Cold Drinks and Protein Shake: A new trend of social media is being seen, in which cold drinks are being mixed with protein shakes, but health experts advise against it. Popularized on TikTok by Rebecca Gordon, a teacher from the US state of Utah, this frothy blend is the newest form of 'dirty soda'. This is a concept in which soda is enhanced with syrup, cream or other additives. While the mixture has sparked curiosity in many places, including India, health professionals are skeptical.

Do not mix cold drinks and protein shakes

Famous nutritionist Nikhil Vats believes that mixing cold drinks and protein shakes can cause digestive problems. The carbonation emanating from soft drinks, especially when it is mixed with protein powder, can cause flatulence. Also, aspartame, an artificial sweetener present in cold drinks, can trigger headaches or digestive sensitivity in some people.

You do not get any extra nutritional value from such a mixture. The carbonate and caffeine present in cold drinks can spoil the digestion, while the frothy charm of the drink remains superficial. Following this trend can cause damage to your health in the long term. It is very possible that such an attempt is just a marketing gimmick.

How to drink protein shakes?

However, it is also important to understand that every person's tolerance to the mixture can vary.
