Skim milk and nonfat yogurt are great ingredients for a high uric acid shake. Low-fat dairy products actually reduce the risk of gout attacks, so these protein-rich foods should be a part of your daily diet.
If you want to add protein powder to your workout shake, whey protein isolate, which is derived from milk, is a good choice. It contains gycomacropeptide, a component of milk that helps reduce the risk of uric acid buildup.
Plant-based protein powders such as soy, pea, hemp and rice will not increase uric acid levels. Human protein requirements range from 0.4-0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
To maximize the benefits of a protein shake, we can add cherries to help lower uric acid levels. Add frozen cherries and vanilla extract to the mixture of milk or low-fat yogurt.
Coffee also reduces gout flare-ups. Coffee ice cubes blended with milk and a small amount of chocolate syrup make a good drink.
A moderate daily intake of vitamin C will reduce uric acid in the body, so add some vitamin C-rich fruits to your milkshake.
