Most of us have minimal time to prepare nutritious, quality meals that give us sustained energy throughout the day. So with this in mind, we can all rely on a couple of nutrient dense, meal replacement shakes, daily to provide us ;
1. a good portion of clean protein (15-20 grms)
2. essential vitamins & minerals lacking in fast foods
3. healthy plant based fats 3-8 grams)
4. sustained energy to get us thru or busy day
This only takes 5 minutes to prepare & you will LOVE experimenting with many varieties of fruits, nut butters, veggies & quality powders, which will always create a variety of new favorites!!
Besides the convenience, meal replacement shakes also,
- Help stabilize our fasting blood sugar levels & LDL cholesterol
- Create a feeling of satiety, which aids in weight loss & continued bodyweight maintenance
- Help improve lean muscle mass in conjunction w/workouts
- Are very cost effective vs. buying healthy meals/ snacks
- Are more easily digested than solid foods
A few guidelines you should follow when choosing the best meal replacement powder. Make sure the product you choose contains;
- 15-20gm. of proteins like whey, egg & plant based.
- Less than 10 grms of any kind of sugars, NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
- At least 3 grms of fiber
- No hydrogenated oils
- And at least contain 25% of daily vitamins/minerals.
Do some research & find 2-3 types, then buy the single packets, as a trial so you don’t commit your self to a big container & regret it. Once you have a couple of favs, make it be a ritual honoring your daily nutrition & energy level. This is a great step to improving other areas of your weekly meal selection & will give you more motivation to prepare healthier evening dinners.
