Can I mix ENERGYFIRST® ProEnergy® Protein Powder with fruit juice?
You can but that would defeat the purpose of the ENERGYFIRST Program. Fruit juice, even freshly squeezed, is very high in sugar. It takes many pieces of whole fruit to make one glass of juice. Fruit juice is very quickly broken down into glucose in your bloodstream. It causes an instant blood sugar rush and subsequent insulin spike. You can use whole fruit in your shake, but not fruit juice. Whole fruit has fiber and is not as concentrated as fruit juice. The best plan is to blend whole fruit with raw oil and whey protein, which slow gastric emptying and the conversion of carbohydrates to glucose.
