As you may or may not know, I recently started the Your Super Fitness Bundle. It includes Energy Bomb, Skinny Protein and Muscle Power superfoods. I am always a bit skeptical trying new proteins so I was nervous, but excited going into it!
When I initially started researching Your Super, I knew it was something I really wanted to try out. Protein for one, is such an important part of my diet and after recent research, I have found how important it is for not only muscle regrowth, but overall body health. I wanted to try the Your Super line specifically because of it being one of the few brands that is 100% transparent in what is in their products. I have found so many things in general contain things I can't even pronounce! Your Super products are certified organic, non GMO, gluten free, 100% plant based, no additives, dairy free, soy free, and contain no sweeteners. AND for every mix sold, they donate one packet of life-saving food to children suffering from severe acute malnutrition through a partnership with Action Against Hunger.
A huge deciding factor for me in partnering with Your Super, was reading about how their superfood powders are harvested and created. All of the ingredients are tested by third party labs to ensure they are of the highest quality.
The process is as follows:
1. Ingredients are sourced by local farmers
2. Everything is grown 100% certified organic and GMO free
3. All products are harvested with sustainability and love
4. Then they are tested right away for heavy metals, pesticides and microbiology
5. Next, it is naturally dried or freeze dried to preserve nutrients
6. And then, all ingredients are milled softly into powders before being sent to Your Super
7. They are all 3rd party lab tested to ensure quality
8. Powders are then mixed together then filled into recyclable cans
Since you are likely reading this because you follow me, you know that I had a hip replacement in April and was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disease, Hoshimoto's. A key factor in all of this is regulating what I put into my body. Your Super checked off everything I was looking for in a superfood addition to my diet.
Now that you know why I picked Your Super, let me tell you about how the superfoods I tried, worked for me. I am not one to go out of my way to get my nutrients. I don't come up with super cool recipes or bake cookies with protein in them. I mixed mine in smoothies and almond/coconut milk. I am not sure why I prefer this, but I do. I love coconut/almond milk for my on the go mixes. All 3 (Energy Bomb, Skinny Protein and Muscle Power) mixed so well these ways which was a huge win for me.
The one I noticed right away was Energy Bomb. It gave me the boost I needed to get through the day without a crash or jitters. I tend to be super sensitive to any type of energy drinks so I always get nervous trying anything that reads energy. Energy Bomb contains only 5 ingredients - Acai, Guarana, Maca, Lucuma and Banana Powder. I absolutely love it!
With Muscle Power and Skinny Protein, it took a bit of time to completely feel it working. Within a week, I felt a pretty big difference in the way I was feeling. Sore post workout muscles were not sore as long, healing in my hip was definitely feeling much better. My overall feeling of well being started changing.
Skinny Protein contains 5 ingredients, 2 protons and 3 green superfoods - Hemp Protein, Pea Protein, Moringa, Spirulina and Alfalfa. It contains all essential amino acids and only 1.4 carbs per serving! What is not to love?
Let me tell you a bit about the Muscle Power. It contains 2 proteins and 3 energizing superfoods (no sweeteners). This is perfectly formulated to help build lean muscles. The superfoods contain Vitamin C, B6, Iron, Niacin and Copper as well as all essential amino acids.
I am now almost a month in and am actually able to work out daily without being sore in my hip for a few days. I am feeling GOOD! You guys, it has been MONTHS since I have felt good. Months since I felt like a normal person. I have healthy energy, healthy body healing and am happier in all because of this! I am so pleased with the Your Super Fitness Bundle, I absolutely plan on trying the other superfood options! Next on my list is the Super Green Mix and Forever Beautiful Mix.
Tell me which one you want to try! Tag me on Instagram when you do!
