Many people drink protein shakes regularly to lose weight, build muscle or both. Others, however, question the belief that protein shakes are better than normal, high-protein foods. So what is the truth?

What is in a protein shake?

Protein shakes are dietary supplements designed to help people consume more protein than they otherwise would. Protein shakes can be ready-made drinks. Or people can mix their own shakes using protein powder and other ingredients.

Protein powder can be made from plants or animals. Plant-based protein shakes can include soy, pea or rice protein.

Animal-based protein powders are usually made from cow's milk. Those who want to stay away from milk can also get protein powder made from egg whites.

Advantages of protein shakes

Studies indicate that consuming protein shakes is helpful if you want to build muscle. They can also help improve your performance while exercising and help you recover from exercise. And if you're losing weight, protein shakes can help to make sure that you don't lose muscle.
