In a review of protein supplements and accessories, several products are highlighted for consideration.
The Sakara Protein + Greens Super Powder offers 17 grams of plant-based protein per serving, sourced from pea, hemp, and pumpkin proteins. It features a blend of super greens including spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella.
Ghost Whey Protein Powder is noted for its dessert-like flavors such as Oreo, Cinnabon, and Chips Ahoy!, offering 26 grams of protein per serving. However, it includes ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup and titanium dioxide, banned as a food additive in Europe.
Wavelength Vanilla Protein Powder delivers 20 grams of pea protein per serving and includes adaptogens and nootropics, although the specific quantities are undisclosed. Its earthy flavor lends itself more to baking than drinking.
Aloha’s 12 oz Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Drink offers a creamy taste with a slight aftertaste, with each serving providing 20 grams of plant-based protein. Vanilla and coconut flavors are also available.
BSN True-Mass Weight Gainer contains 1,200 calories, 50 grams of protein, and 215 grams of carbohydrates per serving. It includes a mix of fast and slow-digesting proteins but contains artificial sweeteners and other additives that could be problematic for sensitive stomachs.
In terms of accessories, the Beast Mega 1200 blender is recommended for its powerful 1,200-watt motor and user-friendly design, while the Vitamix Ascent X5 offers extensive preset programs and a self-cleaning mode, making it a versatile choice despite its cost.
Lastly, the Ninja Blast Portable Blender provides an affordable and convenient option with USB-C charging, suitable for single servings of smoothies using Greek yogurt, milk, and frozen fruits. Adrienne So has used it daily without issues, demonstrating its reliability.
