7 Clean Protein Powders for Your Favorite Recipes

Power up weight loss with an extra protein boost!

Ready to add a boost to your weight loss journey? Protein powder is an ingredient you should consider adding to your menu. Check out these 7 clean protein powders for your favorite recipes.

In days past, protein powders were primarily used by bodybuilders to support and maintain muscle mass. However, these powders are also a great way to help you build lean (not bulky!) muscle. Lean muscle tissue development is a key part of losing weight and keeping it off for good. It burns more calories than fat tissue, so your metabolism works at a higher level—even when you’re resting.

Typically protein powders come from sources like whey or soy, although there are other sources as well. The most common is whey, which is made from a milk protein. In addition, whey is considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine necessary amino acids. If you’re a vegan, you’ll likely want to use a soy-based powder instead.

We’ve taken some of our favorite weight loss smoothies, shakes, and drinks and combined them with clean protein powders, which don’t contain added refined sugars, preservatives, or other questionable ingredients. Many of them are also GMO and hormone free, further reducing your exposure to environmental toxins.
