Why protein deserves a place in your daily routine

Protein plays an important role in a healthy lifestyle. In this explainer, we break down what protein is, why it matters and how to easily include it in your daily routine.

Benefits

Muscle recovery and growth

The muscle soreness you feel after a workout is related to the fact that you have strained your muscles in such an extent that micro-tears in your muscle fibers appear. To close these micro-tears, you need proteins. They are also known as the most important building block of our body. The Whey Protein Shake has a high concentration of proteins. One shot of this after your exercise helps your muscles to recovery. Even more, in the process your body will prepare your muscles for the next physical effort by producing more muscle tissue. The result is more muscle growth!

Boost your metabolism

The Whey Protein Shake can provide more fuel to your muscles that they need for building and recovery. In this way, with all the energy at its disposal, your muscle mass can work harder to recover and build. This, in turn, can increase your metabolism. In addition, the combination of intensive physical exercise and protein intake structurally reduces your fat mass and increases your muscle mass. A more favorable body fat ratio (MFR) can lift up your metabolism as muscles consume more energy than fat.

Alternative to post-workout meal

Many power women among us have little appetite after exercising (let alone to eat a whole meal), while the need for nutrient supplementation is the strongest after exercise. The good thing about the Whey Protein Shake is that they are not only rich in proteins but also contain numerous vitamins and minerals. If you ask us, it is the ideal post-workout meal when you do not feel like putting an elaborate dinner on the table.

Easy to prepare

What makes the Whey Protein Shake even more suitable as a post-workout delight is the time advantage that comes with it. In our busy and wonderful lives, we are often in the race against time. In this light, what is better than a post-workout meal alternative that you can make in no time. All you have to do is add water, plant-based or dairy milk to our Protein Shakes. Moreover, if you go for the Whey Protein Shake, you can choose from the delicious flavors of strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and banana. You can also put your own twist on it by adding for example, nuts or granola. That is what we call a next-level indulgence after an intensive workout, which also perfectly suits the purpose of a tasty snack or a little pick-me-up during the day!

Fast absorption

After an intensive training session, you want to replenish your supplies as quickly as possible to fuel your muscles and the rest of your body. We at Cabau Lifestyle realise this all too well. That is why the Whey Protein Shake is formulated in such a way that the ingredients can be quickly absorbed into the body.

How to use

Enjoy your protein shake in no time

Just three steps away from your protein snack or post-workout delight.

  1. Fill your shaker or cup with 200 to 300 ml of water or milk
  2. Add 30 grams - about 1 scoop - of Whey Protein
  3. Shake it, powerwoman!

Take no more than 3 portions per day, of which 1 directly after your workout.

Extra tip: try to add the Protein Shake to a heavenly smoothie with yoghurt and fresh fruit.

FAQ

What are the Whey Protein Shakes made of?

The Whey Protein consists of mainly whey protein. Besides proteins as the main ingredient, the Whey Protein Shakes are also rich in vitamins & minerals. All the ingredients together can contribute to muscle recovery and growth, fat burning and energy boost.

Does it matter when I take the protein shakes?

We recommend you to take no more than 3 doses of Whey Protein or Vegan Protein per day. Take 1 of these 3 doses immediately after your workout.

How can I best drink the Protein Shakes?

You can take 30 grams - about 1 scoop - of Whey Protein with 200 to 300 ml of water or milk. You can also add it to a bowl of yoghurt or create your own recipe.


When is it better not to use Protein Shakes?

If you are under treatment by a doctor, always ask for advice first. Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Then we do not advise you to use the Protein Shakes.

Ingredients

Whey Protein combines high-quality protein with a creamy texture, without sugar spikes. A tasty, nourishing shake that supports muscle recovery and helps you feel satisfied.

Whey protein

Whey protein concentrate is a high-quality source of protein, which is essential for muscle growth and recovery. Protein can also help support a feeling of fullness.

Xanthan gum

That creamy mouthfeel of a milkshake with whipped cream, but without the fat, is thanks to xanthan gum. It's a fiber-rich ingredient that contributes to a smooth texture and supports healthy digestion.

Sucralose

Sucralose is a powerful sweetener that's up to 600 times sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed. It contains no calories and doesn’t cause sugar spikes. Sucralose has been used safely in foods for years and makes your shake just as tasty, without the downsides of added sugar.

Q&A

Krijg je van de vegan proteïne geen puistjes? Is de vegan smaak ook lekker om te drinken of valt dit wat tegen?
Hi Ruby, Smaak is uiteraard persoonlijk voor iedereen en hoe de huid reageert op een product is ook persoonlijk. Wij kunnen hier voor jou dus geen antwoord op geven. Liefs team Cabau
Val Ik af met fat burner en protein shake zonder te sporten?
Hi Tina, Afhankelijk van wat jij naast de shake en fatburner neemt zal jij resultaat behalen met het afvallen. Bij het afvallen is het van belang dat je meer calorieën verbrand dan dat je binnenkrijgt. Wat kan helpen is om een voedingsdagboekje bij te houden. Zo kun je precies bijhouden hoe veel calorieën je op een dag binnenkrijgt. Vervolgens kun je hier je eetpatroon aanpassen, zodat je in een calorietekort komt. Liefs Team Cabau
Is de whey protein shake van Cabau een isolate of concentrate?
Hi Jolina, Onze whey proteïne shakes bestaan uit beide whey concentrate en whey isolate. Liefs team Cabau
Wat is het grootste verschil tussen de high proteïne meal en de whey proteïne? Ik ben er zelf niet nog niet zo thuis in
Hi Sayna, De high protein meal kan gebruikt worden als maaltijdvervanger. Hier zitten in verhouding dus ook meer koolhydraten en andere voedingsstoffen in dan in de whey proteïne om een volwaardige maaltijd te kunnen drinken. De whey proteïne is meer bedoeld als middel om snel eiwitten binnen te krijgen. Hier zitten per dosering dan ook minder kcal in. Liefs team Cabau
