This week I ordered something I have heard a lot about recently mostly on Instagram, as many public figures from reality TV have been sponsoring the brand! If you haven't heard of Protein World I will tell you a little about the company - Protein World is a leading supplement range, 100% pure and GMA free to help you become leaner, fitter, healthier and stronger!
For a while I have seen loads of people using protein shakes and whey protein while they were training and working out, but never actually understood what it is and what it did?! I have been really concentrating on focus on toning my body, after losing a lot of weight with very little excersise I have left myself with excess skin in parts of my body. Above is The Weight-loss Collection I ordered for £62 - it came with multi vitamin tablets, fat melter capsules and whey protein.
I chose vanilla flavour protein powder but you can pick between chocolate, banana and strawberry! It also came with a really cute smoothie drinking bottle for my protein shakes on the go.
What is Protein? Protein is the body's building blocks for muscle and tissue.
What are the benefits of protein? During exercise or intense strength and resistance training muscles experience microscopic tearing and break down as they're stretched. The muscles fibre then protein and the amino acids it delivers to rebuild. Protein is also hugely beneficial for people who are looking to lose weight, the muscle tissue protein helps create is metabolically active and will - in short - help your body to burn calories at a higher rate. Protein can also satiates hunger because it is slower to digest than other food types as it slows down the release of the hormone ghrelin which stimulates appetite and encourages us to eat more. Protein lastly helps maintain keratin - the substance that looks after our hair, nails, joints and bones!
The user manual is really informative and has tons of smoothie recipes for you to get started. I am honestly so exited to experiment with this and give my best shot - keep an eye on my blog and also my YT channel (www.youtube.com/lovefromdanica) to stay updated on my process using Protein World.
Other very exciting news is today I bought a blender! (lol) it's seriously quite sad how hyper I was to go to Argos today and buy one of these but I have been eyeing them up for a while. I realised that when I bought my Protein World kit I would probably need one to make different smoothies. Note that this is not essential and you easily make simple shakes simply with the protein powder and milk or water by shaking it in your cup! However I am a big green smoothie fan and love experimenting with putting vegetables in my smoothies and having a detox! This guy is a Kenwood Smoothie 2GO, it's got 20% off at the minute in Argos and is only £19.99! I was so impressed, it is essentially the same concept a NutriBullet however I don't really have a spare £100 to spend on a blender at the minute unfortunately lol. I used it for the first time this evening to make myself a smoothie, I used 1 banana, a small handful of frozen raspberries, ice, handful of spinach and about 2 dashes of almond milk - whizzed it all up and very much enjoyed it :) I will probably add some more water or pure orange juice next time as it was quite thick to enjoy out of a bottle but other than I was really impressed. I forgot to add the almond milk initially so the blender wasn't able to blend it easily but after I added some liquid in it took about 30 seconds for it to start properly blending. All in all the blending process took about a couple of minutes just to make sure it was all smooth which I thought was good, as for cleaning I literally just rinsed the cup and blade under a warm tap and it came straight off. The one thing I would always recommend with smoothies is that you wash them straight after you have finished or else it can be a nightmare to scrub off dried fruit!
