This is the 5th blog in our 6 part blog series titled The Complete Guide to Protein. Today is a short & sweet blog to keep you going!
A good quality protein will mix right up regardless of the method or utensils that you use. That’s because these powders are instantized. Instantizing is a process that “fluffs-up” the powder so that it dissolves more quickly and completely in water, milk, or juice. They’re a little more costly, but unless you like protein shakes with the consistency of cold lumpy oatmeal, instantized powders are well worth the added expense.
Read the instructions carefully. Some proteins require multiple scoops, more or less liquid, or a blender or shaker cup to prepare.
Regardless of whether you use a blender, shaker cup, or a glass & spoon, always add the water, milk, or juice first. This ensures that you always have the right ratio of liquids and solids.

This is the fourth part of our 6 part blog series titles The Complete Guide To Protein. In this blog post we are talking about what to look for on the label when purchasing a protein powder.
Q: What is the difference between concentrates, isolates, and hydrolysates?
A: These are terms that indicate the type and extent of processing that has been done to a particular protein. Concentrates have much of the water, carbohydrates, lactose, minerals, and fat removed so the protein content is much more concentrated than it was before processing. Protein concentrates range from 34%-85% protein, but most reputable manufacturers use at least 80%. Isolates are further stripped of non-protein materials to yield purity levels of 90% or higher.
Because of the extra steps, energy, and processing losses, protein isolates are more expensive than protein concentrates. Hydrolyzed proteins or protein hydrolysates are proteins that have been partially broken down (also called pre-digested) into smaller pieces, known as peptides so they get into your system quicker. Hydrolysates are generally more expensive than isolates and concentrates because extra processing steps are required. In the end, all of these protein types are highly nutritious and basically provide similar benefits, but isolates and hydrolysates offer purity and performance advantages over concentrates.

So without further ado, let's tackle the question…
When Should I Take My Protein?

Welcome back to the second part of our 5 part blog series, The Complete Guide to PROTEIN! Today we are looking at the selection process of Protein Powders – what to look for, how much to use depending on your schedule and budget.
Q: What is the difference between faster, intermediate, and slower acting proteins?
A: In this case, “faster,” “intermediate,” and “slower” are all referring to the relative speed with which a given protein is broken down in the digestive tract and absorbed into the bloodstream for delivery to the liver and muscle tissues.
Generally speaking, whey proteins are the fastest, egg and whole milk proteins are in the middle, and casein proteins are at the slower end of the spectrum.
By strategically taking distinct types or blends of proteins at different times of the day, you can achieve greater results than by using the same single source protein or by arbitrarily choosing what type you use for every occasion.

Today we're kicking of a 5 part mini series on Protein. The idea is to provide some background information on Protein, what types there are, what they do, when you should take it and more. Thanks to the team at Optimum Nutrition for providing this info! :D
There was a time when getting a little extra protein involved tossing back raw eggs a la Rocky Balboa. Even if you could stomach the texture, there was always the very real threat of food poisoning.
Thankfully, those days are long gone. In the past two decades, proteins have become much safer and more convenient. They're quite a bit tastier too. High protein foods and supplements have infiltrated the Internet, store shelves, and the daily regimens of athletes – all for good reason.

We know everybody likes winning, and we hope you're all enjoying your supplements!
But we want to hear more. So we're going to be giving away $200 worth of supplements to one lucky monkey who reviews their supplements before the end of May!
This is an awesome opportunity to speak your mind and tell all the monkeys out there what you really thought about your purchase.
Reviewing a supplement is easy! Simply head to the product page, scroll down and click “Write a review” a text box will automatically pop up and you'll be able to rate the product and write your thoughts about the product.

We LOVE protein bars here at Mighty Ape – Protein Bars are a great solution for a quick and easy meal/boost for those on the go! Not all protein bars are created equal however… Today we're going to look at a couple of things to look out for next time you purchase a Protein Bar!
When selecting a protein bar one key factor to look at is the protein count – protein aids in keeping us feeling full for longer, you'll also want a higher quality protein. Look for Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate, and Casein.
Ideally you aren't going to want something with much sugar (less than ideal energy source). It's important to note here a lot of bars use sugar alcohols which technically aren't listed as sugar in the macros to make it taste sweet while still being ‘low sugar’. Sugar alcohols do however have a laxative effect in large amounts, higher amounts of calories than sugar, and can cause gastrointestinal distress.
On top of this other things to look out for are:
