Everyone can make protein at home. All that is needed for this is a few main ingredients of the drink itself and a little desire. Making it at home, each person receives several advantages at once: 100% confidence in the quality of the product, the relative cheapness of the product and a huge selection of flavors. Protein at home will be useful not only for athletes whose body constantly requires increased protein intake, but also for ordinary people, because a cocktail can contain many vitamins. In addition to this advantage, a high cooking speed can be distinguished. Bodybuilders tend to use high quality protein from reputable manufacturers, but beginners can get by with homemade protein.

You can use a cocktail at any time: in the morning, between meals, before bedtime, before and after training (for athletes). Protein at home will be a great alternative to a quick breakfast, because after sleepthe body will require the nutrients you expended at night. It is also ideal to take a drink before bed, especially casein, which has a long absorption time. This is necessary so that your body does not starve too much during sleep. And finally, the last thing: this is a real find for losing weight, because 300-400 grams do not have such a huge amount of calories, but the feeling of fullness comes quickly. So, let's move on to the cocktails themselves. Cooking them is by knocking down all the products in a blender.

1. Cocktail number 1 - A. Schwarzenegger's recipe:

• one chicken egg;

  

• 2 cups skimmed milk;
• half a cup of ice cream;
• banana or other fruit to taste.

2. Cocktail 2:

• any fresh fruit;
• 300-350 grams of juice/milk;
• 2-3 table. spoons of cottage cheese;
• 1-2 eggs;
• a few ice cubes.

3. Cocktail 3 - Steve Reeves recipe:

• 2-3 tbsp milk powder;
• 400ml freshly squeezed orange juice;
• 2-4 eggs;
• 1 banana;
• 1 tbsp each honey and gelatin.

4. Cocktail 4:

• 250 ml milk;
• 1 banana;
• some yogurt;
• oatmeal (2-4 tablespoons);
• 50-100 grams of ice cream.

5. Cocktail 5:

• 200-300ml milk;
• 50-100 grams of blueberries;
• 1/2 cup ice cream;
• 2 tsp cocoa powder.

6. Cocktail 6:

• orange juice - 200 ml;
• low-fat cottage cheese - 50g;
• half banana;
• chocolate or cocoa - 25 grams;
• jam – 1 tsp

Here are the cocktails made by hand and at home. Of course, it will be too much for one time, so it’s better to stretch it for 2, or even 3 doses. In addition to the high protein content, such drinks also have a lot of carbohydrates, which are brought by fruits and other sweets. Therefore, in order not to gain weight, you need to be careful with them. It should also be mentioned that most of these cocktails (made at home with natural products) are based on milk and cottage cheese, that is, sources of casein. For an athlete, such a drink before and after training will not help, because, as mentioned above, it has a low absorption rate. Athletes need to consume whey protein during this time.

Here comes the problem - whey protein at home is impossible to prepare. Of course, with WPC (whey protein concentrate), you can easily cope with the task. However, you will not find it in a regular grocery store or supermarket, you will have to order it. The price of KSB in Russia ranges from 600 to 800 rubles per kilogram. If you want to buy whey protein from a name manufacturer, then get ready to shell out 900 or more rubles per kilogram.

Of course, for a simple person, protein at home is a godsend, but it is unlikely to help an athlete, except perhaps for use before bedtime. The calorie content of most of the above cocktails can exceed 700 kcal per half liter, so you should not lean heavily on them. However, this is better than drinking the same 0.5 liters of yogurt, right? Protein at home can be useful even for children due to the high content of vitamins. Taste + benefits - what could be better?
