Good morning and welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition's new midweek segment called Ask a Nutritionist.

My name is Brittany Vincent and I am a registered and licensed dietitian.

And on today's show brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness, we will be answering a nutrition question we've received from our Dishing Up Nutrition listeners.

And today's question is, can you share a thorough

discussion on protein powders? I think protein powders can be really confusing because there are so

many different options on the market, but they can be a great way to get some extra protein in the day, if you struggle to get adequate

protein, or if you just need some quick go-to protein options, the protein powders can be a great

way to get that. And, you know, it's something I personally utilize on a regular basis, and a lot of my clients do as well.

So let's start by talking about the different protein powders we just generally recommend.

Way protein, beef protein, and plant-based protein powders are usually the three different options and are the most common ones.

And many of our clients use a way protein powder. So way is dairy. You know, a lot of people

don't realize that way does come from dairy. I think of that old nursery rhyme, curds and

way where they talk about that. So if you are dairy sensitive or if you

have a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, you would want to avoid weight protein. But if you

don't have an issue with dairy that you're aware of, I think that the way protein is a great option to try at first.

Way protein powder mixes really well. I think it tastes good and a lot of times it is a more

affordable option. At Nutriky we offer an unflavored one, a chocolate and a vanilla. And the chocolate and vanilla are sweetened with stevia.

In case you would like to avoid those, then I would go for the unflavored option.

You know, for those who are dairy sensitive, I would recommend a beef protein powder.

I get a lot of weird looks when I recommend beef protein because,

you know, it sounds kind of strange at first, but I promise it does not taste like beef at all.

On our Nutriky website or in our locations, our beef protein is called paleo protein powder.
