Most mornings I exercise, get some sun in my eyes, and hug my loved ones. On the days that I exercise, I often turn to this protein shake to replenish and bolster my protein stores. The key to this is the protein power. I swear by North Coast Naturals – Unflavoured whey protein isolate because of its incredibly simple formulation. Only whey protein, lactase (to breakdown lactose), sunflower lecithin (to prevent clumping), and probiotics (a genius addition). I highly recommend unflavoured because the vanilla and chocolate flavourings come with stevia extract and I personally find stevia distasteful.
