PantryPic #812: Goat Whey Protein

-Goat Whey Protein Concentrate. 
-Consider if you have a food sensitivity to Cow’s Milk.
-The less ingredients, the better.
-Should not contain Soy or Sugar Alcohols.
-I recommend Tera’s Goat Whey Protein or Naked Goat Whey.

-Great for a post-workout recovery drink to get an intentional insulin spike or in any SHAKE recipe.
-Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are key for muscle recovery and rebuilding.
-Can aid in boosting glutathione production to help your body naturally detox.
-Be sure not to exceed your daily protein requirements.
*Made from Goat’s Milk, so consider a Plant-Based Protein if sensitivities exist.*
