By Aly Walansky — Written on Mar 06, 2019
Protein powders are very popular with people who are health conscious, doing a wellness or fitness regime, or training for a big fitness-related event. But not all protein powders are created equal.
There are many types of protein powder made from a wide variety of sources, for everything from weight loss to bulking up. But for ladies, would you be able to choose the best protein powder for women, specifically? Though there are plenty of choices for the best protein powder for weight loss, these options cater to your needs.
1. RSP Nutrition's Grass-Fed TrueFit
According to nutritionist Monica Auslander Moreno, MS, RD, LD/N, "The best protein powder for women would be RSP Nutrition's Grass-Fed TrueFit... Females will enjoy this product because, not only is it creamy and not chalky like many others on the market, but it is really a nutritional one stop shop — it contains a whopping amount of protein and fiber, both of which contribute to satiety, and the fiber serves as prebiotic fuel to power the probiotic complex it contains which all nourish the gut, immunity, and digestion.”
