Going from protein shakes to protein smoothies can be a difficult change. You may be seeing less gains, and there are a few reasons this could be the case. The first misconception that I often see is that more protein is always better.
However, protein is packed with calories. A scoop of protein powder can have as much as 150 calories, even when bulking putting too much can be detrimental.
Fruits can be packed with sugar, calories and carbs. Don’t overdo it, a single banana can have as much as 120 calories.
Even if you’re not a fan of their flavor, smoothies are a great way to mask their taste while getting the nutrients they provide.
Adding raw sugar, flavored yogurt or fruit juice is an easy way to turn a healthy workout smoothie into a pile of sugary carbs that’ll leave you with love handles.
If you make similar shakes (using the same ingredients) count up the calories, carbs, fats, and protein once and write it down.
You’ll always have it available when you make smoothies, ensuring a refreshing boost isn’t as nutritionally dense as a full meal.
