Favourite Protein Supplement: Dymatize Elite Whey Isolate | Personal Training Victoria BC
First of all, I would like to say that I’m not a huge fan of supplements. I would rather get everything that my body needs from eating food. However when it comes to getting enough protein in my day, I do take a protein supplement. A supplement can be a good source of protein when you’re short on time, travelling, or you’re just not getting enough protein from your food.
My favourite protein supplement company is Dymatize Elite! For a few different reasons….
1) Flavour
I have had several different protein supplements where I literally had to mentally prepare, hold my nose, and drink as fast as possible, while trying not to gag, because they smelled and tasted beyond awful:( Dymatize Elite has some of the best flavoured protein powders that I’ve ever had and I’m not alone. A quick Google search shows that many people are raving about the flavours of their supplements. You can just mix your protein in water and that’s good enough! There is no need to mix it in juice to try to hide the flavour! In addition to this, Popeye’s Supplements lets you taste the protein before you buy it, at least they do here in Victoria, BC. This way you don’t come home with a big tub of protein only to find out later that you don’t like it. My favourite flavours are: Cafe Mocha and Chocolate Mint (both are Dymatize Elite Whey Isolate).
2) Mixability
In addition to really terrible flavours, many protein supplements do not mix well. You can shake it for as long as you like, but you’re still going to have disgusting blobs of protein that you somehow have to choke back. NOT GOOD! I guess you could blend it and that might get rid of some of the chunks, but that’s not as convenient as being able to shake it and drink. The protein supplements from Dymatize Elite mix really well. I can just give it a quick shake and there are no protein chunks:)
3) They add Lactase
Whey protein comes from cow’s milk, so if you’re lactose intolerant you may have a problem digesting a protein supplement because it contains lactose. Just in case you don’t know, lactose intolerance means that your body doesn’t make enough lactase to break down any lactose that you’ve consumed. I didn’t know that I was lactose intolerant for the longest time, so I never knew why protein supplements were so hard on my digestive system:( The supplements from Dymatize Elite contain lactase, so lactose intolerant people can also drink them without any stomach upset. Awesome!
So there you have it, my three big reasons for loving this company! I should also mention that I am in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Dymatize Elite. I just think that when you find a good product, you should share it with others. If you don’t have access to a Popeye’s supplement store, you can also order this online.
ENJOY!
