I personally think protein shakes are healthier than sports drinks because 1) your body needs proteins and amino acids, its an essential macronutrient. 2) it rebuilds muscle fibers after a workout, and 3) most good quality protein powders are from sources like casein or egg and are cold-mixed which means the heat will not denature the proteins. Sports drinks are filled with excess amounts of sugars and sodium which are useless if you are not doing exercise (my friend isn't excersizing). what are your views? thanks.

Which of the two is the least healthy, protein shakes, or sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade, energy drinks, etc...) ?



I told my friend he should stop drinking sports drinks every day because its not healthy, then he mentioned how I drink a protein shake after every workout. since then, me and him have always been debating which one is healthier, or atleast which on is the least healthy. I personally think protein shakes are healthier than sports drinks because 1) your body needs proteins and amino acids, its an essential macronutrient. 2) it rebuilds muscle fibers after a workout, and 3) most good quality protein powders are from sources like casein or egg and are cold-mixed which means the heat will not denature the proteins. Sports drinks are filled with excess amounts of sugars and sodium which are useless if you are not doing exercise (my friend isn't excersizing). what are your views? thanks.
