Number One in Protein

Wow - it's been a while since I've posted, a lot has happened in the past six or so weeks... My wife had her appendix out, I had my wisdom teeth out and I've gotten a few more writing gigs, which has made for one exceedingly busy life for me. All seems well now, I'm back at close to one hundred percent and have squeezed in the time for a few wicked workouts over the course of the last few days, thanks in part to the best protein powder available today...

As an avid strength trainer, I know the importance of protein in my diet, but I do probably take this necessary nutrient for granted at times. Over the course of the last few weeks though, with several days where I couldn't really eat because of the oral surgery and during the days where I was rushing my daughter to school, then rushing to the hospital, then rushing to the doctor, etc. I practically lived on my favorite protein powder - Nitrean from AtLarge Nutrition.

The lack of solid food for nearly a week did have me drop a few pounds (about four to six), but the high quality protein blend in Nitrean made sure that none of it was muscle. I've always loved the taste of Nitrean, which is head and shoulders above most other protein powders on the market ( believe me, I've had my fair share of protein powders over the years) and the mixability is unparalleled - I mix it in a regular eight ounce drinking glass with a fork in just a few seconds and there are no lumps or clumps.

I've known for some time that Nitrean was pretty special compared to other protein supplements, which is why I ranked it number one on the list of Best Protein Powders - I guess I just didn't know how much I loved until I was practically living off of it:
