Whey protein, when used in conjunction with proper diet and exercise, can increase lean muscle mass and promote fat loss, reports the National Library of Medicine. One of many commercially available preparations of whey protein, Body Fortress offers the nutritional supplement in a variety of flavors.
Step 1
Choose according to your tastes from the available flavors of Body Fortress whey protein. While whey protein powder generally doesn't taste unpleasant, it's no milkshake. Body Fortress offers flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate peanut butter and even cookies and cream to help make your whey-drinking experience more palatable.
Step 2
Purchase a protein shaker cup to help you mix your whey protein quickly or when you're on the go. Body Fortress markets its own shaker cup but you can choose from different shapes, sizes and options from those offered by other manufacturers.
Step 3
Add two scoops of Body Fortress whey powder to your shaker cup and fill the cup with water. Ensure that the screen portion of the shaker cup, which helps separate the whey protein and prevent clumping, is firmly in place before you secure the lid. Shake well to mix your protein drink until the powder has fully dissolved, forming a smooth liquid free of powder or chunks.
Step 4
Drink your Body Fortress protein after you finish exercising. The most effective time to use a whey protein supplement such as Body Fortress is after a resistance workout, when your muscle fibers are broken down and ready for protein synthesis -- a key step in both muscle building and muscle recovery.
Step 5
Be creative with your protein shakes to make them tastier and even more nutritious. If you have a blender, you can mix a serving of Body Fortress whey protein powder with other ingredients, including fruit such as bananas or strawberries, milk, yogurt and peanut butter for a delicious shake that packs a protein punch. Add ice for a tasty, muscle-fueling smoothie.
