Protein powder for your fitness

For your fitness, it’s important to provide your body with all the nutrients and amino acids it needs. Protein is especially crucial for building muscle. Athletes often don’t get enough protein from their diet: with a protein shake, you can consume up to 30 g of protein at once, helping your body build muscle. There is now a wide variety of protein powders available. When purchasing, make sure the protein powder contains as few additives as possible and that the protein is sourced from high-quality protein sources. Looking for a top-quality vegan protein powder? You’ll find that in our selection, too!

Frequently Asked Questions About Whey Protein and Vegan Protein Sources

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends that people between the ages of 19 and 65 consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. If you weigh 100 kg, your daily protein requirement is 80 grams. Protein shakes allow you to consume up to 30 grams of protein in addition to your regular diet. 

Whey protein is particularly rich in L-leucine. This is an amino acid that belongs to the BCAA group. These are an ideal source of protein for athletes. Other protein powders rely on casein. Casein has a lower biological value and contains fewer BCAAs. That is why whey protein is particularly well-suited for supporting muscle growth. 

The best way to prepare your protein powder is with milk. You can use dairy milk, but plant-based alternatives are also a good option. If you want to cut calories, you can also make your protein shake with water. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact measurements. 

It’s best to drink your protein shake after your workout. Ideally, you should drink it 15–45 minutes after finishing your workout. This helps the protein support your body and muscles during recovery. The amino acids in the shake also stimulate muscle growth. 

Why are proteins important for building muscle?

Protein is essential for your body. It serves as a source of energy and is responsible for building muscle and cells. That’s why it’s especially important for you as an athlete. When you work out, your body needs enough protein to build muscle. If you don’t get enough protein, however, your muscles will break down. However, many people are unable to meet their protein needs through diet alone. Sources of protein include dairy products, meat, and fish. On a vegan diet, you can get protein from legumes, for example. If you want to build muscle, your protein intake from food alone may not be sufficient for optimal results. That’s why we offer a variety of vegan protein powders. They are completely plant-based and provide your body with sufficient protein. These include rice protein and pea protein. 

The Best Protein Powders for Your Workout

If you’re looking for a protein powder, you’ll quickly come across the world-renowned and popular whey protein. Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein is actually the best-selling protein powder in the world. You can buy it from us in a wide variety of sizes and flavors. These include Cookies & Cream, Caramel, Vanilla Ice Cream, and many more. The protein content is 24 g per serving. The powder is also particularly low in sugar and fat. This means you can enjoy the protein shake even while on a diet. If you follow a vegan diet, we recommend the MyProtein MyVegan Protein Blend. It provides 22 g of protein per serving and contains only 110 calories. The protein for the shakes is sourced from peas and beans. MyVegan also prioritizes sustainable packaging.
