These days, you’re probably picking up workout habits that might be unfamiliar for you (if this is your first time taking plant based protein or doing pilates at home, you’re not alone). What’s making this uncertain transition easier is the fact of setting routines to solidify whatever it is you want to achieve. That means having the right gear on hand for the best workout possible—and giving just as much care and attention to your muscles in order to cool down and rest up.
According to nutritionists it’s recommended taking at least 50 percent of your body weight in grams of protein per day, with the goal of getting to about two-thirds of your body weight in grams.

What is the best plant based protein powder?
With some studies showing that when protein is ingested within thirty minutes of working out, it improves muscle recovery and decreases soreness, so we knew it was the right call to try the goodies of this Australian brand turned 7-figure business in just a year, the brother/sister duo, Georgia and Coopa Stevenson are the founders of Naked Harvest Protein, with a vision, to revolutionise the standard of men and women’s active health supplements.
After many years of searching for the perfect nutritional supplements to support her active & healthy lifestyle, it came to Georgie’s attention that there were very few, not to say almost none, natural supplements on the market, especially those made with women in mind.
As I did, I’m sure you have been quite skeptical about trying protein powders to boost your body! Are protein powders really good for your health? Am I going to feel swollen if I take proteins? Do I need a protein powder to supplement my diet if I’m going plant based?
All of these and more questions pop in our head eventually but the good thing about Naked Harvest products is that they have been carefully formulated using only the finest ingredients mother nature has to offer. Stripping them back, so their products are naked, hence the brand name! When taking Naked Harvest you only get what you need, and only the best of what Mother Nature has to offer to fuel your body and make you feel at your best.

CF FAVE: Juicy Grape
One of the best sellers at Naked Harvest e-commerce, and we back it up. The aftertaste is not sour at all, it’s more like chewing and bubbling your childhood memories into the EPIC flavour of those good renowned pinkies chewing gums from your 90’s memories. I like to take it 30 minutes before my morning run, I feel energized and less tingling than usual, that’s right a new motivation to get you through new or old routines.
2. Thrive Plant Based Protein
Naked Harvest’s focus was to break through the male-dominated supplements market to create not only a popular vegan protein range but one that was crafted from natural ingredients. If that wasn’t enough, Naked Harvest went one step further and that’s when the THRIVE Plant-based protein powder comes to the spotlight, a powerful formula that not only contains natural in abundance but also functional ingredients such as fibre, adaptogens, superfoods, and minerals, to promoting a thriving body like the one you deserve.
To mention a list of the hero ingredients packed in the Thrive plant based protein range:
- Psyllium Husk
- Organic Maca Powder
- Siberian Ginseng
- Magnesium
- Digestive Enzymes
The THRIVE Plant based Protein range not only provides a 100% plant based protein source (pea and rice protein) to support pre-work muscles and skin tissues in enhanced muscle recovery and function but due to its hero ingredients, THRIVE takes you on the path of increased energy, improved mental performance, hormone balance, and immune protection. What else could we ask for?
CF FAVE: Peanut Butter Brownie
For those who know me a little, this choice won’t be a surprise! I like to think about everything with peanut butter and a plant-based diet is always a good idea. I love to add it into my morning oat porridge, it gives me that extra boost before my pre-work, plus it’s great adding to my plant-based protein daily intake. If you’re one of those more reluctant to sweets, let me tell you that this is a great option for you too, as it has a subtle sweet aftertaste that won’t leave anyone behind.
