Terrific Ways To Increase Your Protein
February 5th, 2010
I really enjoy this Tight Curves Protein Powder especially formulated for women. Tight Curves delivers many benefits that virtually every woman wants and needs to achieve and maintain a tight, toned and healthy body. This powder supports low carbohydrate diets, facilitates muscle toning, accelerates fat loss, reduces water retention and even can improve the health of hair, skin & nails. Personally I enjoy the protein packets which gives you the exact portion for a yummy post workout shake. But, in addition to being perfectly portable for us busy moms…there are a host of wonderful recipes you can use with this powder. Here are a few favorites!
Tight Curves Triple Berry Custard

* Mint leaf to garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix yogurt and Tight Curves in a bowl.
2. Once all of the protein powder is mixed in and you’ve created a custard, add in the berries and mix.
3. Pour into a glass dessert dish and garnish with a mint leaf. Chill for 20 minutes and serve!

Tight Curves Protein Bars
2 scoops chocolate Tight Curves Protein Powder
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4-1/3 cup Smart balance peanut butter, chunky
1 tablespoon flax
3/4-1 cup water
can also add dried fruit, or nuts
Mix all ingredients together (will be very sticky and semi-thick).Press into 8×8 pan, place in freezer for 20 min, take out of the freezer and cut into 10 bars, then place back in freezer. I eat them directly out of the freezer on my way to the gym. You can also substitute the peanut butter for almond butter or for 1 large banana. So yummy!

Absolutely! Of course, you should try to get most of your daily protein from regular foods, however, there are a few times of the day where protein shakes would be better then eating a regular food. One of these times is first thing in the morning. Your body has not eaten for the last 8 or so hours while you were sleeping, so a whey protein shake (which is the fastest digesting protein there is) would be the perfect thing to give your body. The same goes for directly after your workout. This is probably the most important time to have a shake. Since you just worked out, your muscles need to rebuild and repair themselves, and this is the most important time to give your body protein.
