Fitness and protein go hand in hand.

Let's talk about your workout and protein and discover the how, the where and the why!

Not to too long ago, a close friend said to me that he purchased protein powder to go along with a new workout plan. I thought, "Great!" and didn't really think much more on it, until he began asking questions about when and how often to take it. Well, that got me thinking about the whole connection between protein and working out...

What does it do for you? When do you take it? How much do you take? Is it only for body builders? What is this mysterious relationship between protein and exercise?! I felt like it was time to put on a detective hat and twirl my fake, non-existent mustache.

Protein is an essential nutrient for the human body. Just as amino acids are the "building blocks" of protein, proteins are the "building blocks" of human tissues. We need to consume them in order to maintain normal body functions such as muscle recovery and growth, and maintaining energy.

Ahh! The connection between exercise and protein is becoming a little clearer. But there are so many types of protein sources and forms. We may understand what protein is but how do we use it to compliment our visits to the gym? In David Smith's Ultimate Guide to Protein Supplements, he explores the ins and outs of protein and your workout, as well as taking a closer look at the various sources of protein!

So have a fabulous workout, enjoy your protein accordingly, and don't forget your daily fibre!

If you are in the mood for a sweet and spicy smoothie, this is the recipe for you!

Cozy up after your workout with this nutritious protein smoothie from Alive Magazine!

There is something especially appealing about chai teas during the cold winter months. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the warming, spicyness of the aromatic herbs that mix together to create the chai blend...Or maybe it is its exotic origins of the far and warm east that gives chai its appeal. Whatever it is, chai tea is my favourite tea for the cold weather!

But even in cold weather, we need to keep our bodies moving and exercising! So why not go, workout, sweat and then recover with a tasty and nutritious Banana Chai Protein Shake?! With all the flavour kick of chai and the health power of protein, post workout, you really can't go wrong with this recipe.
