My Favorite Clean Protein Powder

If you have ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering which protein powder to choose, you are not alone. I have tried more brands than I can count, and a few were definite misses. I wanted something that was low in sugar, high in protein, and made from grass fed dairy. After a lot of experimenting, I finally found one that feels effortless in my routine. It has made a noticeable difference in my energy, my workouts, and even how long I stay full.

The One That Stood Out For Me

The protein powder I ended up choosing is Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein in Vanilla, and it truly checks every box for me. It is made from grass fed, hormone free dairy. It contains no artificial sweeteners, no artificial flavors, and no GMOs. Each scoop has twenty four grams of protein which supports both muscle recovery and bone health. It is naturally rich in BCAAs which help with lean muscle maintenance. It is low in sugar and carbs which makes it a great fit for anyone who wants steady energy and clean, simple nutrition.

Since adding it to my routine, my recovery feels easier. My cravings are lower. My energy stays steady which helps me stay consistent in the gym and throughout the day.

How I Use It In My Day

Most mornings I blend one scoop with one cup of unsweetened almond milk. It is such an easy way to get a jump start on both my protein and my calcium for the day. The vanilla flavor is light and creamy, and it blends so smoothly that I never get that chalky taste. I use the twenty eight ounce BlenderBottle Classic V2 Shaker Bottles because they are perfect for protein shakes, hold plenty of liquid, and are BPA free. It gives me a clean lift without any crash and helps me feel ready for my workout or the rest of my morning.

There are also other simple and delicious ways to enjoy it.

🌿Smoothie
Blend one scoop with almond milk, half a banana, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a quick and creamy smoothie. If you like yours thicker, add two tablespoons of flaxseed, half a cup of frozen blueberries, and half an avocado. This is my personal go to and it keeps me full for hours. We make our smoothies in the Ninja Foodi Power Blender and Processor System, which we specifically bought for smoothies and it has been the best choice for blending everything smoothly. It even has a dedicated smoothie setting that gets the texture just right. The on the go cup shown in the photo at the top of this article comes with the blender and makes the whole process easier with far less cleanup.

🌿Protein oatmeal
Stir one scoop into warm oatmeal with berries, walnuts, and flaxseed for a satisfying breakfast that keeps you full for hours.

🌿Overnight oats or chia pudding
Mix it in before refrigerating. It creates a thicker, creamier texture and adds a meaningful protein boost. If you are using chia seeds, let them sit in the liquid for at least twenty minutes before eating so they can fully absorb and give you the most benefit.

🌿Protein pancakes
Add a scoop to your pancake or waffle batter for extra staying power.

🌿Baking boost
Mix it into muffins or homemade granola for a simple way to increase protein in your snacks.

All of these flavors mix well and fit easily into smoothies, oats, and simple almond milk blends. I like keeping a couple of flavors on hand because it brings a little variety to my mornings when I am blending it with almond milk. It keeps things interesting and makes this part of my routine something I genuinely look forward to. It truly has become my daily go to.
