CollaborationIn a bid to maintain muscle mass now that Ive hit a certain age, protein powder plays an integral part in my nutrition, helping me hit those all-important macros. For the last few weeks, Ive been using Naked Nutrition whey protein powder read on to find how Ive been getting on with it.Having spent the last 8 years experiencing the joys of perimenopause, I understand just how important maintaining muscle mass is. Add to this my recent intentional weight loss journey, sparked by my desire to make my 50th year my fittest and healthiest year yet, and nutrition has become a bigger priority than ever.Having lost over 25kg so far, Im by no means done, and have made sweeping changes to my nutrition, which have included prioritising protein. Ive found it impossible to reach my protein goals through the food I eat alone, though, but the easiest way Ive found to boost my intake is to make myself a daily smoothie.Packed full of fruity goodness, my go-to smoothie is capable of hitting a variety of macro goals and can easily be adapted depending on your preferences and personal nutritional requirements. Heres my basic protein smoothie recipe.Shells Protein Smoothie Recipe2 scoops Naked Nutrition whey protein powder150ml skimmed milk / apple juice / almond milk5-6 strawberriesHeaped tablespoon of PineappleHeaped tablespoon of mixed berriesSpoon of pre-soaked chia seeds / ground flax seed / oats33g protein / 320 caloriesOptional AdditionsHoneyLow fat Greek yoghurtKefirCustomise your smoothie however you likeWhats great about a homemade protein smoothie is you can use any fruit youve got whether fresh, tinned or frozen. I have some very specific texture preferences, so I always opt for frozen fruit, but sometimes Ill add a handful of oats instead of ground flax, a spoon of pre-soaked chia seeds or if Im craving sweetness, Ive been known to add extra pineapple and a spoon of honey.I get bored very quickly and crave novelty, so I love being able to switch up the fruits and extras I throw into my smoothie each day to ensure it never becomes dull.For many months, I was predominantly using Bulk Vanilla Whey Protein (vanilla being my flavour preference as it works with the widest variety of ingredients in my opinion), and all I want is natural ingredients, a natural flavour and a powder that blends effortlessly into my daily smoothie.Opening the gigantic tub of Naked Vanilla Whey Protein Powder, I was hit by a lovely vanilla scent that made me keen to get stuck in and try it. Blended in my Ninja Smoothie Maker with my usual preferred ingredients, the protein powder adds a natural vanilla background note and mixes smoothly, resulting in a delicious high-protein smoothie.A 37g serving (2 scoops) contains 25g protein and 150 calories, bringing my daily smoothie in at 33g protein, 8g fibre and 320 calories. Not bad eh? Are there cheaper whey protein powders out there? Yes, but if its a natural flavour and quality youre after, Naked Nutrition Vanilla Whey Protein Powder is definitely worth considering.
