To Shake or NOT to Shake
Nov 22, 2022Protein shakes.
Ugh.
The diet industry’s little darling.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard the slogan “Simply replace two of your three meals with this delicious chocolate protein shake, and you will lose weight effortlessly,” I could probably retire tomorrow.
I fell into that trap decades ago, and I found myself choking down boxes of chemical-laden gross-tasting protein shakes in order to skip meals and cut out more calories.
It was a fast track to a SLOW metabolism and ALL the sugar cravings, not to mention a nutritional disaster.
These days I know better.
At Disruptive Nutrition, when we have a protein shake, it’s not to cut meals OUT, it’s to add them IN.
And if you get yourself a high quality protein powder, shakes can actually be nutritious too!
Eating every three hours can be challenging with a busy schedule, and being able to throw together a balanced, nutritious meal that you can drink in the car, in a business meeting, or while chasing your kids is pretty darn CONVENIENT.
It’s a simple way to prioritize taking care of yourself – even in the chaos of daily life.
That’s why I’m excited to announce a special opportunity popping up just in time for Black Friday: Shake Up the Holidays!
We will be running a two week shake program this December featuring 28 festive and delicious shake recipes delivered through email and a private Facebook group. In that Facebook group you will also have access to daily posts from our coaches, special training about our nutritional approach, and even a free webinar with yours truly!
This offer will only be available to a very limited number of participants – so watch your email for the registration link to drop!
And in the meantime, tune in to this week’s podcast where I spill the truth about protein shakes and help you answer the question: to shake or not to shake?
