Think of metal. Think of steel plates at 45 lbs each. Those plates get lined on that 45lb bar and strong people hoist that weight in various methods to break down their muscles. Lifting heavy weights and building muscle is a part of preparedness.

Protein Powder for Preppers: Choosing It, Using It, and Storing It - A good quality protein powder can turn a "snack" into a nutritional motherlode at the touch of a blender. In fact, you don't even have to have a blender if all you want is the protein part. There are shaker cups with a little whisk ball inside that will thoroughly mix most good protein powders with nothing but people power. ( I like the ones with at least 28 ounces for more shaker space.)

Lots of people don’t want to hear about it but it’s real. Particularly those who don’t wanna get off their but and train don’t like to hear about this stuff.

Instead of dealing with the realities of fitness and health people often turn to their firearms as all the defense they need. 

When you get done lifting that heavy weight a lot of times people drink protein powders to aid in recovery. This helps build the muscles back stronger. It’s one aspect of that recovery but it’s an important one. 

Is Protein Powder for Muscles Only? 

Think about it. We work on bushcraft skills and learn to make traps, we also learn to hunt, for one reason. That reason is to get protein into our bodies. We look at meat as a very important part of any survival situation. 

Cooked meat is great because it’s an easily digestible protein that the body sucks right up. These protein powders are just the same thing!

Preppers should store protein powders.

How to Use the Protein Powders

There are many ways to use these powders. The most common method is to whizz them up in a blender with water or milk. This is the classic protein shake. You can add fruits or other additions like flaxseed oil to get a great nutrition boost. 

If you buy unflavored proteins you can do things like adding the powder to other foods like tomato sauce or soups. These powders mix in best with dairy or cream-based dishes. Protein-packed mac and cheese is a great survival meal that everyone will love.
