Sean’s Supplement Tips

My top tips and secrets about shakes and supplements. Read on…

1. Great Harvest has quality protein in bulk, cheaper than anywhere else.   Support local!

2. The only 4 supplements you need for muscle-building:

• multi-vitamin
• protein – before bed, post workout, & with brekky!
• fish oil
• creatine

3. My favorite before bed muscle-building shake:
(not recommended for weight loss)

• 10 oz. of milk OR water
• 40 g.  protein (casein)
• 1 Heaping tablespoon of Ben-A-Fiber
• 1 shot of olive oil

The fiber and casein protein coagulates in your stomach, sending a trickle of nutrients into the blood stream. This lasts for hours feeding the muscle tissue all night. The olive oil adds healthy fats (omega-3) and has anti-inflammatory effects.

4. My favorite post workout shake:

• 8 oz. apple juice
• handful of mixed fruit  and berries
• 1 emergen-c pack
• 25 g. whey or soy protein
  (all ingredients available at The Ridge Juice & Brew)

Blend and ENJOY!!
