Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson promotes a post-workout smoothie that includes about 70 grams of protein powder, creatine, and jasmine rice, which he says helps with recovery. The outlets report that the drink mixes these ingredients into a single shake after training.
Both articles note that while the smoothie may fit some people’s goals, dietitians caution that it is not necessarily appropriate for everyone. They point out that high protein intake can be unnecessary or excessive depending on a person’s overall diet, body size, health conditions, and training routine. The rice ingredient and the overall calorie and nutrient load are also highlighted as variables that may not match every individual’s needs. The difference across outlets is primarily in emphasis: one focuses more on why the formula may be problematic for some readers, while the other frames it as a well-known example that still requires personalization.
