Get NAKED With Whey Protein!

Naked Nutrition are a company I turn to for many different supplements. I love their collagen powder and Jimmy gets a real boost when he uses their Kid’s Daily Essentials, something he did for the first time around a year ago after having to have a very big operation and losing a lot of weight.

They make lots of different supplements for the whole family and whether it’s energy you’re looking for, or chasing some fresher skin, healthier hair, or aiding a new diet and exercise plan, Naked Nutrition have you covered. And what I really like about them is how ethical they are in terms of transparency. They don’t “allude” to something being a certain way, if a product can offer a benefit, they will tell you so. If it can’t, then it won’t. I’ve never felt let down by any of the things we have tried in the past, have become a regular customer myself after working with them, and it’s that trust that gifts me the knowledge that I can 100% recommend them to you guys too!

They’ve just launched a platform selling directly here in the UK (hurrah)! And to celebrate they’ve sent me some of their grass fed, whey protein powder. Protein powders are used as a supplement to combine with exercise and improve performance all round. Depending on how you exercise and what your motivations are, you can manipulate the use of protein powders to:

1. Improving recovery after exercise, especially weight training.
2. Increasing muscle mass when combined with consistent weight training.
3. Boosting overall health and immunity during endurance training.
4. Aiding weight loss and helping tone muscles.
5. Preventing muscle tissue loss in older adults.
6. Assisting with wound healing after trauma, burns, or surgery.

There are many more benefits besides too, and I strongly suggest reading up on how to use it, especially if you are wanting to maintain a healthy weight, lose weight/or gain it, and add a positive addition to an already healthy lifestyle. But… The real question is how to you take it if it’s a powder?

Well… I like to have mine in protein pancakes – Naked Nutrition sell flavoured versions so that you can make yourself a shake but I simply prefer a flavourless version, then I can add it to anything I like, be it drink, or food! The pancakes are my favourite thing to make and this is how I create mine!

To make 6 medium sized pancakes you will need:

1. 100g of self raising flour
2. 1 medium egg
3. 1 medium banana
4. A handful of blueberries
5. 3ooml of milk (whichever milk you prefer)
6. A teaspoon of coconut oil
7. a scoop and a half of Naked Nutrition’s Naked Whey

Method:

Heat the oil in a frying pan and then blend the rest of the ingredients (except the blueberries) in a Nutribullet. It will be thick, like a yogurt consistency, and then you need to spoon palm sized pancakes into the hot pan, add a few blueberries to each pancake and fry for 60 seconds, then flip them over for 30 seconds more before stacking them up!

I like to add a dollop of Greek or plain yogurt to mine, more berries and a drizzle of honey, what do you think?!
