I’ve never been into protein shakes much or any sort of workout supplements of any kind. I’m a firm believer in getting the nutrients and energy my body needs from eating whole foods. I make juices and smoothies weekly, but I rarely add protein powder. Truth be told, I don’t trust most of the products on the market. There are so many supplements out there that claim they’re healthy, but in reality they’re loaded with a bunch of GMO’s, chemicals and unhealthy ingredients. This is where reading labels and my past nutrition courses come in handy.
In February, Sunwarrior, an all natural company committed to providing the best raw plant-based protein powders, contacted me to do a product review. I’ll be honest, I was skeptical at first. I emailed back and forth asking questions, I did a bunch research on my own and I also asked a trusted friend who is very knowledgeable in the health and fitness industry about the products. I also discovered Whole Foods and my strength and conditioning center sell Sunwarrior, which made me much more comfortable in giving the products a try, and finally committing to the review.
What is Sunwarrior?
- Great-tasting, raw, plant-based proteins that are perfect for muscle-building, weight-loss, recovery, and more.
- Superfood supplements like greens, whole food vitamins, and liquid minerals.
- Always free of GMOs, chemicals, acids, solvents, dairy, gluten, or anything artificial.
- Silky smooth and delicious additions that enhance your smoothies and your life with nothing to slow you down!
My starter kit came with the following:
- Warrior Blend Protein (Chocolate and Vanilla)
- Classic Protein (Chocolate and Vanilla)
- Supergreens (Natural and Peppermint)
- Liquid Light
- Activated Barley
- Vitamin Mineral Rush
- Blender Bottle
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the protein shake. In fact, it’s by far the best tasting most natural protein powder I have ever tried. I immediately wrote back letting my point of contact know that I absolutely loved the product, and that they could expect a glowing review. So – here’s my review! I love love love Sunwarrior! I never in my life thought I’d say that about a protein powder, ever, but I do! I love it so much that cannot wait to get my hands on more.
Here is my favorite recipe for a protein shake so far!
• 1 medium frozen banana
• 1 cup of organic coconut milk
• 1 packet (or 1 scoop) of Sunwarrior Classic Chocolate Protein
• 1 Tbsp of all natural peanut butter
• 1 tbsp of flax chia blend
• 1/2 cup of ice
Blend until smooth and enjoy!
Now for the moment of truth, would I buy and use Sunwarrior again? 100% absolutely YES! Here’s the thing, I get contacted weekly to conduct product reviews by supplement companies, and I pretty much turn each one of them down. It takes a damn good, honest to good company to get me to agree to put their products into my body and trust that it’s healthy. Not only did I love the taste of Sunwarrior, but I love even more that everything is free of GMO’s, chemicals and made with the best all natural ingredients. This is definitely a product that I would recommend and definitely a product that I will in fact use again.
