There are many things to do right but one of the more important ones is getting enough protein. In this article you will learn all about protein quality and how to make your own protein shake at home.<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Protein quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Protein is made up of amino acids they are the real building blocks for the human body. There are 21 different amino acids and you need them in a correct ratio to make up the best protein. The best protein also needs to be easy to digest. Thankfully, both of these parameters can be measured in a lab so that we can reliably judge the quality of protein. There are two main categories of protein: animal based and plant based. Animal proteins are usually easy to digest and have a favourable amino acid profile. Plant based proteins are protected by cellulose which makes them harder to digest and usually don\u2019t contain the correct ratio of amino acids. This means that the human body will generally be able to utilize animal protein much better than plant protein.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The human body will generally be able to utilize animal protein much better than plant protein.

Have it ready at home for when you need quality protein that\u2019s easy to prepare and doesn\u2019t contain any unwanted additives. Here is a recipe that makes it taste great. You can swap out coconut sugar for any sweetener of your choice and cocoa powder for other flavours too. It\u2019s most effective about an hour after you finish a hard ride.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=qQE8SnA01ok params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/qQE8SnA01ok\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 35 g whey protein<br \/>\n\u2022 2 tbsp coconut sugar<br \/>\n\u2022 1 tbsp cocoa powder<br \/>\n\u2022 1 cup water<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1.
