Naturopath Approved Protein Powders

Organic protein powder for smoothies and post-workout recovery

Protein powders can be a convenient way to meet your daily protein needs, but not all are created equal.

Many options on the market are filled with artificial ingredients, added sugars, and unnecessary fillers—making it hard to know which one is best for you. Lets get this straight… protein powders are NOT a wholefood, and are still processed, but can be a great way to boost protein intake here and there - especially if you have dietary intolerances like dairy, where most of the protein sources are.

 

Here below are some reasons why I would recommend protein powders in my clinic:

Organic protein powder for smoothies and post-workout recovery

  • You are dairy or gluten intolerant, or both!

  • You are vegan or vegetarian

  • You have a lot of food aversions or are a fussy eater

  • You are trying to lose weight

  • You love smoothies

  • You love eating oats

 

Here are my favourite protein powders - tried and tested:

 

Ways to add protein powder to boost your intake:


  • Add to overnight oats or porridge

  • Add to coconut yoghurt

  • Add to greek yoghurt

  • Add to smoothies

  • Add to overnight weetbix



Final thoughts

Protein powders can be a fantastic tool for supporting your health goals when chosen wisely. By focusing on natural, clean, and sustainable options, you can fuel your body without compromising your well-being. If you’re unsure which protein powder is right for you, book a consult for personalised advice!
