Trying a new protein powder!
Ok so I just finished my workout, well, after my workout I had to open my YL boxes and smell the new oils! Creamsicle for the win!! All three are really good. And as for one purpose, roots and wings: one purpose is my favorite!

But what I’m really impressed about is how good the protein tastes!!! And normally use:
Chocolate protein powder
Or plain and add a scoop of cocoa powder
Greens powder or frozen açaí greens
Collagen (2 scoops for 22 g protein)
2 scoops cocoa powder
Frozen strawberries 
Sometimes a banana 
Unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
Ice

I decided to only use the almond milk, strawberries and banana with YL’s new collagen, power meal and greens….and no cocoa and it is so good!! I wasn’t expecting it to taste good without sweetener or cocoa powder!  Tomorrow I’ll try with cocoa powder bc I love chocolate but wow! I’ve tried a lot of protein powders for flavor, price and quality. 

I do see ”natural flavors” in there so I’m wondering what that’s about but the other protein that I was using also had that. The only thing is the price factor. I haven’t compared but I don’t think I really can as my other protein didn’t have any vitamins like this one has. 

Being honest…this gives me 29 g of protein (20 power meal, 5 collagen and 4 from the fruit and almond milk) I like to get 50g in at each breakfast, lunch and dinner. That way I got that before was adding more collagen. I could do that but the container only has 25 servings. I’d go thru it pretty quickly if I have 4 scoops a day. We’ll see. This is my main breakfast every morning post workout. I workout 7 days a week 4 days weights, 2 days HiiT/step/metabolic and a yoga/stretch/mobility day. 

So this totally passes the taste test! I’ll have to wait and see what my stomach says.

Hey there! I’m Allison, a homeschool mom of 4 boys, married to Peter. Three of my boys have graduated, and I still have one in high school.

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life here is beautiful, a little loud, and full of wrestling matches. We’re definitely a work in progress, and that’s real life.

A little about me and how I got here...

I used to feel overwhelmed by all the information about health, ingredients, and creating a lower-tox home. There was always something else I could be doing, and honestly, I didn’t know what really mattered most.

Then I discovered that I didn’t have to change everything at once. I could start small, make simple swaps, and learn what actually worked for my family in real life. That made it feel doable.

Now I help busy, thoughtful moms in a full or changing season of life who want healthier, more intentional choices for their home and family but feel overwhelmed by where to start.

I help them simplify wellness, focus on what matters most, and make changes that actually fit real life.

If that’s you, get in touch. I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
