Do You Need Protein Shakes?

No. You can get all the protein you need from whole foods.

But I would not be afraid of protein shakes either. There is nothing wrong with them.

A healthy processed food

Yes, a protein shake is processed. I like to call it a macro-based processed food, and it is a good one. The processing removes lactose, fat, and carbohydrate, so the protein is purer and more available to you.

That makes it an easy way to get a hit of almost pure protein in something sweet and dessert-like.

Why people like them

A lot of my clients use a shake as a dessert. It kills the sweet craving, it fits the plan, and it helps them stay on their diet. That is a real win.

Need one? No. Useful? Absolutely.
