Tonus & Crumble
Hey Tonus, ever think about how the flavor of your protein shake can actually change how you feel during a workout?
Yeah, if it’s too sweet it can be a distraction, so I keep it simple and consistent, never letting flavor get in the way of lifting.
I hear you, keeping it simple makes the muscles focus, not the taste buds. A tiny pinch of sea salt or a splash of lemon can reset the flavor without turning the shake into a dessert, and you still get that clean lift. It’s a subtle tweak, but sometimes the little changes keep the routine from feeling stale.
Sure, I’ll try a pinch of salt or lemon if it keeps the shake from being a distraction, but no flavor overkill, just enough to keep the lift clean.
Sounds like the perfect balance—just enough to keep the lift sharp, no flavor storm. If it feels too mild, a teeny splash of lemon can add that bright lift without drowning the protein; just a little, like a secret note between reps. Good call.
That’s the plan—keep it sharp, keep it steady, and let the lift do the talking. Just a touch of lemon when it needs a kick, nothing that pulls focus away. Stay disciplined.
Sounds like you’ve got a solid rhythm—sharp, steady, and a dash of lemon to spark when you need it. Keep that discipline, and you’ll notice the lift really takes the spotlight. Good luck, and feel free to let me know how the flavors play out.
Thanks, it’s working. The salt keeps my electrolytes up, the lemon gives a quick lift, and I stay focused on the set. Will let you know if anything else shifts.
That’s great to hear, Tonus. It’s nice to see the salt and lemon doing their job like quiet teammates. If you ever feel the need to tweak the texture—maybe a splash of almond milk or a whisper of cinnamon to keep the palate fresh—just let me know. The taste is the silent partner to the lift, after all.
