Proteins are the basic building blocks of any living being. Proteins are made up of essential and non essential amino acids, both of which are equally important in building up the muscles and cells in a body.
There are many people who go for regular work outs. It becomes very essential in these kinds of people to have a proper amount of protein in their diet. Regular gym goers and people who regularly work out generally tend to go for protein supplements like energy bars or protein shakes.
The main advantages for going for a protein shake is to recover faster from the tiredness of work out, to maintain lean muscle due to consumption of proteins like whey protein which are low in fat and carbohydrates but rich source of proteins. It also helps in acting as a meal replacement therapy, in the sense that if you regularly take protein shakes in your meal you can easily skip that one time meal since the protein shake itself provides you with enough and more calories required for that particular time of the day.
There are different ways to make a protein shake, but the below mentioned will be the best and easiest way to make a shake for your balanced meal. The blender must be off when the milk is poured into the jar. The whey protein powder must be added to the milk and the milk and protein must be blended in the jar for about 15-20 seconds.
Once the milk and the protein powder are blended, the blender must be turned off and any fruit of your choice must be added. The fruits added may be bananas, raspberries, strawberries etc that would give a good and refreshing flavor to the shake.
The ingredients must then be blended nicely in the jar in medium speed or a greater speed so that all of them get mixed thoroughly and the fruits are completely bended with the milk. A tablespoon of virgin coconut oil can be used to give a coconut flavor to the shake. Coconut oil increases the metabolic rate and tends to help in achieving weight loss at a faster rate. It also helps in reducing certain risks associated with cancer and other cardiovascular risks.
Flaxseed oil can also be used in the shake due to different roles of flaxseed in daily diet. Flax seeds are rich in omega three fatty acids and hence play major role in reducing cholesterol, blood pressure and arthritis.
The shake is now ready to drink with a wonderful flavor of your choice. The shake must be had after 15-20 of your workout since it is in this time that the body requires protein to a maximum extent.
The protein shakes must usually be made with simple but strong flavors to mask the taste of the protein as such. The flavors can include fruity flavors like bananas, raspberries, strawberries etc or flavors like chocolate, vanilla, honey nut and crunch or roasted almonds.
The protein shakes prepared can be for various purposes. It can be used by some to gain weight or by some to lose weight. People who go for protein shakes for gaining weight tend to use 2% or whole milk with extra protein powder in the recipe mentioned since that would help in gaining weight.
People who are on a diet to lose weight tend to use skim milk in the recipe since that helps in building lean muscle.
People who are allergic to dairy products can use soy milk. Soy milk is also an alternative for people who tend to go on a low carbohydrate and cholesterol free protein shakes.
Care must be taken that the fruits used and the milk used must be fresh ones, since if not they might harm your body. Natural fruits or nuts whatever used must also be rich in protein since that would increase the energy you get from your shake. It is always better to go for natural flavors rather than using artificial or synthetic flavors since they may cause harm to the body at a later stage in life because of the synthetic chemicals used for flavoring.
Thus by using all the natural ingredients available in your fridge all the time, a great protein shake that would boost your body can be made.
Wany to buy a good, reasonably priced food processor...?
...that is not obnoxiously loud. I have the Cuisinart blender/processor combo which is a little small for what I need, not to mention horribly loud. Anyone have a recommendation?
Kitchen Aid KFP710 was Consumer Reports "Best Buy" at $80. It looks like just about any Kitchen Aid or Cuisinart should be good and scored as being very quiet.

Internet Marketing Strategies For Explosive Network Marketing Online- Part 4: Social Networking, Web Marketing 2.0
This is Dianne again, and I'm an Online Marketing Consultant specializing in helping Network Marketers succeed in exploding their network marketing business online.
This is the third part of a short 5 article mini-series that explains the top 5 internet marketing strategies that will allow you and any other serious network marketer to climb to the top of your business and join the ranks of the top earners across the industry.
In a recap of the last three articles, I discussed Residual Income & Solving Cash Flow Problems, the importance of Lead Generation & Listbuilding, and Affiliate Marketing. This fourth article is about Social Networking, Web Marketing 2.0 & Viral Marketing
I'll start with viral marketing. What is viral marketing? It is marketing that spreads like a virus. Before the Internet, viral marketing was Word of Mouth Advertising. Today viral marketing uses the internet, and it's a whole new world.
Some examples of good viral marketing are:
The Blendtec's "Will it Blend?" video series. If you haven't seen them yet, check them out on Youtube. They show scientists testing if various household items to find out if it'll blend in their super-powerful blender. Blendtec has successfully leveraged the popularity of Youtube and other video sharing sites.
Or there's "One Red Paperclip" where the author of a blog started with a single red paperclip and traded his way up to a house, documenting his steps along the way.
Viral marketing works hand in hand with online social networking media, also called web marketing 2.0. These social networking sites are online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. This includes social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter and YouTube.
As a network marketer, you understand the importance of networking and making connections. That is what our business is built on. And online we use these social networking sites to do this.
Social Networking online is about meeting and networking with other professionals and entrepreneurs, and sharing info, tips, strategies and opportunities. By using these websites and introducing yourself to the individuals in these communities you are meeting exactly the type of people that are interested in what we do and the type of people you want to work with.
This is your target market.
Online social networking is an important way to meet people and get leads and visitors to your website.
This can be one of the most effective FREE marketing strategies to attract high quality people to your team, if you know what you are doing! Effective social networking involves Attraction Marketing. If you want to use this strategy I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you learn more about ATTRACTION MARKETING.

Hi, I am trying to make a strawberry white chocolate smoothie. I usually get them in college and they use white chocolate powder, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I am guessing that if i buy mini white chocolate candy that the blender would not them blend them right. But I am thinking if I melt it in the microwave and then put it in the blender, it would work. Can anyone help me find where I can buy white chocolate powder, don't give websites, I need a store that I can go to, preferably something like Wal Mart.
It's not actual white chocolate. It would be something like this:

They have a white chocolate flavor. Or this:

I don't know where you are so I don't know where you can find them locally...but try the local coffee houses. Here in San Diego there's Cafe Moto, which isn't a coffee shop despite the name, but rather a source for coffee houses to get beans, syrups, flavorings, and the above mentioned products. The benefit to that is that you can buy a larger container for usually less than the supermarket would cost.
If you melt chips or candy and add them to cold beverage in the blender, it will just seize up and end up in chunks, and gritty.
