Good morning!
I am currently sitting here freezing my butt off! The weather last week was in the 80′s, and this week it is cold again! I know it is still March and can snow at this point still, but I was loving the temps last week. Freezing or warm, I am just happy to be alive!
I think my smoothie breakfast made me extra cold, but it was worth it!
I am currently out of sunwarrior which is very sad but I was out at the right time, I had a new protein powder coming my way to try. I am a FitFluential Ambassador and opted in on the opportunity to try this protein powder by prosource.
NytroWhey vanilla is the protein powder I received, I had options for the flavor but figured vanilla would be the best for me. I always can add cocoa to it if I am feeling like chocolate 
This powder was awesome in my smoothie combo I had today, I liked the flavor and I like the texture of the powder! Not chalky at all, I hate chalky powders!
Banana Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie
-1 scoop of NytroWhey vanilla
-cup of ice
-half frozen banana
- 5 oz almond milk
-1.5 tbsp PB crave co co bananas peanut butter
- 1 packet of stevia
I topped it with some natures path love raspberry and dark chocolate granola, but used the chocolate pieces and just granola. I need the Aloha Blend love crunch next!
This smoothie was out of this world, the protein powder gave it a great taste and so did this….
You really need to put this in a banana style smoothie, SO SO SO good!
I am glad I have a new protein powder in my pantry to have for a switch up from my regular love sunwarrior
Have a great day friends and make it great no matter what comes your way!
Katie xoxo

What is YOUR favorite protein powder?
How often do you use protein powder? Daily, couple times a week, or never?
( The review of NytroWhey is my opinion and I was sent this protein as part of the fitfluential ambassador program )

This weather is so crazy! I love how warm it’s been, but I actually had to bring out my down jacket again yesterday.
I use Sun Warrior and really like it!
I know it has been!
I love sunwarrior, my #1 !
Right now, I’m loving my Dymatize Elite Casein protein in Cookies N Cream. My house is full of protein powders! We have the Dymatize, Myofusion Probiotic, Syntrax Matrix, and About Time. I swear we could open up a supplement shop at home.
Now, that I’m working again, I rely on my protein powders more. I also really love to make frozen cookie dough at night with the casein
This weather has been crazy! I’m kind of liking that it’s cold. I get to wear my uggs again
I have never tried protein powder but I was thinking about it. With all of my health issues lately, I was thinking putting protein powder in a smoothie might be the way to go.
That smoothie sounds great! Is it really peanut buttery? I am liking the MRM 100% Whey I bought recently. I’m not a huge stevia fan, but I like that it’s a relatively all-natural protein powder.
Yes it was! The coco banana pb gave it a good kick!!!
I have never heard of MRM! I will have to look into that
My favorite used to be Designer Whey, but I won some MRM in a giveaway from Janetha and it’s pretty good, too!
Yay for winning some! I know MRM is supposed to be good, glad to hear you liked it and it was free!!!!
good to know! i’m on the hunt for a new protein powder haha
I love Vega protein powder, I just bought Sun Warrior for the fist time and find it has a weird texture compared to Vega and other protein powders, but I know everyone loves it so maybe its just me?
I think I use it daily somehow, protein pancakes, smoothies, shakes, oatmeal… yup, daily! haha
It’s maybe an acquired taste
I have heard lots of people love vega! I tried a sample pack once and it was good
I bought the variety pack of those 3 pb’s and they are SOOOO yummy!! I keep wanting to try them in something but somehow… they only keep ending up on my spoon! lol!
Haha! Hard not to just eat of the jar instead of putting it in something or on something!
One of my fave’s is Click… It’s protein powder w/espresso. I really love it pre-workout or in oats. I use Vega for smoothies and baking though.
…and I try to have it everyday!!
I have seen click but never tried it!
Definitely missing my sunwarrior too but this stuff looks good ! I’ll take your word for it ;D
Me too!!! Yes it is good stuff
That protein powder sounds great! I’ll have to check it out.
It was good! Happy Tuesday girl!
I really would like to try Sun Warrior – I’ve heard so many good things (mostly from you
). But I’m a Jillian Michaels (chocolate) fan … so freakin’ delicious!
YES! I am a sunwarrior addict
Good to know that brand is good!
Holy smokes, I have got to find the Coco PB, sounds awesome!!! I’m cheap and just use Target Vanilla Whey Protein or whatever is on sale.
It is awesome and made that smoothie fantastic!!
I use Protein Powder maybe 3-4 times weekly ? I use it mainly in my breakfast if I am making oatmeal and need an extra protein boost! Or in smoothies after my (at the moment very rare
) workouts since I know that getting in quality protein and carbs are vital for muscle repair and growth and for general recovery!
I have Sunwarrior and Sunwarrior Blend. I like Sunwarrior but find it a bit too sweet… not a stevia fan so yeah, that’s a little down point for me there. I am going to get the Biochem Whey in Natural (no sweeteners at all!) as a little switch-up protein.
