Post-Workout Protein for Sensitive Stomachs

Do you ever experience digestive problems after consuming protein powders or supplements? Check out this post that highlights post-workout protein for sensitive stomachs.
I am in the thick of IRONMAN training right now, so I have been doing a lot of big workouts. This leads to one thing, I am hungry all the time! I am trying to be disciplined and choose nutritious food to fuel my body after 3-hour bike rides and 90 minutes of swimming. However, I typically have to eat on-the-go after exercising. So, one of my favorite things to have afterward is a protein-filled smoothie. I load fresh fruits and veggies into the blender along with greek yogurt and protein powder. Then, I enjoy it as I am carpooling my kids to various activities or sitting down to work.
Post-Workout Protein for Sensitive Stomachs
It has been trial and error over the years to find what works as I do have a sensitive stomach. Some forms of protein supplements have wreaked havoc on my digestive tract. At one point, I stopped using them altogether. I talked to several different people to see what worked for them. This is when I learned about an ingredient called ProHydrolase. It has been a game changer for me! Now, I can enjoy my post-workout protein smoothies without upsetting my sensitive stomach.
What is ProHydrolase?
ProHydrolase is a Non-GMO and Star-K Kosher certified ingredient that can be found in some brands of protein supplements. It optimizes the benefits of these supplements by helping the body to absorb the protein. By doing this, ProHydrolase decreases digestive discomfort that occurs when protein is not broken down. It works to help digest many different forms of protein, including: whey, soy, egg, casein, hemp, and pea.
Benefits of ProHydrolase
There have been a number of studies done with ProHydrolase to prove its efficacy. What did they show? ProHydrolase rapidly breaks down protein and increases the availability of amino acids in the blood stream. It works to reduce large peptides that are related to stomach discomfort after protein consumption. These studies have also shown that ProHydolase decreases C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which is a marker of inflammation in the body.
Post-Workout Tropical Protein Smoothie
Now that I have discovered ProHydrolase, I look for protein powders and supplements that contain this ingredient. One of my favorite post-workout drinks is this quick and easy tropical protein smoothie!

This post is so timely for me! Now that my mileage is ramping up, I've noticed that I'm not hungry right after my long runs, even though I know that's the time I need to get protein in. I will try this smoothie - thanks for sharing!
I’m definitely gonna have to look for this when I’m protein-shopping again in the future!
ProHydrolase sounds like a really interesting product and so great that it works for people with digestive issues. Will have to check it out
I have heard of it but was not sure what it was. Thanks for the info. I am not usually hungry for about an hour after running and when I start running longer again I will need to add in more protein.
This is awesome!!! I will definitely try this protein out especially when I have an upset stomach.
I've never heard of ProHydrolase. Love the sounds of it though as I have a sensitive system too. Will have a look!
This smoothie looks delicious. I usually just drink water after a workout. I did not hear before of ProHydrolase but it sounds like a great addition to any smoothie. I will definitely give it a try.
Typically, I'm not a smoothie fan, but this tropical one sounds delish!
This sounds like a great option! I have had an upset stomach before when trying to refuel after exercise, so I'll have to check this out for next time.
I will share that post with my older daughter. She can't have anything due to her being very sensitive to a lot of food products.
This is an awesome smoothie! I can have a sensitive stomach at times, and I love that this one is both healthy, yummy and a great post workout smoothie!

I love this! I needed to see this recipe because I have a really sensitive stomach. Need to go and get some coconut milk!
I have a very sensitive stomach. Prohydrolase sounds like just what I need for my finicky tummy. Going to look for it when Im reading my labels. Thanks for the tips and recipe.
I love to make a refreshing berry smoothie after my workouts, but after reading this I'm thinking I need to add some protein into the mix!
Oh these look so good. I love a good protein smoothie especially after working out
Prohydrolase is a protein digesting enzyme. I can see how it could help some people with sensitive stomachs, but I'm assuming it's contraindicated for people with ulcers, right?
My smoothies have always been very very basic, but I definitely need to add more, this sounds delicious! I'm not in training for an ironman, but I am in training for aerial and I've just doubled that training and I need all the help I can get to recover!
I haven’t heard of ProHydrolase before but I’m very interested! I just started training for my next marathon so the weekly mileage is getting higher and higher. Good luck on your Iron Man!
Yay for ironman training! You are a rockstar! I have never heard of prohydrolase before so will have to check it out!
Wow I’m definitely going to have to try this for my stomach! I usually stick to protein shakes
Ah now how interesting this is for me and deffo something that I would look out for sure. I will have to give this a go, as my stomach does go funny xx
Thank you for this. I've always looked for protein shakes that worked on my sensitive stomach and I wasn't able to find it. This would be great to try
I have never heard of ProHydrolase before. It’s nice to hear it worlds well die sensitive stomach.
This smoothie sounds amazing! Those ingredients are on point. I love using Prohydrolase to combat stomach issues.
Love this smoothie! Looks so green and gorgeous! And ProHydrolase is awesome!
good to know about this ingredient, I think it might be helpful for me.
