Pour in Some Protein Powder
{!firstname_fix} 
 
Along with fat and carbohydrates, protein is considered a "macronutrient" which means 
your body needs a lot of it. Most vitamins and minerals are considered "micronutrients" 
since our body needs only trace amounts of them each day in comparison to fat, protein 
and carbohydrates. 

Why Protein Powder?

Unlike fat and carbohydrates, however, your body cannot store protein, so it needs a 
fresh supply every day. Since meat and dairy are two of the biggest sources of protein 
in our diet, vegans and vegetarians can have a difficult time getting enough protein in 
their diet, as can people who are sensitive to meat or dairy. 

However, for a diet to be healthy, protein must be carefully balanced with fat and 
carbohydrates. Pouring a few scoops of protein powder into your juice or smoothie is a 
great way to get an extra boost of protein that is still balanced with necessary fat and 
carbohydrates. 

Tips for Choosing Your Protein Powder

You will notice that there are many different types of protein powder, including different 
brands, macros, and flavors. Pay attention to the fat, calories, protein, sugar, and 
carbohydrates in the protein powder. There are vegan and dairy-free options, as well as 
flavors like mocha, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and many others. 

Make sure all the macros work for whatever diet you are on, and that it offers an 
adequate amount of healthy protein for your smoothie.
