Read the Labels and See the Difference! Go to any health food store and you’ll see – there are a lot of protein powders out there! Even if you try to read the labels, it can be tough to navigate through the long list of unfamiliar ingredients. Here’s what I look for in a quality protein:

•  Digestibility
•  Quality of Whey
•  Absorption

If the protein powder you’re using doesn’t have these characteristics, it’s a waste of time and money!
