I have found a protein that makes me happy and that works really well. Garden of Life Raw Protein has completely helped transform my body as of lately and I have no intention of ever stopping it. My trainer first told me about Garden of Life. She says she has a protein shake from them a day. I went to Whole Foods once and bought a single packet to try and I really enjoyed it so I wrote to them and asked if I could try some more.
The mission of Garden of Life:
Empowering Extraordinary Health®
EMPOWER. Our products are designed to let you take control of your own health.
EXTRAORDINARY. We believe in premium nutrition that goes beyond the ordinary.
HEALTH. Your health is a gift, and extraordinary health is a goal worth pursuing—both for you and for your family.
And the Health Philosophy
As recognized by the United States Congress, there is a direct correlation between nutrition, exercise and health. Raw, whole food nutrition, from organically grown sources, is more beneficial for health than isolated nutrients. When coupled with exercise, a diet that includes the consumption of raw, live foods, particularly those containing probiotics, enzymes, and products of their fermentation, is the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.
I was blown away when I saw what they sent me:
I received Raw Protein, Raw Fit, and Raw Protein Energy. Raw Fit is by far my favorite.
I have this after I work out. This is high protein for weight loss. It's clinically studied to help you burn fat, maintain healthy blood sugar, boost your energy, lose weight, and feel great. I can tell you from experience, after taking this after working out with the trainer for the last 2 weeks, I can already notice a difference and so can she. I feel the fat in my stomach decreasing. I feel wonderful after I drink this shake. There are two flavors: The green coffee bean extract or the Marley Coffee. I'll be perfectly honest... I'm not a fan of the Marley Coffee... I tried twice and couldn't get it down. I gave it to my trainer instead and she's enjoying it. I do love the other one though. I only have a few left :/ .
I also got two meal substitutions: Chocolate and Vanilla. I drink these in the morning. For some reason I have a harder time getting enough protein in in the morning, so I drink one of these shakes and I have a piece of fruit with it. I feel fuller for long periods of time and they are quite tasty. I'm more of a vanilla fan than a chocolate fan, but they are both good. The other flavors are: Original, and Vanilla Spiced Chai. I can only imagine how good the Chai tastes!
Finally I received the Raw Protein Energy. This restores muscle, gives you energy and tastes good. I try to have three shakes a day. The morning meal (vanilla or chocolate), the Raw fit after I work out, and occasionally I'll have the raw energy when I feel like I need a boost.
Garden of Life also offers a variety of other products. Every time you click a new product, you can hear a description of it and why it's good for you. I think that's great since there is so much information on the page. There are so many products I'd like to try. It's a good thing that you can buy the products on amazon, the website, or even whole foods. If you're looking for a protein that does the job, Garden of Life might be for you. I'm so incredibly glad I've been given the chance to try it. It's been working quite well for me, and I'll continue to take it to help with maintaining my lifestyle.
