to a range of dietary requirements and preferences
Protein shake mixes are super easy to customise. Whether it’s substituting regular milk for a plant-based alternative, picking gluten-free ingredients, the possibilities and combinations are endless. If you’re sticking to a specific eating plan or struggle with various food allergies, smoothies and shakes are an easy way to accommodate dietary requirements and particular tastes. Not in the mood for a super creamy shake? No problem, just add water and you’re ready to go! Experimenting with a variety of ingredients can be a lot of fun, so don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try some new blends, using fruits, vegetables and spices.
They’re great on-the-go
When you live life on the go, it’s easy to forget to fuel your body. You’ll also likely notice a dip in your energy levels throughout the day, making it difficult to stay focused. Protein shake mixes offer a tasty and convenient alternative for eating or snacking on the go. They’re quick and easy to make and are great for busy lifestyles – blend one up to sip on in the car when you’re rushing to and from appointments or keep some protein shake mix in the office when you’re having a crazy day.
You can also look for recipes that allow you to add protein shakes mixes to make-ahead snacks. Chocolate almond protein bites or sun-dried tomato and roasted pepper muffins are an easy-to-prepare addition to your bag or lunchbox. These snacks are delicious, packed with protein and fibre, and they’ll calm your hunger pangs until your next full meal.
Protein shake mixes are a great way to squeeze maximum nutrition from a single serving. They offer convenience and taste in one delicious shake – or muffin, salad dressing, you name it! That's what makes them the perfect addition to your summer menu. Look out for protein shake mix sachets that are easy and convenient to slip in to any bag and perfect for sharing.
