smoothie instead of protein shake

[Vin Damn]

Hi everyone, is it ok if you replace your protein shake with a smothie loaded of fruits after work out? for some
reason protein powder makes gas a lot.

They're not even close to the same thing. A ton of fruit (so carbs, sugars and some good stuff) vs protein. Switch, if you use it, a concentrate for an isolate.

smoothies may upset your stomach just as much.

try just eating fruit instead .. have a nice post workout balanced meal

The problem with a fruit smoothie is that their is no protein in it. You want protein after a workout to replenish deleted amino acid levels.

Try a vegan protein powder. You could add it into your fruit smoothie

I just made the switch to a beef protein. Taste great digested super easy. No bloat no gas.

That said there is a good amount of people who consider having fast carbs from fruit sugar post workout to be equally important as the protein intake.

There is a school of thought which promotes the idea of protein being a daily requirement that needs to be consistent and in adequate measure.

While carbs are ingested at very specific times around your workout window to trigger insulin and anabolic response.

Hardly saying that this is the correct way. But if your craving fruit eat damn some fruit. Explore the research and see how you feel, see if you progress/get fat/ feel stronger/ get lethargic or whatever.

Use to box when I lived in philly, couch made us eat tuna, drink 4 raw eggs in the morning. Chicken breast in the afternoon, and 4 oranges postwork. Food for thought

You can add fruit to your protein shake and blend it up. Or just eat your fruit and eat a meal high in protein!

Just go home and make a balanced meal.
