💪 Protein RTDs, Protein Bars & High-Protein Cheeses — Are They Worth It?
Supermarket shelves are full of high-protein drinks, yoghurts, bars, and even cheeses — but are they a good choice and worth the $$?
Here’s what to look for 👇
🥤 1️⃣ Check the protein content:
For snacks ➜ aim for 10g+ protein per serve*
For main meals or meal replacements ➜ aim for 25g+ protein*
📋 2️⃣ Look at the ingredients list:
Do the ingredients sound familiar, or is it a long list of additives and sweeteners? The shorter and simpler, the better.
🥦 3️⃣ Whole foods first:
Foods like eggs, chicken, tuna, Greek yoghurt, nuts, and legumes should always be your base.
🚗 But… convenience has a place!
Protein shakes or bars can be handy on-the-go, post-training, or for travel when whole food options aren’t practical.
*It is important to check with a dietitian on your recommended daily protein intake and have personalised recommendations adapted for your needs.
