I LOVE Naked Nutrition’s brand new Matcha Protein Powders!
There are two versions of the product (one made with whey, and the second with vegan pea protein) and all kinds of amazing recipes!

I LOVE that it only has TWO INGREDIENTS!

There’s no odor or aftertaste in either the pea or whey protein powders.

I have a smoothie every morning and often throughout the day.
I’m often vegan/vegetarian until dinnertime. It helps me to maintain a healthy weight and have lots of energy.
Matcha just makes it all better!

My favorite smoothies:
Wonderful Berry Energy Smoothies

Can easily make this vegan without yogurt. Can use any or no plant milk or liquid.

Mango Pina Colada Smoothie
Can easily make this vegan by using the pea protein + matcha powder.

There are A TON of other products from Naked Nutrition and healthy recipe options (like no carb pizza crust, protein packed quiches, and much more) as well if you are looking for additional options for both sweet and savory items with a healthy twist.

In addition to being delicious and a great way to pack lean, clean protein into all kinds of recipes – Naked Nutrition has pledged to donate between 15-100% (yes, you read that right!) of sales from these two products to the ALS Association’s Golden West Chapter/ Team Nanci for the rest of 2018 in an effort to help raise money and awareness for the organization in hopes of helping to find a cure for this awful disease.
Those affected by ALS will very often be robbed of a simple joy that we seem to have in common (eating solid food), so while it certainly may not be as yummy as Matcha Chocolate Chip muffins (recipe below!), these and all of the other pure and additive-free products the brand offers help to make the smoothies and shakes that those with ALS almost exclusively get their nutrition from a little more fun, and a lot more tasty.
“Matcha is known for being an antioxidant powerhouse so we thought it would be a great idea to support another powerhouse – celebrity publicist Nanci Ryder – by helping to raise money for ALS research,” continued Zieminski.
