After I started lifting weights and working out regularly I realized how little protein I had in my diet. Of course, meeting nutrition needs through whole foods is best, but that’s easier said than done. I do use supplements like protein powder to help me meet my protein goals, and the new Ella Daily Protein Powder is great because it has boosts for your hair, skin, and nails, too!
*Disclaimer: This product was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.
Ella is a new product from Naked Nutrition, a great brand that I’ve worked with in the past (read all those reviews here). Naked Nutrition offers more than 50 products made with the purest of ingredients, with most products having three ingredients or less!
There are no artificial flavors, sweeteners, flavors, or colors in Ella. It’s available in Chocolate and Vanilla flavor and I received the Vanilla powder to review. It contains collagen and organic seed protein with a blend of beauty-boosting hyaluronic acid, zinc, vitamin C, biotin, and more to improve skin elasticity, smoothness, and give a natural glow.
Ella contains 100 milligrams of hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in the body that acts as a humectant, keeping moisture for plump, youthful skin. Zinc, biotin, and vitamin C boost natural keratin and collagen production to promote healthier nails and thicker hair.
The protein portion of Ella is derived from grass-fed collagen and organic seeds. Two scoops of powder equal one serving, and there are 20 grams of protein per serving, as you can see above. This is a standard amount for protein powders and great for post-workout shakes.
If you’ve ever had a protein powder before, sometimes they can be chalky and not-so-tasty. I’ve found that Naked Nutrition’s products have a smooth texture and pretty good flavor, and Ella is no different. Don’t get me wrong, it does have that “protein powder” taste, but the lack of artificial ingredients makes it taste so much better than other brands.
I like to mix Ella with milk for a nice vanilla shake, or add it into my coffee as a kind of latte in the morning. You can mix it with cold water or any beverage of your choice.
Visit Naked Nutrition to purchase.
Bottom Line: Ella is unlike any other protein powder I’ve seen. It’s great for anyone looking for a great source of protein and it has the added benefits of beauty-boosting ingredients like collagen and biotin. Best of all, it tastes great!
