These sweet morning weight loss smoothies with whey protein will keep you feeling your best as you power through the day and will slim you down and increase your energy and perk you up! Why Whey Protein Delivers all day Pep and Weight Loss? Because…

Whey protein contains an aminao acid (leucine) that triggers muscle cells to use energy more efficiently.  Research in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed that this effect can raise the body’s ability to burn fat for fuel by 18 percent and increase calorie expenditure by 25 percent for up to 5 1/2 hours.

Enjoying a daily whey protein smoothie helps safegurard against the draining effects of stress.  The reason: Whey’s tryptophan stimulates the production of the moodlifting hormone serotoin while its amino acid glutamine increases levels of a key anxity-soothing brain chemical.

After drinking a whey smoothie, people in a study at the United Kingdom’s University of Surrey experienced a 68 percent increase in tow key appetite-suppressing hormones. Whey’s satiating effect stayed with them until their next meal, during which they consumed 19 percent fewer calorie than study subjects given a shake made with another form of protein (casein).
