My name is Nayla Martin, I'm 21 years old, and I run track. I started running at the age of 10 for the Vaudreuil-Dorion Track and Field Club, and I'm now in my second year on the NCAA Division 1 circuit, with the Western Kentucky University team. At this level, it's not uncommon to train twice a day, which can be very demanding. Nutrition plays a critical role in our performance, as it's important to recover well and have the energy we need.
I've tried ICE Strawberry Apple Pomegranate Juice Style Protein and am thrilled to have found a new Nova Pharma favorite to incorporate into my workout routine.
What is protein powder?
First of all, ICE is a clear protein powder. It contains 23 grams of protein per serving and is low in fat and carbohydrates. This clear protein powder is therefore very useful during my bodybuilding workouts as it allows me to easily add protein to my diet to promote muscle recovery and optimize my muscle mass gains.
I've always been afraid of clear, fruity proteins for fear of a less "natural" aftertaste, but ICE Strawberry Apple Pomegranate Flavored Protein Powder tastes delicious! It's very refreshing and makes me feel better hydrated. It's also easy to digest and doesn't feel heavy after consumption.
When to take protein powder?
I use ICE Protein Powder during weight training or within 15-30 minutes of a heavy running workout. I also find it convenient to take as a snack during the day if I feel I haven't reached my ideal protein quota.
For all athletes, I know it's important to build a nutrition plan with products you can trust and enjoy. I would definitely recommend ICE Protein powder to athletes of all levels, as it can be just as useful for recovering from intense workouts as it is for meeting your daily protein goals. I know it can be hard to try new products when you already have an established diet, but I'm really glad I tried this product as it's now part of my training essentials!
