Dedicated Woman

Now that I'm starting the SCD there are few things that are going to be difficult to give up. This protein shake is one of them. Buy whey is 70% lactose and chocolate is of the list, so once I finish the bottle I have now I'll have to try to go without. And you'll notice that I have two of these a day.

There's a little supplement store in our neighborhood and the Trainer has a good relationship with the owner. He always gets good deals and lots of free samples. So one day he was sent home with a few samples of Dedicated Woman protein powder for me.

Being me, I had to do a lot of research before I would even touch the stuff. Unable to find all the answers on the website I made a phone call and left a message.

The delightful woman who called me back was actually the president of the company. We had a chat and she explained to me that her husband is a well known former body builder, and is also the chemist who creates all the formulas. He has his own company, Extreme Labs, that caters to men, and her company, Dedicated Woman, deals in products specially formulated for women's nutritional needs. They manufacture all of their products in Las Vegas to ensure that they are pure and safe.

She herself has Crohn's Disease and all of their products are gluten free and safe for folk with other stomach issues. And the chocolate is flavored with Ghirardelli. Besides the nutrition: 125cal per serving with 2g of carbs and 27g protein, it just plain tastes great. I have to say, it is by far the best protein shake I've ever tasted, and I've tried quite a few.

I recommend this as great ore or post workout meal, as a quick breakfast or for whenever you need a protein boost. Until I use it up, I mix 1 scoop of Dedicated Woman with 1/2 scoop of Green Vibrance for my mid-morning and pre-workout meals.

Genisoy Soy Protein Shake

With such a busy schedule I used to find myself skipping meals. In an effort to avoid that I started looking for balanced, healthy protein drinks. The more I looked, the more powders I found that contained gluten. The first one that I found to be gluten free was this Genisoy Soy Protein Shake.

The chocolate flavor is still the best the shake I’ve found. It’s not too sweet and really does taste good, both with milk or water. It has 14g of soy protein per serving and is more filling than some others. And at about $13 it’s very economical. Genisoy is available in many small local stores as well as larger health food joints like Whole Foods.
