A Protein Powder Without The Additivesβ¦
Are you in the market for a protein powder without the additives? Iβve been on a calorie deficit for the last couple of months in an attempt to lose a little weight before I get married next year β and donβt worry, itβs not something I feel pressured to do, itβs just something I really want to do for myself. Protein powders have been a huge part of my daily diet as Iβm not much of a breakfast person, so I find smoothies & shakes a great way to make sure I have a morning meal when Iβm not feeling it. Not only do they set me up for the day, but with a protein powder added in, theyβre really nutritional, keep me full, and great for muscle growth as well as weight management.
However, most protein powders can contain lots of additives and artificial sweeteners which are not beneficial to your health. With that in mind, Naked Nutrition have come along and brought Naked Whey to the market which is completely free of said additives and artificial sweeteners. Itβs also sourced from small non-GMO (not genetically modified) dairy farms, where the cows are grass-fed, free roaming, and raised without growth hormones like rBGH or rBST.
Naked Whey is not only GMO free, but itβs gluten and soy free too! The benefits of grass-fed whey, is that the cows days are spent freely roaming resulting in much higher quality milk. Grass-fed whey is better for the animals, the environment, and of course for humans with all the health benefits it offers.
Each serving of Naked Whey includes 25 grams of protein and 5.9 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). The branched-chain amino acids, as well as Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine, help muscle-protein synthesis to promote muscle growth and recovery after exercise. The Whey Protein from grass-fed cows can help you improve your strength and contains higher levels of immune-boosting compounds which improve your bodies antioxidant response and fight against harmful bacteria. It also helps preserve lean muscle mass and burn more fat β resulting in you hitting all your health goals!
I picked the Chocolate Whey Protein Powder which is delicious in a morning shake, my favourite way to have it is with some milk and fresh strawberries, and sometimes a little bit of yogurt too. You can use it in your protein shakes, smoothie bowls, or even when baking. The mornings, or before, or after a workout is the best time to consume the protein powder β first thing on a morning is my personal favourite. Itβs super easy to make, you simply add two scoops into 6-10oz of milk, water, or your favourite beverage and add your fruit/veg of choice to enhance the flavour. Naked Nutrition also suggest pairing the chocolate Naked Whey with the PB flavour which Iβm keen to try next β I do love a peanut shake!
