USN Supplements Review

Something a little different on my blog today, I have some items from USN to try. I am always trying to be a little healthier, sometimes I am more successful than others!

So I thought I would give these a go. I have never really got on with protein powders that well, I have never liked the constancy, I'm not a fan of milkshakes in general. (which I know is strange!) But as far as shakes go they were nice, they mixed well and they do taste nice. They worked well for me after the gym. I think I prefer the diet range for me personally as I am not trying to bulk up. My better half did enjoy the whey protein samples though!

I have been quite good lately at keeping up with going to the gym. I am better if I go straight from work, if I go home first its game over and it wont be happening. So I do love protein bars this is something that I do use a lot, I have been loving the Quest bars these are normally the ones that I would go for, but these bars were just as nice, again I think the diet whey bar is more suited to me. They were not as hard going as a lot a bars are out there it was enjoyable.

The energy drink was a also lovely, a great pick me up before the gym, again I'm about convenience going straight to the gym from work this bottle is really handy for when you need that little boost!

Hopefully I can keep this motivation going!

Savisto 3 in 1 hand blender set

This is something totally different for me to be logging about but I have really gone into smoothies lately. I have a large blender that I have used for a few years but I thought that something like this would be good for making a smoothie easily without having to use the big blender

Box Contains:

- Main unit with electrics & speed settings
- Blender attachment
- Food processor attachment container
- Whisk attachment
- 800ml beaker
- Instructions

The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was, I was expecting it to very loud like my other blender but it really wasn't. It’s just a quiet low noise and it was like this no matter which of the add-ons I used. I went through all the speeds and found there was barely any noise increase from one to the other, this was greet you don't want a really noisy blender first thing in the morning!!

I was able to put the container into the dishwasher which is a big plus for me I hand washed the mechanical attachments but the beaker and the food processer container are both fine in the dishwasher

I made a bannana and strawberry smoothie easily with the blender attachment it blended it up in no time at all.

I am also a fan on Sunday morning pancakes.. When I get the time to make them! But I used the whisk attachment I think it was actually easer than my usual whisk as it's just one and the whisk is a bit more flexible which isn't as noisy in a Pyrex bowl!

I am hoping that as it is so easy to do and is a lot quieter I will stay motivated to keep up with the healthier eating. The nice weather is also helping!
