High Protein Smoothie Bowl
I love a good protein smoothie post workout and this one is my latest concoction. It’s very quick to make and is loaded with essential nutrients - protein, carbs and healthy fats to help you recover after training.
Impact Whey Isolate Benefits
The majority of the protein in this smoothie is from the addition of MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate. Whey is the liquid left behind from milk being processed into yogurt and cheeses. It is basically fast digesting proteins and it’s used to make whey protein concentrate as well as Impact Whey Isolate.
Impact Whey Isolate has the higher protein content (90%) of the two and also has low sugar, less lactose and no fat content per serving. Plus, it contains essential amino acids like BCAAs (branch chain amino acids that naturally occur in protein) which helps with muscle maintenance and growth post workout.
When I first started training I used to use flavoured whey concentrate protein powders but found most of them tasted pretty artificial and were loaded with sweeteners. Hubby recommended Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate (Unflavoured) to me a few years back and I’ve been using it ever since as you can create your own flavour by simply adding fruits like bananas, mangoes or berries or even dairy-free alternative milks like almond or cashew etc.
Also, if you are sensitive to dairy you might find Impact Whey Isolate upsets your stomach less than standard Whey Protein (at least that’s what I’ve found :) due to the lower lactose content). If you are thinking of trying out MyProtein you can get up to 35% off selected items including vitamins and supplements with the code AMBITION, this offer runs from 10.06.19 to 07.01.2020.
