The secret recipe of Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold has done many experiments from time to time with his diet. For example, during a zoom interview with the Insider, he recently revealed his special protein drink. In the meeting, he was sipping on his glass of schnapps mixed with protein powder.

He said, “I add a little bit of schnapps or tequila — tequila is also good.” When asked why he is adding alcohol to the protein drink, he said it might make protein reach the bloodstream faster. Arnold puts tequila, or Austrian spirit schnapps, in his protein shakes. The scientific research on this logic suggests that if you mix alcohol with protein, it can reduce the growth of muscle. And it is an illegal way to pump protein into your body.
