Hands up if you like milk shake? What about a shake that helps aid recovery as well as supporting weightloss and promoting lean muscle development?!
Protein shakes are becoming a staple in most people's gym routines, I adore getting home and having an ice cold shake! I used to buy Maxitone but its just so damn expensive (£25 for 14 servings!), plus you only get the choice of 3 flavours, so I went on the hunt for more choice at a lower price.
The Protein Works have produced what I need! They have a range of different products, from shakes to pre-workout supplements and everything in between. I picked up the Diet Whey protein as it contains caffeine & green tea as well as a huge chunk of protein.
The Diet way comes in 8 flavours, currently I have the strawberrys'n cream flavour which is really yummy. I picked up the 1kg bag, which comes with a scoop to help measure out.
The packaging is good as its a ziplock bag so doesn't take up the space of a tub, but it keeps it fresh for ages.
I mix 1 scoop (it advises 2 but I find it a tad chalky) with 350ml of skimmed or 1% milk and shake until smooth. It tastes really good, plus I'm getting a good dose of calcium as well.
I paid £19.99 for 1kg, which is good because that's 18 serving if you do the two scoops, but one scoop stretches it out further! I've seen great result since starting this 4 weeks ago, my recovery time is shorter, I notice more definition on my things and lower legs plus it tastes really good.
If you fancy giving this, or the other flavours a try then head over to The Protein Works - when you register use my referral code - SM6476 to get a free 250g bag when you spend £10.
As an extra, if you fancy stocking up then the products, then get 5% off when you spend £50 - click through here!
For now I'm going to go and mix a shake - need to or I can't walk! Do you use a protein shake? What's your favourite flavour?
Yum! I just had a chocolate protein shake with fresh strawberries, and cottage cheese to make it thick and creamy (plus give it extra protein!) 250 calories and 41 grams of protein!
ReplyDeleteI love protein shakes!!

Without a doubt PHD diet whey. Its incredibly high quality whey with CLA's and green tea extract. I take it with extreme nutrition glutamine complex which I find absolutely paramount to my workout - have a Google and see what you think, I take 5 post workout and never have to sit a day out at the gym due to doms! :)
