GOLDEN NUGGETS OF PLANT-BASED WISDOM

There are several reasons the golden yellow pea was chosen to be the single-origin protein source for Blessed Protein. The main one being it’s superior amino acid profile. This means there is no need to try to blend multiple protein sources together, which can go hand in hand with a clumpy, gritty feeling in your mouth. Blessed has a very smooth, creamy texture without the chalkiness most people expect from a plant-based protein, this is also a result of the way the pea is sprouted and the technology used to extract the protein from the pea itself.

Pea protein is also free from all common allergens and it is easily digested. What is surprising is the number of athletes and customers that aren’t even plant-based who have converted to Blessed as it just feels so much better to their bodies. They know that there is plenty of evidence to support the fact that our bodies are capable of making the same progress when it comes to strength and muscle growth, regardless of whether the protein source is animal or plant-based.

No matter what your goals, beliefs, dietary needs or habits, we can all afford to increase plant-based protein sources in our everyday lives. And this is where Blessed is ideal.

When it comes to muscle growth, repair and maintenance, we know that it is beneficial to get several serves of protein across the day, rather than eating it in one sitting. This will ensure you’re feeling full, supporting your body’s protein needs and minimizing muscle catabolism (or breakdown).

There are so many ways you can use Blessed to ensure you meet your daily protein needs as well as reach your goals, whatever they may be. It is a great meal replacement and post-workout shake, you can even use Blessed to boost your protein intake at breakfast.

Many people struggle to get a good serve of protein into their breakfasts. But it is so easy to just add a scoop of Blessed to your oatmeal, overnight oats or muesli. You can make a Blessed salted caramel smoothie in the morning- you just through a scoop of Blessed, almond milk, ice, frozen banana or berries, a handful of spinach or kale and whatever other fruit or veggies you have in the kitchen into the blender and voila! If you have a little more time on your hands, you need to try the Blessed vegan pancakes, and they are always a hit!

Most people will use Blessed post-workout because it’s delicious with just water so is super convenient. This way you can make sure you are quickly replenishing your body’s protein stores to get the jump on your recovery. Blessed is also rich in the BCAA leucine, which is a driver of muscle protein synthesis.

There are so many of us out there trying to get ahead of the game these days. We lead demanding lives, that include intense training sessions, high-pressure workdays, and fully loaded family and social lives. If we want to be the best version of ourselves and get the most out of our days, your nutrition needs to be a priority. Supplementing your protein intake with Blessed is a super quick way to get high-quality nutrients into your body if I don’t have time to be on top of my meals. A high-quality protein supplement like Blessed allows you to ensure you’re getting enough protein to support your busy life, training demands, and recovery needs, as well as to ensure you’re feeling satisfied with your meals and snacks.
