If you went through the 28 day “A Better Me Challenge” with us, you are familiar with our “secret weapon.”  I call him the secret weapon because he brought us encouragement and challenged us every week to go further, dig deeper, and to be better.  I’m talking about the dynamic motivational speaker and life coach Byron Davis. The sad truth is most people will spend more time planning for their vacation than they will ever spend planning for their life. And we all know that those who fail to plan, are just planning to fail. Today your assignment is to listen to Byron as he teaches us in just 6 minutes about Unleashing Your Heroic Self! Not only do you get a “power shot”, but you also will get the chance to download a FREE copy of “Your Epic Life Plan” which was written by Byron Davis!!!   Listen to the video for more information.

You know when you come across something you love, you just have to tell somebody!  A few months ago a company by the name of BiPro sent me some of their whey protein to try.  I was extremely skeptical because as a professional athlete I’ve tasted quite a few whey proteins over the years, and 95% of them I cannot stand.  A lot of protein powders are grainy, taste starchy, and many leave a yucky aftertaste in your mouth.  I am a self-proclaimed foodie, and when something tastes bad it just ruins my day!  BiPro really took me by surprise.

The original BiPro Whey Protein is 100% natural!  It has zero carbs, it’s fat free, sugar free, has no fat, no lactose, naturally gluten free, and is unflavored.  All of the zero’s and “frees”, and not having any flavor in it’s description both excited and scared me at the same time.  Remember, I’m a foodie.  I was thinking if it has no sugar, no fat, and no flavor, it cannot be taste free.  I though that this was going to be disgusting.  Well ladies, I’ll have to tell you this product was amazing!! This is the first whey protein that truly left NO aftertaste!  I couldn’t taste it at all!  Which was great because that meant I could put it into anything I wanted and it wouldn’t change the flavor.  Most importantly it wouldn’t leave an aftertaste to let me know I’ve had it!

The first thing I tried it in was a strawberry smoothie.  My smoothie tasted clean and delicious.  I added one scoop of BiPro giving me 20 grams of protein.  I also tried it in my husband’s Cocoa Daddy Cool Smoothie recipe (below).  Again, yummy!  I even gave it a shot the other day in my oatmeal.  When I eat oatmeal, I am usually hungry half an hour later, so I like to add protein to fill me up a little more.  Honestly, I could not taste the BiPro protein, it was great!

For those of you interested in the science behind this product, please visit BIPROUSA.com. If you are an athlete you can rest easy knowing that it is certified for sport from NSF, meaning that it has been certified as free of any banned substances making it safe for athletes who have to undergo drug tests (and safe for the everyday consumer as well!) How is BiPro different than other whey protein products on the market? (taken from their website) “Purity! BiPro is the purest whey protein isolate available. Unlike many other protein products, it does not contain any protein blends, which often include lesser quality proteins such as gelatin. In addition, BiPro does not contain any unnecessary fillers or bulking agents.”  The whey protein I used to buy costs $17.99 for just 10 oz!  A 2 lb container of BiPro Whey Protein will cost you $39.99 which is actually a great price for protein powder.     You can click here to order yours.  (I am not an affiliate)

Here’s a recipe from our Daddy Does It Raw Week, I just added BiPro to it…

Cocoa Daddy Cool Smoothie

1/2 banana

3 or 4 organic strawberries fresh or frozen

2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon of raw peanut butter (you can use a nut free butter if allergic to pb)

3/4 cup of ice

handful of raw spinach

1 scoop of BiPro Whey Protein

1/2 tbs raw agave (optional)

Put all the ingredients in a good blender, and blend until smooth.  If you like it thicker add more ice.  If you like it more smooth, add more water.   (While it gives it a dark green color you can’t taste the spinach. Spinach helps fight cancer, provides fiber, anti-inflammatory, lowers blood pressure, gives you a good dose of vitamins, minerals, good for skin and brain nerve function so you can be quick like the cheetah. Just tell your kids it’s a “Shrek Smoothie” when it’s green or a “Green Lantern Smoothie.)

Thanks to BiPro, later this week we will be giving away a container of BiPro whey protein!!

Here’s a video produced by BiPro on the importance healthy eating during pregnancy and how whey protein can help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRcDmycteXU
