Over the years, we have been drinking a number of protein shakes to start our day as well as to optimize our workouts. We can tell you about our favorite flavors as well as our ingredients and we’re always on the lookout to try something that is new to us! Naked Nutrition has been a protein that we have shared with you for a bit and we really enjoy the versatility of this brand – there are flavors and a number of protein options that you can tailor to what works best for you.
Interestingly enough, they have a product line known as Naked Goat which starts with small-herd dairy goat farmers that use pasture-based farming methods to supply pure goats’ milk. As a result of the process, they are able to create a non-denatured goat whey protein loaded with essential amino acids, glutathione, and ultimately provides a clean protein! By consuming Naked Goat, you have the benefits of small-herd Wisconsin dairies, pasture-raised goat whey that has nothing artificial, a cold processed – acid and bleach free processing to retain nutrients, and no growth hormones. The protein comes from the liquid leftover after goat milk is curdled and strained during the cheese-making process. This is available in Goat Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Goat Whey Protein Powder as well as Chocolate Goat Whey Protein Powder.
This farm to drink approach to utilizing this kind of whey was interesting, but we wanted to know why someone would opt for Goat Whey Protein and we learned that those who suffer from lactose intolerance would find this as an alternative to traditional dairy products. It is naturally lower in lactose and is able to be a rich source of protein and essential nutrients. That also include the bioactive peptides and immunoglobulins which may assist in immune health. As always, it’s important to contact your preferred healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to assess how your body handles goat whey even at these lowered levels.
Now that we know more about how it’s made as well as the benefits of taking it, does it help you build muscle? The purpose of taking protein is about muscle synthesis. By drinking this, you are supporting muscle recovery as well as it’s growth in conjunction with your exercise and dietary plan. In addition, it is digested and absorbed by your body quickly so that muscles are getting the boost of nutrients that it needs post workout.
When you’re drinking it, you may notice a milder taste or even one that is tangy or earthy. We plan on enjoying it in its chocolate offering. It is suggested that you should consume it within 30 minutes after you exercise as this is when your muscles are looking for nutrients. You can also have a serving in the morning or as a snack so that your muscles can continue to be fed throughout the day to have the proper balance of growth and recovery.
