All the reasons why women should reap the benefits of protein in their diet
By: Kerry Foreman, Owner and Founder of Muskoka Mornings®
THE MYTH: So many women still worry that protein powder will make them look bulky or “manly”.
In reality, in order to “bulk” up one would need to partake in a significant amount of weight lifting, coupled with huge levels of protein. Using No Yolking™ 100% Egg White Protein Powder will not give you a bulky look but will instead offer a low-fat, clean protein with a variety of health benefits.
Benefits of Protein Powder
Protein powder can help women’s muscles recover after a workout, aid in weight management and weight loss, stabilize blood sugar, boost metabolism, and reduce cravings. Plus, the amino acids that make up No Yolking™ are essential for manufacturing many hormones, which are the body’s communications messengers!
Incorporating protein powder into your meals, snacks or even your morning coffee will help leave you feeling full for longer — great for individuals trying to lose weight or cut back on snacking.
On top of this, protein powder is very popular among active females to help with muscle growth and recovery. Women in competitive sports, those who lift weights or those who participate in increased cardiovascular activities, use protein powder to help their muscles recover faster and thus reduce muscle pain.
Protein powder can also be used to reduce blood pressure. Specifically, a new study reported that beverages supplemented by protein powder (like our latte recipes) can significantly reduce elevated blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart and stroke disease.
Protein powder also helps so many women who find it a challenge meeting their nutritional needs, and daily intake of protein — vegetarians, especially. If you’re finding it hard to meet your protein needs without having meat in your diet, rest assured that you can easily incorporate No Yolking™ 100% Egg White Protein Powder into your meal plan and get your protein needs met in a variety of delicious ways!
Finally, our egg white protein contains all 21 amino acids that are required for healthy hair and nail growth, all the while improving your skin from the inside out.

As mentioned above, a great way to increase your protein intake is to add protein to your drinks. Within the weight loss community, it is very popular to add protein into your morning coffee to help reduce cravings and stay full throughout the day. Our Golden Protein Latte is a popular morning coffee replacement that will keep you full all day as well as give you all of the various benefits mentioned above. This latte also includes turmeric and ginger, which work together to give your body an immune boost (crucial to help protect you as COVID-19 restrictions continue to lift).

Next time you are craving a sugary dessert, try replacing it with one of our delicious desserts. They all feel like a treat, but are still super wholesome, offering a range of health benefits, while helping your protein in. Our Summer Fruit Nice Cream is a great treat to try as the weather gets warmer. This is an easy and quick 5 minute recipe that is packed with protein and various fruits. Often fruits may raise our blood pressure because they contain natural sugars, so try sticking to berries and avoid the tropical fruits. The added protein powder will also help stabilize the blood sugar spike. This is a great treat to end your night with and it will keep you full all night long while helping recover your muscles after a day of working hard. For more dessert recipes, check out our website.
