After spending all weekend eating our way through Asheville, it’s time to reel it back in. Mondays are always a little tough for me – especially after a few days of indulging in all sorts of high-calorie foods and drinks. It takes me a little while longer to bounce back when I give in to my cravings.
Luckily, my Weight Watcher meetings are so appropriately placed on Monday evenings. This gives me the motivation that I need after the weekend and sets me up for a successful week ahead. Last night, we talked about high-protein snacks or items we can add to our meals. Increasing protein intake can keep us fuller for longer. And consuming protein immediately after a workout can help maximize muscle protein building and can lead to better results.

Premier Protein Shake Weight Loss:
At only 160 calories and 30 grams of protein (only 2 Smart Points!), this seems to be a Weight-Watchers favorite. This morning, after completing my workout, I’ll pair this with a banana for breakfast and have so many points left to spare for the day!
If you had a rough weekend – heck, even a rough day! – this is a great way to start over. Make the most out of your workout and keep yourself fueled throughout the day.
Questions of the Day:
- What must-have items do you have in your gym bag?
- How do you reel yourself back in after a weekend of ALL the eats?
I love protein shakes for after my workout. I do keep water and a protein bar in my gym bag as well, just on case!
I’ve heard about these before. They sound tasty, but I don’t do the protein shakes. I basically try to jog and stick to water.

My husband has been ALL about the protein shakes lately, however, he makes his own….. I am sure he’d like bottled ones – because it takes the thinking out of it, but… I think making your own is best! 🙂

I think that I may have tried these before and they were quite good. I like protein shakes because of the amount of protein they give you in one glass or bottle.

Oh I should try these for sure. I tend to not get enough protein. Huge issue of mine!
These look so convenient! I’m not a big shake drinker, but it’s such a good idea to pump up the protein intake post-workout. Definitely good advice about giving yourself permission/encouragement to start over after falling off the nutrition wagon.

A shake like this would be appropriate post-workout after some serious weight lifting. I’ll have to recommend it to my body building friends!

The weekend is always my downfall! I make it a habit of doing my weigh-in on a Friday morning so I know whether I can let loose on the weekend a bit or not 😉

These are my favorite pre-made protein shakes. Good suggestion!
My dad and stepmom have been drinking these. I need to get some for my hubby. He struggles w hunger.
My husband has been making protein shakes in the morning, but I usually run out of time. This is a great idea and definitely something I could stick with 🙂

I noticed a huge difference in the way I felt when I drank a protein shake after my workouts. I may just have to give these a try. 🙂

This looks like a good protein shake and agree with you on taking some carbs with it too in the breakfast. Good to connect with you Divya through this. 🙂

After weeks or weekend of overeating, I tend to detoxify with lots of fruit juices and detox tea. And yup its very fulfilling 🙂
These shakes look and sound like a great idea. It’s definitely worth considering as something to go with my morning workout.

These shakes sure look good.
Do they taste good?
I am going to order some and try.
I have a family wedding coming up:):) and need to lose 10-15 lbs.
Wish me luck folks.
Thanks Divya for these excellent WW tips.
Hello Divya:
I just ordered the protein shake (thru your website) and found that it is available in
banana flavor.
I hope you get credit for it as I ordered it thru your blog.
You can order that instead of getting the chocolate ones and adding banana to it.
This is just FYI.
IM IN LOVE WITH THOSE SHAKES
These are the best protein shakes!
If you are in a hurry, what a nice option! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Asheville!
