Pea protein to delay muscle fatigue
Pea protein powder has been generating serious buzz
in the sports nutrition community for some time now.
The reason: it's rich in branched chain amino acids,
compounds that have been shown to delay fatigue
during exercise. The arginine in this powder (which is
made from yellow peas) has also been shown to
enhance immunity, while the lysine boosts calcium
absorption and decreases calcium losses to help
maintain strong bones. One scoop can pack more
than 25 grams of lean protein, which can be whipped
into a smoothie along with almond milk, a dollop of
almond butter, cinnamon, and frozen cherries or
berries.
