Protein shake
Hi everybody, quick question. Does the Protein Skake for muscle mass building be considered as sweetened food (which is the case) but so useful after workouts?

annefood 7yr Great question @johnnyjumper ! No, your protein shake is not considered to be a sweet/dessert, and is allowed on this Challenge. We designed this Challenge to help people get out of the habit of reaching for a dessert or candy as a snack instead of real food, and out of the habit of always needing dessert after a meal. I'm so glad you're aware of the added sugar in your protein shake though! If you were doing the Avoid Added Sugar Challenge, then the protein shake would not be allowed. There are some shakes/protein powders on the market that are sweetened with stevia, and some unsweetened powders if you're trying to cut back on sugar intake in general. Making an after-workout smoothie with whole food protein such as nut butter or yogurt could be a good option as well. -
johnnyjumper 7yr Ok interesting. Thanks Anne! I'll try to find a protein shake without any additional sweetener or@make one myself.
I made it 4 days on the The No Added Sugar Challenge!

annefood 👍🏼 you've got this!

johnnyjumper Thanks Anne. I'll jump into no sugar (added). Going to be harder. They put sugar even in Salmon slices, bought at a supermarket. In Salmon!

annefood I know it's insane isn't it?! Sugar is in everything from peanut butter to tomato sauce. Glad that's your next Challenge!
I made it 11 days on the The Avoid Soda Challenge!

annefood Congratulations @johnnyjumper ! So excited for you! How has it been going?
-
johnnyjumper No prob. Stop soda is easy but quitting transformed Sugar is much much more complicated.

annefood Maybe that Challenge is next then?
