What is a protein shake?
A protein shake is a drink made from blending the ingredients of protein powder, water or milk, and other ingredients. Protein shakes are often used as a meal replacement, as snacks, and are a popular post-workout recovery drink.

Why add more protein to your diet?
Adding more protein to your diet can be beneficial for a variety of reasons. Protein provides the body with amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle. The body uses amino acids to build muscles, and protein also helps to maintain a healthy metabolism, so it's a great way to help with weight loss and muscle gains.
Are protein shakes good for weight loss?

What equipment do I need to make a protein shake?
A blender is the most important piece of equipment you need to make a protein shake. It will help you mix all the ingredients together and make sure that they are blended well. I use a Breville Blend Active Blender. It has a small base which is perfect for a smaller kitchen. A blender can be any type of blender, but it should be powerful enough to crush ice and other hard ingredients.
Protein shakes can also be made in a shaker bottle if you don’t have a blender. You can substitute ice for more liquid or Greek yogurt. you can buy shaker cups from almost any supermarket or from Amazon.
