Back in the day, I was a protein powder fiend.
4 to 6 scoops was the norm, and I went through the stuff like the secret of life was at the bottom of those tubs.
And the worst part (aside from going BFP – broke from powder) was that I didn’t even like the taste after awhile. I drank it as fast as possible before my brain realized what sick things I was putting into my body and sent the eject signal to my stomach.
Long story short: low quality protein powder that tastes like dragon butt sucks, and I love y’all too much to not show you an alternative – high quality protein powder that tastes like hope, dreams, sunshine…and Cinnabons.
Enter Trutein.
If I told you how many times I’ve had the urge to stick several cinnamon rolls into the blender and create the world’s most delicious shake, you all would pool your resources to buy a spaceship and send me far away from normal people like yourselves, but now thanks to Trutein I can stay here on Earth and write fitness stuff – win!
Here’s what I like about it:
1) Taste – seriously…it tastes like a liquid cinnamon roll. A LIQUID CINNAMON ROLL! I can quit life now.
2) Triple protein blend – casein (slower digesting), whey (faster digesting) and egg protein, making it a shake that you can have pre-workout, post-workout, breakfast, or post-sex if your sessions are that intense.
3) No proprietary blends – you know exactly how much of each protein source you’re getting.
4) Price – you get all of the above awesomeness for a low price, which says a lot with protein powders constantly jumping in price. Here is the best price I’ve found on the net and where I ended up ordering from as well: http://www.bestpricenutrition.com/trunutrition-sciences.html
