Maintaining strong, healthy muscles becomes more important as we move through midlife — especially for women over 50. Adding high-quality protein to your diet doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, it can be downright delicious.
Smoothies are a simple and effective way to deliver the protein your muscles need for repair, energy, and resilience — all while being kind to your digestive system.
🥤 Why Protein Matters After 50
After age 50, natural muscle loss accelerates. This process, known as sarcopenia, can lead to weakness, reduced mobility, and slower recovery. Getting enough protein helps to:
- Preserve lean muscle mass
- Improve strength and endurance
- Support bone health and joint function
- Speed up recovery from workouts or physical activity
Protein is especially effective when paired with physical activity like walking, resistance training, or yoga.
