What are protein powders for?

Protein powders are essentially concentrated sources of protein, often used for convenience or to quickly boost intake, especially after exercise. While Tia shows they're not essential for reaching high protein targets, they can be helpful for busy people or those with very high needs. They're just one tool, not a mandatory part of a protein-rich diet.
