So, today it is Wildy Caro in Fit Girl mode welcoming you, and we are opening together a fairly enormous Prozis parcel… the kind of parcel where you wonder, as you lift the box, what on earth you could have ordered. This time, I went for products that answer a real everyday issue, eating protein without cooking for two hours. Because we all have the desire to be consistent, but time is often what is missing. Settle in comfortably, let’s look at what is inside.
The powdered skyr, today’s crash test
It is the product that tickled my curiosity the most, so I may as well start with it.
Why the powder, and not the supermarket tub
If you are big skyr consumers, you know it ends up costing a lot each month. The idea of the powdered version is exactly that, fifteen servings in a tub, reconstituted on demand. You count three scoops for 100 to 120 ml of water, and a little tip, keep the water nice and cold, or add an ice cube, it makes all the difference to the final texture.
The verdict, in all honesty
From the scent, I am won over, it really smells good. On tasting, I confirm that with cold water it will be even better, but it is already far from unpleasant. There is a slightly grainy side, surprising for the first second, that disappears completely as the taste takes over. The texture is reminiscent of a liquid fromage blanc, a drinking yoghurt. To tell you everything, the serving you get is generous, I would happily split it in two. On taste, I am delighted, and it is the kind of product I really invite you to test so you can form your own opinion.
Around the skyr, the little shortcuts that change the week
A good skyr is nice, but it is the ecosystem around it that saves time.
The brownie premix, for a snack without the guilt
This premix, I had already tested it in the past (and slightly botched it, through lack of practice, I admit it without shame). This time I will not miss it. We are on a chocolate-hazelnut taste, seventeen grams of protein, zero sugar, and above all the simplicity of not getting out fourteen ingredients for a simple snack. It is that kind of honest shortcut that makes consistency sustainable.
The powdered coconut milk, my real surprise
Here, I started out sceptical, really. Powdered coconut milk, I had my doubts. And then the smell, already, smells distinctly of coconut, it is indulgent. Once mixed, the result won me over to the point of immediately imagining recipes, a golden milk for example, with a bit of turmeric, vanilla and cinnamon. When you know the price of classic coconut milk, the appeal is obvious.
The olive oil spray, the anti-waste trick
Small object, big help. For a tomato tart, roasted vegetables, one spritz of spray is enough, it coats everything without drowning the dish, and it avoids wasting oil. It is typically the product whose usefulness you do not suspect until you have adopted it.
Creatine, the subject we talk about too little on the women’s side
We often associate creatine with men, with bodybuilding, with heavy sessions. On my side, I already use it for better muscle recovery, simply to optimise my workouts.
Then, and I say it conditionally because I am not a doctor, recent studies are said to point to specific benefits for women, beyond sport. I am not promising you anything, I mainly invite you to look into it and to talk about it around you. What I can say is what I observe on my own sessions, nothing more.
And the rest of the parcel, in fitness mode
The parcel always ends on the part I prefer, the fashion novelties. A cream-coloured t-shirt from the new collection, really pretty, socks with a design I find absolutely gorgeous, a water bottle in a colour far more flashy than I remembered, and a few bars, the Zero Break in particular, which are like Kit Kats… without the added sugar. In short, enough to get through a week of sport without ever feeling like you are depriving yourself.
For those who want to test it, my code gives you -10% on the whole site, all year round, and it can be combined with certain current offers. Here it is one last time, CAROFIT10.
