The GNC PUREDGE Complete Protein powder, similar to the Daily Energy, did not have an overwhelming flavor or taste, allowing me to mix it with just water or into a smoothie. Delivers over 5g of amino acids including the branched chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine and valine, essential for protecting, repairing and fueling muscle.

The whole-food-based, 20g protein blend provides one full serving of fruits and vegetables to help meet daily nutritional requirements.Supports vital, core body systems responsible for maintaining muscle health, while supplying daily nutritional needs and functional antioxidant protection.About GNC PUREDGE Complete Protein powdered formula (from GNC): Though we try to get protein mainly through diet, my hectic gym work and workout schedule doesn’t always make immediate post-workout protein consumption by way of food possible. The other largely consumed supplement in our house is protein powder. Also, if you don’t shake well, it remains slightly chunky.
Because the PUREDGE line doesn’t contain these artificial ingredients, I found the daily energy to separate pretty quickly if it was not consumed immediately after shaking. Protip: a lot of supplements contain unnatural ingredients that help the product blend and dissolve smoothly. I’ve already put in a request to Santa for a backup supply on this product. However, when I mixed one scoop with 20 oz of water or more and consumed the daily energy slowly, it gave me the gradual and gentle energizing boost that I need in the morning. When one scoop is mixed with 8 oz of water or less and immediately consumed, I did get that “pre-workout-fingers-tingle-buzz”, though not overwhelmingly so. As for the energy level, it was exactly what I look for. So many of these products have an in-your-face overpowering (and often too sweet) flavor. The taste of the Cherry Limeade flavor was very natural tasting, and relatively subtle compared to what I expected. According to GNC, the powdered formula combines quality carbohydrates with clinically studied ingredients, potent herbal teas and fruit and vegetable extracts to provide immediate energy. I was not only able to pronounce everything, but I actually knew what each ingredient was. My guilt levels immediately decreased when I read the ingredients list on the GNC PUREDGE Daily Energy Performance Energizer (full ingredients list can be found on the GNC PUREDGE page). Pre-workouts are unfortunately my favorite, and I’ve been known to even start my day with one. Now, my biggest guilty pleasure, that I’ve mentioned around here no short of a hundred times, is caffeine. Because it’s never too early to start your (in this case, my) New Years resolution, I didn’t hesitate to start incorporating the PUREDGE products into my daily routine. GNC was kind enough to send me a sampling of the new PUREDGE line to try out. For those of you in competitive scenarios, it’s important to know that the GNC PUREDGE line also contains no banned substances* ( you’d be surprised how many over the counter supplements contain “questionable” ingredients). These products are tested by an independent third party lab for genetically modified material and test below a 0.9% threshold. Setting a new standard for quality whole-food-based nutrition, the GNC PUREDGEline contains no preservatives, no GMO1-added ingredients, no wheat, yeast, fish or egg, no sugar alcohols, no artificial additives, colors or sweeteners, and no gluten-added ingredients. Recently, GNC released a new line called PUREDGE. Needless to say, paying closer attention to what foods and ingredients I put into my body is a New Years Resolution of my own. Others? Well let’s just say that we sacrifice health and what we put in our body for the sake of a killer pump (in short, they are horrible for you). Some of them are great, made with the health conscious person in mind. And Geoff and I, being total gym rats, consume these products down in vast quantities. One of the great perks of being a fitness blogger is that I’m often sent supplements such as pre-workouts and protein powders to try from various companies. I am certainly guilty of this oversight myself. A massive contradiction among the fitness and health population is the frequency in which people are very mindful to eating a healthy diet, yet turn around and consume pre and post workout supplements that are full of artificial and questionable ingredients. The New Year is coming, and whether you are ready or not, you are about to be bombarded with fitness, health, and nutrition tips and products. All opinions stated, as always, are my own. Thanks to GNC for sponsoring today’s post, and allowing me to try the new PUREDGE products.
