How to Add BCAA to Whey

Whey protein is a supplement that is used to satisfy the appetite, supports lean muscle and promotes the immune system.  Usually, it is found in powder and comes in many different flavors.  The powder can be mixed with juice, milk or even water.  BCAA (branched-chain amino acids) are usually included in whey powder but more can be added if desired.  The BCAA helps with body recovery after workouts.

Things you’ll need

• Whey protein powder


• Branched-chain amino acids


• Blender or shaker


• Scoop 


• Spoon


• Liquid of your choice (juice, milk or water)


• Glass for drinking

Instructions

1.      Add the liquid you choose, juice, milk or water to the blender or shaker.  Then add scoops of the whey protein powder with the liquid.  One scoop of protein powder is needed for every six to eight ounces of liquid.  The branched-chain amino acids can then be added.  One scoop is all that is needed.

2.      Mix the drink with the blender or shaker.  Make sure the blender is plugged into an outlet and then securely place the lid on top.  Press the on button on the blender and watch it mix for about 20 to 30 seconds.  Once you cannot see any more balls of powder, the drink is mixed.  If you are using a shaker, you will shake the liquid for about 25 to 30 seconds.

3.      Remove the lid from the blender or shaker and pour the drink into your glass.  Make sure that there are no more lumps of powder by mixing the drink a bit with the spoon. You can also be sure that the consistency is to your liking.

4.      Drink the protein drink once it is mixed completely and is the consistency that you wish.
