I don’t know about you, but as I workout and stay consistent with keeping my body together, I like to take supplements that will help me with recovery and maintaining all the hard work that I have put in. I recently had the opportunity to try out Naked Nutrition protein. Naked Nutrition is known for their products having no added sugars, no artificial flavoring and the most raw and pure ingredients !!! Some of Naked Nutrition’s most popular products are the Naked Whey and Naked Creatine. They have a little something for everyone, and I love the amount of options that they have in their variety of protein powders. Personally for myself, whey protein is a little too heavy on my stomach. So, I was able to try out the Naked Pea protein in the Chocolate flavor. The other flavor options are: Unflavored, Vanilla, Chocolate PB and Double Chocolate. Pea protein is a great alternative for whey if you are someone who is looking for something similar in a more vegan or vegetarian route.

Here’s the description from the website about the naked pea protein in chocolate…

Chocolate Naked Pea has only three ingredients: cacao powder, coconut sugar, and pea protein extracted from yellow split peas grown on US and Canadian farms. Pea protein is easily absorbed by the body, making it an excellent plant-based alternative to whey protein.

Chocolate Naked Pea is free of additives and artificial sweeteners. We are committed to shortening the steps between our farms and you. Independent third-party tested for heavy metals.

I personally love that the protein has very simple ingredients and isn’t super sweet. When I make my protein smoothies, I will just add in honey, if I need a little sweetness. My favorite combo is banana, chocolate protein, almond milk, honey and of course ice. I every once in a while will add in a handful of spinach to add a little greenery.

A couple of great recipes that I found over on the Naked Nutrition site, that I think would be great to try with the naked pea protein…
