Designer Whey Protein Giveaway

My husband and I are polar opposites in a lot of ways.  You could say I'm Type A (I know, big shock) and he's Type B.

But we have one very important thing in common (well it's not the only thing but it's important)...our health.  We met at the gym and we go back to that same gym almost every day.  When we come home, we both reach for the same thing...protein.  We both know that it's so important to feed your body after a workout.  We know that protein helps speed up recovery and cuts down on the soreness.  But we can't agree on which flavor.  I LOVE fruit flavors and he loves the chocolate and vanilla.  Our cabinet looks like a warehouse.

You may recall that Designer Whey is having a Summer Shape Up Challenge and you MAY recall that yours truly is a featured guest trainer in the program.  I hinted that I might have a surprise for you and I wasn't kidding. 


Designer Whey sent me some protein to try and the best part is, they sent enough to share (and not just with my husband)!  I got some of their newest product..Protein2Go and some Protein Bars

First thing I did was through a bar and a packet of protein in my purse.  If you're anything like me, half the time you're on the go and my biggest pet peeve with most protein shakes is that you basically have to have a blender to make them smooth enough to drink. 

Then I pulled another one out to do some tasting.  I tried the bar first and I seriously couldn't believe it!  Most protein bars I seem to find feel like a brick and taste like one too.  This bar was, dare I say it, almost airy.  It was not heavy or hard to eat.  I could very easily eat these all the time.  I was full afterwards and actually I still am, 2 hours later.  That for me is a huge bonus.

Then it was time to try the Protein2Go.  The directions say: just add to a bottle of water and shake.  I was a little skeptical.  Most times all the protein falls to the bottom and you have to re shake and guzzle just to get it consumed.  I chose the lemonade flavor first and I was shocked.  This tastes so good, I could just drink it whereas with most protein shakes, I just get it down (sort of like medicine).  It has a light flavor and mixed very well with water.  I had a bottle of water that had been pretty cold and it was pretty delightful. 

One of the best things about Designer Whey is that you can get it just about anywhere.  You don't have to order online or go to a specialty store.  My local grocery store sells it, which means that I have easy access!  You can be sure next month when Hood to Coast comes around, I'll be packing the majority of my protein packets for my runs. 

So, you want some?  I thought so!

I'll announce the winner next Saturday, July 28th.  Here's how you can enter:

  21. Easy and quick protein that I don't have to make a smoothie out of so I can drink it. I have a hard time drinking straight whey vanilla and chocolate protein mixed with just water I have to doctor it up a bit, but these look like something I will just be able to mix and drink!!!
    Yummy!

    Fruit flavors that taste good?!?! Single serve packets for on the go. You are SO speaking my language!
