Have you ever REALLY thought about what you put into your body? Until recently, I hadn’t. Then I realized some foods I was eating were causing my body way more harm than they were worth. So, in late 2020, I overhauled the way I eat. I began to cut out foods that were triggers for me – namely dairy and carbohydrates. Dairy was one of my main sources of protein, so it was necessary for me to find additional ways to keep my protein intake up while also avoiding foods that trigger reactions in my body.
Enter Iconic Protein.
I’ve tried dozens of protein drinks on the market. And some of them are hard to get through. This was my first time trying Iconic Protein drinks, and I was pleasantly surprised by their line!! Boasting 20 grams of protein and around 4 grams of net carbs per bottle, these are some of the smoothest drinks I’ve tried. They aren’t overly thick or gritty like some products on the market – you would probably not even realize it was a protein drink. In addition to being 99.99% lactose free, these drinks are also gluten free, soy free, wheat free, and don’t use any artificial sweeteners. The protein in Iconic’s line of drinks is derived from grass-fed cow’s milk which provides a complete protein. Their micro-filtration process is what allows them to produce a drink that is derived from cow’s milk, but is also 99.99% lactose free.
Iconic has a flavor for everyone. Café Latte is perfect for the coffee lover – not overly sweet yet has a very distinct coffee flavor. Vanilla Bean creates the perfect base for a fruit smoothie – I, myself, am a fan of frozen strawberries and blueberries blended together with a vanilla bean shake. And while vegetables and chocolate do not generally mix well together, I was shocked at how great Iconic Protein’s “Cacao + Greens” shake tasted! Cacao + Greens has a very mild, smooth chocolate taste. Had I not known there was a full serving of vegetables in it, I never would have been able to tell.
Iconic Protein is a great addition to any diet where allergens are an issue.
Enjoy, y’all!!
