Lugging your
protein to the
gym can be
tiresome, but the
Blender Bottle
ProStack (£10.21,
iherb.com) offers
a solution.
A leak-proof
bottle with
a screw-on
compartment at
the base and
a wire mixing
ball to get rid
of unwanted
lumps. This
all-in-one shaker
is for those who
mean business.

Timing is of the
essence when it
comes to protein.
Dr Sarah Schenker
(left) is a leading
dietician, who
has worked with Premier League
football teams and renowned chef
Delia Smith, among others.
Dr Schenker explains: 'It's about
the delivering and timing of protein
rather than the quantity of it. The
misnomer is that the more protein
the better, but that's not the case.'
The nutritionist says many people
struggle with food after heavy
exercise, but suggests consuming
protein within half an hour, followed
by a full meal within two hours.
'There's a window of opportunity
to get protein back in the body.'
Dr Schenker is a brand ambassador
for Wow Protein (available in
Tropical and Summer Fruits, £2.49
each, Tesco). The drink has 20g of
whey protein and vitamins stored in
a blast cap, a product she calls 'a
very useful way of providing protein'.

MEAT
American ultra-runner Matt Frazier is
also known as The No Meat Athlete and
his cookbook by the same name was
selected as one of Sports Illustrated's
health and wellness books of this year
when it was released in the US. Matt
insists meat is not required to get the
necessary protein of a top athlete. The
book, which boasts 150 recipes, is out in
the UK in July (£18.99, The Experiment).

Protein hydrolysates might not
trip off the tongue, but they're big
business - the US market alone
is set to be worth £580million
by 2022. A protein hydrolysate,
where the protein has been
broken down in a reaction with
water, allows the body to absorb
amino acids more rapidly and
reduce muscle recovery time.
Try Platinum Hydrowhey
(£89.99, onacademy.co.uk).
