100% Whey Professional by Scitec Nutrition




100% Whey Protein Professional was a delicious protein; almost sinful. It contains 22 grams of protein per serving (30 grams).
I've tasted Caramel and Cappuccino, they taste like candy. Tastes good when mixed in milk and/or water. Pretty cheap for a protein that tastes good and has a high protein content. This is a protein I can recommend. Makes you look forward to your next shake. I used it as a snack between meals and post workout. Don't forget to follow the blog to get the latest tips and reviews.

100% Casein Complex by Scitec Nutrition


100% Casein Complex was a good tasting casein, which wasn't that expensive. It was a little "grainy", like sand grain and was very thick. I went for the Belgian Chocolate flavor. I gave it a 4/5 on taste /mix because it was grainy; otherwise a good tasting protein with a good amount of protein.

Casein by Body Science

I chose the top 3 flavors; Double Chocolate Almond, Piña  Colada, and Pear Split (swedish ice cream with pear and vanilla flavor; in swedish Päron Split). What's good with this protein is that you can drink it, and eat it in 2 ways. Take 1,5dl liquid to 1,1dl powder mix and put in the freezer, and you'll get ice cream. Or the same mix but in the fridge, you've got pudding. The Double Chocolate Almond didn't taste good when mixed with water, but worked fine with milk. It tasted even better as pudding. The best out these 3, was Pear Split. It tasted good both with water and milk. Overall satisfied with this protein and was cheap

Homemade NSS (No Salt Seasoning)


Made some NSS (no salt seasoning). It's fascinating how a combination of herbs and spices can give a taste sensation of salt. NSS is good way to keep salt consumption to a minimum.

Recipe for 60 grams NSS 
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp.dried oregano 
  • 1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp. paprika powder 
  • 1 tsp. celery seed(if unable to obtain, use 1tsp fennel seeds)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard powder
  • 1 tsp. dried finely chopped lemon peel
  • 1 tsp. black pepper 
(If unable to find dried lemon peel, skip the black pepper and use 2 tsp lemon pepper instead)
Grind all the ingredients and mix thoroughly in a bowl. Then put into a spice shaker.

Superpump Max by Gaspari Nutrition


A classic in my eyes. The first PWO I used when I got into training seriously. It gave a good pump and it tasted great. It's nothing compared to Jack3d or Craze; in the "push" department. It contains vasodilators but no stimulants.

The negative thing with stimulants is that  they're diuretic. Diuretics make you urinate a lot, which in turn depletes you of water and make you lose pump. Loss of water increases the chance of injury; and loss of strength. Why strength? If we go back to the basics of muscles. They are made up of 70-80% water, loss of volume which in turn means smaller muscles less strength. 

This is a great product to start with for any newbie. The flavor is great. It gives a good pump. The only thing is, it cost a bit.
