Watertown Chiropractic - super shakes

So, to kick off the NFL season on a tasty note, we figured we’d share a few of our special NFL inspired Super Shakes.

Super Bowl Super Shakes (PW)

PW (Post-Workout) shakes are high in protein and carbohydrate. For this reason they’re best served after working out.

Super Bowl Super Shakes (Anytime)

A Note About Protein Choice

As you check out the shakes above, you’ll notice that each of them includes a protein supplement. Specifically, MRI Nutrition’s Pro-NOS product.

Yet there’s another, more important, reason for choosing MRI’s Pro-NOS. You see, it’s certified free of banned substances by NSF International.

Any product used in the NFL has to be certified by the NSF as part of their Certified for Sport Program. So, no certification, no recommendation.

Of course, there are a ton of other great protein choices out there. And, as long as you stick with a reputable brand, you should be fine.

Yet, when it comes to the NFL, the choices narrow quickly. So, for our Super Bowl Super Shakes, Pro-Nos it is.

The PW vs. Anytime Distinction

One other thing you’ll notice about the shakes above is that there are two types: PW and Anytime.

PW Shakes
PW shakes are high in protein and carbohydrates. Therefore, these shakes are best served after exercise (pw = post workout).

Anytime Shakes
These shakes are high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Therefore they can be consumed anytime during the day.

In essence, the “anytime” vs “pw” distinction is based on a concept known as nutrient timing. And if you’re not familiar with nutrient timing, I have to say, you’re totally missing out. It could be your limiting factor when it comes to improving health, body comp, and performance.

You see, traditional exercise nutrition focused on “what” to eat and “how much” of it. However, research from the last 5 years shows that “when” you eat may be equally important. In fact, if I could only recommend one habit to powerfully improve a person’s intake, it would be to adopt the Precision Nutrition principles of carbohydrate timing.

For more on nutrient timing, including carbohydrate timing, check out the Precision Nutrition System. Everything is spelled out in easy to understand language that can be applied immediately.
