https://a.co/d/03SAF4wI I used naked protein( casein) , I love it . Works well . I cook with it all the time ( just mix with milk or water to smooth it out sometimes it can clump depending on what you’re adding it to) I add to Mac and cheese . I bake with it , muffins, cookies. Check it out buy a small container see how you digest
I've gone through all the protein shakes. They don't really cut it in terms of 3rd party testing, heavy metals etc. Vegan protein powders have similar weaknesses, aren't great for digestion for many people, and deliver less protein per calorie. I try to make sure I have proteins in lunch and dinner specifically. That tends to be chicken dominant with fish a close second, but also includes beef and lamb less often. I keep jerky around for some snack top ups but I use that less and less. Protein rich soups, dinner leftovers, tuna, etc make up a lot of my lunches. After I work out or on days I don't lift then after I run (so every day), I have a whey isolate and creatine shake in unsweetened almond milk. I use Transparent Labs whey isolate and Thorne creatine. Before bed I have a second almond milk shake with Naked casein. That's 5 to 7 days a week depending on how much protein I've had that day. I typically land around 150 grams of protein a day give or take. I never go below 145 but I sometimes end up as high as 165. I weigh about 145 lbs but fluctuate up a couple here and there and I'm actively working on gaining lean mass. I load up on fruit out of preference so my meal deliberateness and shake practice has landed me in a really healthy spot and, this may sound out there for people in the weight loss phase, but I need more calories not less. I'm titrating down to stimulate more calorie intake alongside regular excersize doing that on its own.
Unflavored Transparent Labs grass-fed whey isolate and almond milk. For occasional overnight protein, unflavored Naked casein. More like a pudding than a shake. A little Greek yogurt, honey, and almond milk.
It got me to my protein goal just yesterday!
Optimum Nutrition whey. Momentous Whey. Naked Nutrition Naked Casein.
I use Naked whey and Naked casein protein powders - unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. The unsweetened I use to blend with berries & kefir, the vanilla and chocolate with ice and unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) almond milk. They use a small amount of coconut sugar and either cocoa or vanilla, in addition to the protein. That's it. Very clean, lightly sweet & no artificial taste.
I use “naked casein”. I know they only tested the vegan supplement but the fact that it was so high and lead makes me nervous about using their casein supplement now…
Yeah. I just opened a new tub this week so not really interested in dumping $50 in the trash. But I’m going to consider switching to a different brand when I’m done with this one
Are you talking about Ora? I have had success with naked nutrition cookies and cream, flav city chocolate PB. The cookies and cream was discontinued apparently but I have vanilla in my freezer which I’ll be trying tonight. So far satisfied with baked nutrition- my 5 year old has stolen mine and doesn’t know any different. The ora, she would not eat 😂
