Everyone can make a protein at home. All that is needed for this is a few of the main ingredients of the drink itself and a little desire. Making it at home, each person immediately gets several advantages: 100% confidence in the quality of the product, the comparative cheapness of the product and a huge selection of tastes. Protein at home will be useful not only to athletes whose body constantly requires increased protein intake, but also to ordinary people, because a cocktail can contain many vitamins. In addition to this advantage, a high cooking speed can be distinguished. Bodybuilders, as a rule, use high-quality protein from well-known manufacturers, but beginners can do it homemade.
You can drink a cocktail at any time: in the morning, between meals, before bedtime, before and after training (for athletes). Protein at home will be an excellent alternative to a quick breakfast, because after sleep, the body will require the nutrients you spend at night. It is also ideal to take a drink before bedtime, especially casein, which has a long assimilation time. This is necessary so that your body does not starve much during sleep. And finally, the last one: this is a real find for losing weight, because 300-400 grams do not have such a huge amount of calories, but the feeling of fullness comes quickly. So, let's move on to the cocktails themselves. It’s worth cooking them by knocking all the products in a blender.

- 1 tbsp honey and gelatin.

These are the cocktails made by hand and at home. Of course, for one time it will be a bit too much, so it is better to stretch to 2, or even 3, receptions. In addition to the high protein content, such drinks also have a lot of carbohydrates, which bring fruits and other sweets. Therefore, in order not to get fat, you need to be careful with them. It should also be mentioned that most of these cocktails (prepared at home on natural products) are based on milk and cottage cheese, that is, sources of casein. For an athlete, such a drink before and after training will not help, because, as described above, has a low absorption rate. Athletes need to use whey protein at this time.
This is where the problem arises - it is impossible to cook whey protein at home. Of course, having KSB ( whey protein concentrate ), you can easily cope with the task. However, you can’t find it in an ordinary grocery store or supermarket, you will have to order it. The price of KSB in Russia ranges from 600 to 800 rubles per kilogram. If you want to buy whey protein from a registered manufacturer, then get ready to lay out 900 and more rubles per kilogram.
Of course, for a simple person, protein at home is a godsend, but he is unlikely to help an athlete, except for consumption before bedtime. The calorie content of most of the above cocktails can exceed 700 kcal per half-liter, so you should not heavily lean on them. However, this is better than drinking the same 0.5 liter of yogurt, right? Protein at home can be useful even for children because of the high content of vitamins. Taste + benefit - what could be better?
