Some people ask why CardioTabs sells a whey protein product. Isn’t that just for athletes, people ask. The answer is simple. Whey protein isolate is one of the absolute best things you can use to fuel your body. Not only is whey protein isolate the cleanest, purest, most complete (and nonfat!) protein source available, but it tastes really great too. Whey protein isolate will keep you feeling full for a long time. It can also help you build lean body mass.
We have formulated CardioWhey to contain only the highest quality whey protein isolate with none of the concentrates and fillers many whey products contain. We’ve also added magnesium and chromium and to CardioWhey.
I know that CardioWhey is one of the healthiest things I can recommend to my clients. We’re all busy and whey protein is truly easy to make, especially for breakfast. It takes less than 30 seconds to make and it’s portable. There IS time for breakfast. Here are a few taste-tested recipes we’ve developed that provide the color and protein you need to start the day right.
Memory-Boost Smoothies
(Blueberries are a terrific memory-boosting food and this is a great way to get them into your diet.)
Blueberry/Apple Sauce
1 cup nonfat skim milk
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
½ cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop CardioWhey Vanilla
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
Berry Blend
1 cup nonfat skim milk
½ cup frozen strawberries
½ cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop CardioWhey Vanilla or Chocolate
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
More Color & Protein
Mandarin Orange
1 cup nonfat skim milk
½ cup canned mandarin oranges (drained)
1 scoop CardioWhey Vanilla
(Try adding ½ cup frozen blueberries – tastes great together and packs even more of a nutritional punch.)
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
1 cup nonfat skim milk – we used unsweetened almond milk, yum!
¼ cup canned pumpkin (plain, not pumpkin pie mix)
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon combined)
½ banana
2 scoops CardioWhey Vanilla
Try adding a few ice cubes to this to make really cold.
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
Note – while all recipes listed here call for skim milk, you can substitute with nonfat, unsweetened non-dairy milk. We tried skim milk and unsweetened almond milk in the recipes and loved both results.
