The benefits of protein drinks Athletes and gym-goers the world over rely on protein drinks to get them through their busy and demanding daily routines.

Instead of consuming calorie-laden beverages high in sugar, you can satisfy those cravings with a healthy pre-made milk protein drink.

Absolutely not! Our protein shakes need no preparation whatsoever. Just open one up, shake and enjoy! It’s an instant protein source with no cooking or reheating. Meal replacement Contrary to trending ideas, it‘s not healthy to skip meals. If you do, you won’t have the energy needed to meet the demands of your day. A healthier choice is to replace your usual fatty or carb-laden meals with a protein shake. You’ll get the protein your body needs for lean muscle gain while shedding excess pounds. Even though the Chiefs protein milk drinks are not a meal replacement as such, they are a great addition to a balanced, healthy diet the perfect choice for that little craving. Liquid energy It’s so tempting to reach for a snack when you hit that midday energy slump. But when you’ve been working out, you may have something different in mind. We get it! Sometimes you just need a refreshing and tasty drink. The problem with those “energy drinks” you see in the store is that many of them are nothing more than sugary drinks fortified with vitamins. You need protein for muscle development and pure energy during a gym session. If you’re serious about giving your body what it needs, you need Chief’s protein drinks! Alternative to other shakes If you’re thinking of just grabbing a milkshake, think again. That milkshake will be higher in protein than a fizzy drink, that’s for sure. But it may be high in other, unwanted things too. Like excess sugar and fats. Our protein shakes are a healthy alternative to those milkshakes. They contain extra concentrated milk protein, yet they have less fat and no added sugars! Why have a generic milkshake when you can nourish your body with a Chiefs protein shake?

A pre-made protein shake will usually be milk-based. This is the most common source of liquid protein that is readily available. Other ingredients may include flavours and sweeteners.

Our Chiefs’ ready-to-carry protein drinks contain no harmful additives or added sugars. They also contain concentrated milk protein, to give you all the protein power you need in one easy-to-drink portion. They contain neither gluten nor other unnecessary fillers like sugar. And some good news for lactose-sensitive people, our Chiefs’ pre-made protein drinks are also lactose-free.

Unless they contain dairy derivatives, soy-based pre-made protein drinks are vegan. However, many protein drinks are dairy milk-based, as milk is an excellent source of protein and more efficient than plant-based protein. What is the difference between pre-made protein drinks and making your own whey protein shake? When you make your protein drink, you have more control over what is going into it. But it takes time that not everyone has. That is why, in addition to our whey protein powders, we offer pre-made, healthy protein drinks, for the ultimate convenience. Most protein powders are also whey-based, but Chiefs uses only the highest quality milk proteins in its ready-to-use protein drinks. How many protein drinks can I drink a day? There is no hard and fast rule about how many protein drinks you can drink in a day. Many people drink two or three a day, as a meal replacement, snack, or for extra nourishment. As part of a healthy, balanced diet, this is perfectly fine. As a rule of thumb, an average adult needs about 0.8-1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Depending on the amount of exercise, the protein requirement can be much higher than this recommendation. In a perfect world, we’d all be making nutritious meals and drinks in the kitchen to package and transport to school, work and the gym. But we live in the real world, and sometimes, that’s just not possible. You don’t have to sacrifice your need for nutrition, though. Just get yourself some Chiefs protein shakes today. Your body will thank you!
