STEVIA SWEETENS PROTEIN

It's been a couple of weeks now since I got my huge container of Whey 100% protein from Self Omninutrition. It's a breakthrough on the Swedish market as it is sweetened with Stevia instead of other artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and sackarin. What makes Stevia such a good sweetener? Well, for starters it's made out of a bunch of herbs and plants, which makes it a natural sweetener instead of artificial, and natural without any calories. Stevia's extract is about 300 times sweeter than sugar so you don't need to use that much in order to get the sugary taste. And it has no effect on your blood sugar. If you want to know more about Stevia, search online or go to Wikipedia.

When it comes to the whey protein powder itself, I must say I am surprisingly happy with the product. It's the finest protein isolate powder, low carb and low lactose, which makes it very gentle on your stomach when digested. I got the chocolate flavour and it tastes lovely. I've tried it with only water or milk and both mixes are deliciously yummy. It foams quiet a bit when shaken, but it doesn't bother me at all. On the contrary, it reminds me of milkshake. Haha! And I do prefer a more natural product anyway than one loaded with additives.

I think Self Omninutrition has managed to produce a high quality product that is not only naturally sweetened but also manufactured with milk from cows that haven't been pumped full of hormones, which in turn means I don't have to ingest any additional hormones. That makes me well happy! For those who know me, I am an advocate for organic products as far as I can take it, but especially when it comes to dairy as our poor factory cows are treated with hormones to grow faster and bigger for a quicker buck, which makes them sick and in addition have to be treated with antibiotics. I feel very strongly about this subject and I hope consumers around the world start questioning the non-organic dairy products, do their research on the facts and make their stand by only buying organic dairy. Enough said. :)

I recommend this whey protein isolate by Self Omninutrition. Try it and you won't be disappointed!
