Why do I feel hungry after having protein powder?

This commonly happens if you are trying to replace entire meals with a low-calorie protein shake. Your protein powder isn't intended to take the place of a balanced, food-based meal. However, there are some ways that you can increase how satiated you feel from your protein shake. 

First off, we recommend adding whole foods to a blended protein smoothie. Including frozen fruit, nut butters, dairy/soy milk, etc. It's a quick and delicious way to make your blend more of a complete meal.

Another way to feel satiated is to switch to a Protein Powder that has micellar casein. This ingredient is a slow-releasing source of protein, which makes it perfect before bed, or between meals, for example. Having a slow-absorbing protein source like micellar casein in your blend can be effective at keeping hunger more controlled. Check out our Everyday Whey Protein here.
