[JJ Virgin]( Happy 4th of July! I hope youâre enjoying this day of summer fun. Iâve got a burger recipe thatâs sure to end your holiday right. But first, letâs talk one of my favorite topics: protein. Essential for your body to thrive and increasingly important as you age, itâs the nutrient that will fill you up, keep you strong, and eliminate cravings that stall your health goals. I champion eating protein first at every meal, and my favorite way to kick off my day is with a delicious loaded smoothie. But Iâm not just recommending any old protein shake. Iâve seen even savvy health professionals make giant mistakes that wipe out the benefits of the beverage. Iâm going to tell you how to be better than the pros and [avoid all those errors]( in this weekâs blog. Plus, Iâm hopping on my podcast to [answer a listener question]( about whether protein shakes cause food intolerances. And as promised, Iâm leaving you with a protein-packed [burger recipe]( thatâs perfect not just for a summer BBQ, but all year long! [This week's blog]( Tip 1: If youâre doing a protein shake, do it right. All kinds of factors can quickly turn your protein shake from nutritious to a no-go. [This weekâs blog]( lays them all out, from the size of your drink (yup, it does matter!) to the type of protein powder you use, to the ingredients you might be forgetting (or afraid) to add. When you avoid these rookie mistakes, youâll get a loaded smoothie that actually fills you up and energizes you. And bonus, it will be delicious, too! [This Podcast]( Tip 2: Learn the effects of your daily habits. I get all kinds of questions from people who have misconceptions about protein shakes. They think theyâre only for beefy gym dudes, or arenât sure if you can really enjoy one every single day. In [this podcast episode]( Iâm fielding a great question about whether a daily protein shake can cause sensitivities, giving you tips on building a nutritious shake you can enjoy whenever you like, and pinpointing the common pitfalls which are the real factors contributing to food intolerances. [Tex-Mex Burger with Avocado Salsa]( Tip 3: Enjoy a burger before the fireworks. Just like your plate isnât complete without protein, a summer holiday dinner isnât the same without a delicious burger. One of my favorites is this [Tex-Mex Burger with Avocado Salsa](. As if the burgerâs warming spices and crispy bacon werenât enough, itâs topped with one of my favorite superfoods: avocado! Chopped into a salsa with flavors that make the whole burger come alive, itâs the kind of meal you simply canât put down on the 4th of July or any other day! Love, JJ P.S. FLASH SALE alert!
