Protein, Burpees & Waterfalls

My hunt for a decent protein powder ended at Paleo Pro: twice the price, fewer ingredients, and a flavor like watered-down fake chocolate. The lesson, again: do not put things in your body that you bought on Amazon. Then I taught the kids burpees in the driveway and we walked to the waterfalls.

Protein, Burpees & Waterfalls

Some time ago I wanted a reputable protein powder that hopefully didn't taste terrible. I've got a friend who is a competitive power lifter and owns his own gym. I asked him. He told me to get ATP Labs Supreme Beef. I did. I liked it. And then it went out of stock. And it remained out of stock for months. I finally got tired of waiting and moved on. Interesting side note. One day I complained to him about it being out of stock, thinking he was dealing with the same annoyance I was. He says,

ATP Labs? No. I wish. I never use their stuff. It is waaaay too expensive for me.

Ha.

I moved on to this stuff: MuscleMeds CARNIVOR Beef Protein Isolate Powder. It is cheap, but it is from Amazon, and I'm always a little concerned about eating things I buy from Amazon. That didn't stop me from being content with it through several tubs though. (I don't like buying food by the tub.)

Finally I did some research and landed on Paleo Pro Protein Powder. It is more than 2x the price (per serving), but it has far fewer carbs, fewer ingredients and I'm buying it direct from the source. Also, apparently it uses a mix of beef protein and egg protein. I dig that. I got the Ancient Cacao. It is not amazing. It tastes like you mixed in too much water with your fake chocolate drink. But, I'm not buying this stuff for the flavor.

Anyway, all that to say: don't put stuff in your body that you buy from Amazon. Everyone should know better, myself included.
