Day 13/30

I received a question the other day about protein supplementation so I thought it would be best to address that here as well!


We do want to get as much as our nutrition as possible from whole food sources but sometimes that can be challenging, especially if you’re in a pinch or just want to follow a high protein diet. Protein powders and supplements are great additions to the diet, but you just want to make sure the ingredients are clean and that there aren’t a lot of unnecessary ingredients.


There are many different kinds to choose from such as a vegan protein, whey or pea/plant based. Everyone is sensitive to different things so I would slowly incorporate one into your diet to see how it goes for you. Bloating & upset stomach can be a common side effect of some whey powders but if it doesn’t bother you, whey is a fine option!


Just like many products, protein powders often can have added sugars so just be cautious of that as well! A good powder should have at least 20g of protein for 120-160 calories, many have up to 30 grams.


There are SO many great uses for protein powder including but not limited to; adding to yogurt, coffee, milk, smoothies, baked goods, dips & spreads, etc!


A few good brands include; orgain, palleo valley, legion, truvani, clean simple eats, dymatize, gold standard, 1up nutrition. Just because I didn’t like one doesn’t mean it’s not good, there’s just so many!


Whats your favorite protein powder or most common use if you incorporate it in your diet? 👇

I love adding protein powder to cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for a nice little treat with berries! Everyday I add protein powder to my overnight oats with cottage cheese and love it!