I use mine in my oats the most too, I rarely make smoothies but when the weather gets nicer I do find myself having them more!
Biochem is good, I love the chocolate fudge!
The weather is getting nicer here, so maybe there’s smoothies around the corner
I will definetely have to test out the Biochem!!
I hear you on the weather. I’m in Maine-last week, we hit the 80′s 2 days in a row which is unheard of in March. This morning it was 20! I’m freezing! But, it will continue to warm up and I guess it’s better to “ease into it” (at least that is what I’m telling myself LOL!).
My favorite protein powder is Tera’s Whey Bourbon Vanilla…YUM!
YES! Same exact weather here! Cray cray!!
I like Teras Whey, I have had that flavor, the berry one and the chocolate one!
Good morning, love!! I’ve been all about whey smoothies lately…I bought MRM Whey a few weeks ago because it was on sale (and recommended by fitness goddess Jamie Eason), and I LOVE it! It’s super creamy, and I’m already for than 2/3 way through the container. Next time I’ll have to try Mytro Whey.
And I need to get my hands on PB Crave too! 
Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday! Love you! xoxo
MORNING love!!!!
I have heard now from 3 people that the MRM is good! I will have to try it sometime!
LOVE YOU!! Have a great day too! Your mom is there right?!
That looks awesome! I have lots of protein powder in my house. Currently four different varieties, just for me! Haha
The weather is crazy in London too. We’ve been here for four weeks now and it’s only rained once. For a city famous for rain, that’s pretty pathetic! But I’m very happy about it
Protein powder hoarder huh?
Crazy it has not rained much then, seriously though the weather around the world has been crazy!
every day i have 1/2 serving of manitoba harvest hemp protein powder. i either use vanilla extract, cocoa powder or fresh mint leaves for flavor
i only take 1/2 serving bc i get fish or animal protein for lunch and dinner ~3-6oz each meal so i don’t need to overcompensate with the powders too much 
it’s just a quick way for me to get some more cals in 
I love the sounds of your smoothie, sounds so good! The fresh mint leaves, great idea!
It’s a sin to be out of Sunwarrior. I’m not a huge fan of the Warrior blend, it actually makes me gag a little bit. I use powder everyday mostly because I love the taste haha and the nutritional value
It is a damn sin, I’m living in sin over here :p
Vega One is my favorite! Chocolate + Vanilla Chai! I just recently bought SunWarrior Warrior Blend and I didn’t find myself liking it as much as I thought I would… Maybe I’ll try their original blend next time! Protein powder makes a daily appearance in my life – especially in yummy smoothies!
I have tried VegaOne before and it is good! I just love my sunwarrior so much, hard to buy anything else!
YUM!!! I love WHEY its the only protein so far to lean me out and build up my muscles….oh boy, you know my answer!! My fav protein is my Vi-Shape Shakes…Shake mix that tastes like CAKE mix!!
I make everything with it and it burns fat and increases muscles. In.Love.
You make me smile girl!
xxoo
I go through protein powder phases! I’ll use it every day for a few weeks and then I won’t touch it for a week or two. haha I’m weird. But right now, I’m loving both Sun Warrior and Vega!
Have a great day girl!! Love u <3
The weather has been chilly here in Toronto too. We were spoiled last week.
I LOVE smoothies! They are a quick and easy breakfast that provide lots of nutrients. I’m currently using a vega shake & go mix. You have the option to add water and shake but I prefer to add yogurt and fruit and mix in blender
I’ve been hearing so much about sunwarrior protein. I will have to look into that one. What is your favourite flavour in sunwarrior powder?
As always, love your blog and look forward to your updates. Have a great day love
Hi Kelly!
I hope it starts feeling like spring there again this week!
I love the natural vanilla sunwarrior, it is my favorite!!!
Thank you SO much
that sweet ending of words made my day!
Yummy looking smoothie! I went green smoothie for breakfast myself.
Green smoothies always a win!
My favorite protein powder is Muscle Milk Light. I use it a couple times a week before or after strength training.
I love the EAS brand of protein the best. I’ve literally tried almost every brand out there, haha.
You were in my dream last night doing a commercial about sushi and broccoli
My sister Gina loves that brand too
Omg, lol! I wish that was real life, that would be awesome because sushi I love
Without a doubt, my favorite protein powder is Syntrax’s Nectar Whey…just don’t ask me what flavor is my favorite because there are TOO many to decide! Mmmm! Love it! I usually use it at least once a day…adding it to my oats, pancakes, or smoothies for breakfast or having it right after a workout as a recovery aide.
I just tried the Coco Bananas today with some French toast…I couldn’t believe how prominent the banana flavor was! I’ll definitely be trying it in a smoothie in the near future!
