LEAN ACTIVE PROTEIN RECIPES

Many think protein powder is something bodybuilders use to gain muscle, however, whilst it is true that protein does help build strong muscles and bones, it also helps keep our bodies trim and our bellies full.  This means it plays a crucial part in any weight loss regime.

For those looking to maximise their metabolism in the run-up to Christmas, LEAN Active Whey Protein Isolate powder is a great way to sneak additional macronutrients into every meal.

Sprinkle a scoop on your favourite smoothies, oats,  homemade nutrition bars and pancakes.

Whey protein is particularly beneficial for vegetarians, who are worried about getting less protein from their meatless diets.
