How can you make the best protein shakes that you will enjoy and grow muscle mass? It takes more than an effective workout regimen to build a proper physique; it takes time, dedication, good planning, a great diet, and, more often than not, workout supplements. From protein bars to the massive array of different kinds of protein powder, most bodybuilders and athletes espouse the proper use of supplements to help give your body the energy and resources it needs.

Sadly, the flavor of protein powder is less pleasant, and many contain flavoring additives that, even in the best of supplements, are usually unsavory or sickeningly artificial. Finally, however, a handy, tried, and trustworthy solution to the protein shake’s terrible taste of protein whey! There are thousands of protein shake recipes online, so picking the right shake for flavor, muscle growth, and nutrition can be a daunting challenge. So, look at some of our favorite protein shake recipes to help you grow muscle mass.

How to Make Delicious Protein Shakes that Grow Muscle

Before we get onto the recipes, we should mention there is no shortage of choices for protein powder, and you could use any of them for most of these shakes; generally, we recommend Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder. However, if you would like to check out some of our other favorite powders, read about them with this article!

Final Thoughts on How to Make Delicious Protein Shakes to Grow Muscle

Protein shakes can be a great addition to any workout routine, either as a pre-workout snack or a recovery day supplement to help muscle repair. For example, suppose your training is incredibly intense, and you must prioritize muscle recovery over gains. Then, you can substitute casein protein in any of these shakes for a more recovery-focused recipe.

Overall, we highly recommend using protein shakes to accompany any workout routine. If you want to look at our other health and fitness articles, you can check them out here. Or, to view our entire catalog of bodybuilding articles, you can view our full blog here.
