Review: Natural Factors Whey Protein

Natural Factors 100% Whey Protein Mix

by Krystal (Kndkane)

I had been TTC since Jan 2007. I moved to medical assistance in Sept 2008. After four unsuccessful rounds of Clomid (three with IUI) we decided to move to Gonal-F with back to back IUIs in February 2009. Because I was paying for everything out of pocket (and possibly moving to IVF if this didn’t work) I wanted to do everything I could to get the most “bang for my buck”.

I did some research and found an “IVF To Do” list on Fertility Friend. One of the recommended items was to drink protein shakes to help boost ovary quality. Joy recommended a whey protein shake made by Natural Factors. She said she had tried the strawberry flavor and it tasted like strawberry Quik…I was sold! So, I ran out to Central Market and found it in chocolate and vanilla {no strawberry }. The chocolate is so YUMMY, though! The Central Market employee that helped me find it said it was by far her favorite brand.

I had one shake a day and followed the recipe suggested by another wise Fertility Friend member:
In a blender, blend one scoop of the protein powder, one banana, one cup of milk and lots of ice.
Super easy and delicious!
