Hello lovely readers! I have put together a blog post today to share with you one of my favourite products that was created by a lovely lady, Kathryn, who is now a very good friend of mine! Rejuvenated.co.uk
I tried Rejuvenated products a good few months ago now and really did just fall in love with them. I tend to be quite fussy about what products I use but these are made with all natural ingredients with no added sugars or damaging sweeteners. They provide a lot of health benefits, are extremely versatile and I and now end up using them in the majority of my recipes. As well as protein powders, Rejuvenated provide an amazing skin care range packed with vitamins that optimise your skin health. I often get comments on how I take care of my skin and the secret is to keep it well nourished and well hydrated- this is exactly what Rejuvenated products do!
I have listed below my favourite Rejuvenated products to use, why I love to use them, why they are good for you and how I incorporate them into my recipes.
Products
Sweetened with the plant stevia and packed with vitamins, I use these collagen shots every time I make a smoothie. This is a perfect way to enhance your skin health as it provides good sources of your B vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, copper and acai berry which is a powerful antioxidant. You can see my smoothie recipes here.
This is probably my favourite product of Rejuvenated. Particularly if you are feeling run down or you haven’t managed to get enough sleep recently- these little shots are a miracle, providing minerals and ions that are key in hydration for skin and health.
H3O Hydration drinks offers nutritional support for skin throughout the day and contains specific nutrients to enhance water absorption. Your daily serving of H3O Hydration is rich in Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin C.
• Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.
Having tried all 3 flavours (strawberry, chocolate and banana) I use all 3 for different recipes. It is often the case (as women) that we lack protein in our diet. Now ladies… protein does not make you bulky! Unless you are training and lifting very heavy weights alongside massively upping your protein intake- only then will you start to grow big muscles however, this is a lot easier for men than women as we do not have the same levels of testosterone so generally speaking- we cannot ‘bulk’ like men can. So when you think of protein think healthy skin, healthy nails and healthy cells and tissue in your body- because that is what we need protein for! Particularly those who choose a plant based lifestyle, it may become more difficult to maintain an adequate protein intake- this is when I would encourage protein powder! However, you have to be so careful when choosing these powders as most are laden with added sugars or damaging sweeteners such as Sucralose… Rejuvenated protein powders are not one of those!
As you can see here, rejuvenated protein powders are made with natural, health supporting ingredients which is exactly why I incorporate them into my diet. Like I said I use all 3 flavours for different recipes that I will list below.
I love using this chocolate protein powder when I make oats for breakfast. I cook mine over the hob and stir in 1 scoop towards the end of cooking them. I also add a scoop of cacao powder for an extra rich chocolate taste!
I also make various breads and muffins that use chocolate protein powder for an added protein boost! You can see my cacao and banana muffin recipe here.
Banana protein powder I usually reserve my banana breads! I love to make a banana bread at the beginning of the week to have as a healthy go-to snack when I’m out and about. You can see the recipe below.
