Child approved review of Sneakz Organic Strawberry Protein

Last month I posted my review on Sneakz but today was the first time V has tried it. Was making my Orgain protein cookies n cream for dinner when she said mama mama want my own protein and brings me one of the smaller blender bottles that I got for smoothies and her. I asked her which do you want? We have Sneakz strawberry or Orgain cookies n cream. She looks and said this one mommy so strawberry was the winner!

We added just about maybe 2 oz of open nature almond milk vanilla unflavored and around 1/2 scoop of Sneakz strawberry protein to it. If you’d like to see her reaction you can see it on Instagram,.Vicki’s review on Sneakz strawberry protein

Poosh Blueberry and Lemon Collagen Vibes Review

A few months ago I gave Kourtney Kardashian’s Poosh Vital Proteins X Poosh Blueberry and Lemon Collagen Vibes a try.Since I’ve been using it which I started daily then as I tried other brands which are more reasonably priced I started using it less frequently still I use several data a week. Anyway it’s very flavorful with just a tinge of lemony flavor. Usually I just mix it up in water in my blender bottle which I normally make the previous night so after I exercise and get my daughter up for breakfast I just take it from the refrigerator,get our breakfast and eat.

What I’ve noticed since taking collagen of various brands really is that my toe nails don’t grow as fast or as thick so when I trim it it’s much easier because it doesn’t grow so thick that it breaks which also made it difficult to maintain trimmings. Collagen also helps with skin elasticity and hair growth.

If you look at the Poosh site you’ll also see they have the pink moon collagen which is used before bed because it has melatonin in it. For me I also like it but for me it’s a pain to make because the powder doesn’t mix in just regular water. It needs to be warm so for me it would look something like this:

1) Get blender bottle,blender ball

2) Get a cup and fill it with water

3) place in microwave for 30 seconds and take out

4)Place warm microwaved water in blender bottle then proceed to fill it with more water to place in the microwave for 30 seconds

5) Take out and place in blender bottle

6) Get the collagen and place 1-2 scoops depending on the day and my calorie count/exercise regimen in the blender bottle then shake it up

7) Wait for 15-30 minutes to make sure it mixes well then place in the refrigerator

Also when you look for high quality collagen be sure it’s organic grass fed bovine peptides. As time goes on I might try other types of collagen like chicken or marine. If and when I do I’ll be sure to post a review on it. If you are new to learning about collagen here’s some good reads to start:

Kite Hill Cashew Cream

Have you ever tried Cashew cream cheese instead of the regular cream cheese? I’ve never tried until I made Black Beans Sweet Potatoes Flauta which I’ve adapted to my liking. My version of the recipe doesn’t include tortillas or placing it in the oven. I’ll post my version later but when you mix it in wow it tastes so much better than with cream cheese! Their yogurts are also delicious.

Orgain

Orgain is a whey/vegan friendly company made by a physician. So far I have tried a few of their products with plans on trying others minus the whey based products and I’ll tell you why later in the post.

I’ve tried the Vanilla protein powder which is one of my favorites so far by the company. It does have stevia but no aftertaste or digestive issues. I look for products that don’t have maltodextrin , whey in it mostly. Some of my favorite sweeteners are xylitol,stevia,cane sugar,brown rice syrup (providing its organic) and monk fruit. Other protein powders I’ve tried are peanut butter which admittedly I don’t like even though I love peanut butter. The flavor to me wasn’t peanutty. Next up for protein powder is Cookie n cream which my daughter picked out for me/us to try.

My daughter also loves the kids chocolate brownie protein bar which so far is the only one she’s tried but I’ll be ordering a new batch and different flavor soon.! I’ve tried the chocolate chip cookie dough protein bar which is absolutely delicious. Coating of the bar is thick just like cookies n cream and every bite is savory! You must try it if you don’t believe me!

Why I don’t buy whey protein powder is that whey is harder to digest vs plant based protein such as pea protein. I also avoid soy which has phytoestrogens and could cause hormone imbalance in my daughter and I ‘s genetic epilepsy. However my girl is a stickler for tofu and miso soup.

Forager Project Coconut Cashew Milk Review

I’ve never seen this brand locally before so I thought I’d give it a try. I tried it this morning- 1 cup of forager project coconut cashew milk and 1 scoop of Sneakz strawberry protein and let me tell you the outcome! It tasted absolutely terrible!! I can’t imagine what it tastes like alone but I will never buy this brand of cashew milk again. If you’re brave enough to try it let me know what YOU think of it!!

I’ll be posting some other reviews of things that’s helped me along the way later. I’ll also include the recipes I’ve used but I always adapt from the original recipe and yes it’ll include the link to the original author who wrote the recipe.

Sneakz Strawberry Protein Powder

I found out about Sneakz through Instagram. The company seems pretty new not more than 5 years old and as I try to look for vegan based food and health supplements I thought I’d check out their site. It’s not completely vegan but there are vegan/plant based products on there and usually there’s two to three different flavors including the typical various flavors like strawberry,vanilla and chocolate. The first thing I can tell you are two things to not put it in water and to not refrigerate it for several hours. Place it in milk either plant based or whey based and consume immediately. I got the strawberry flavor and it really is delicious. Other pros about Sneakz is that it provides you with veggies and fruits.Sneakz Organic
