Product Review: Collagen + Beauty Milk

Hi all!


So this year it is all about regaining my body back. For me, once Christmas is over and the New Year festivities have come to an end it is all bout getting healthy again. I have joined the gym, well since November, and have been going. If you have not already I suggest buying some work out DVDs or attending your local gym as it is way too cold to go out for a run (my preference anyway.) With this in mind I was delighted to be sent Collagen+ Beauty Milk by The Protein Drinks Co .

I always jump at the chance to try out healthy products, especially since I do not consume enough protein and reach for carbs when snacking! With the added bonus of Collagen this makes this high protein drink nutritious as well as beautifying.

Collagen is an essential complex protein of the body found in skin, ligaments and bones. It is important in holding the body together. Now in terms of beauty it keeps the skin youthful, tight and soft. PLUS.


Strawberry Flavour
Size: 200ml
Nutritional Information (per bottle): 112 calories
Fat: 2.9 g
Carbohydrate: 9.8 g
of which sugars: 9.8g
Protein: 11.9g

With Vitamins C, E, B12, B3, B6, D3 all with 100% RI
Green Tea extract 50mg
Hydrolysed Collagen 5000 mg


So far I have taken this product for 3 days, after workout. The flavour is great, and the drink is smooth with no protein powder lumps or bumps. It is very sweet and you do get a sense of satisfaction upon drinking. It digests well, for those with sensitive stomachs. My only complaint is that it is not a larger sized bottle. I do not find it incredibly filling as some other protein shakes can tide me over until the next meal, but with this shake I could nibble some nuts or fruit in order to be satisfied. For me this is essential as although high in protein I do think if the consistency was thicker and sugar content less it will be more satiable.


This is a great product though, and you can have your protein and be beautiful with it. For me not suited for breakfast as not filling or satisfying enough, but a great snack on the go for an in between supplement.

I rate this product 4 Stars ****

SOUL Post: Update and Ramblings

Hi guys!

I know I never truly left but it feels like I've been away!


Over Christmas my beloved HP Pavilion Laptop declined in health after 4 years. All the keys literally stopped working, and I had to use an old keyboard, plug it in via the usb port to enable me to type! On top of this the usual Uni deadlines etc. My Songwriter EP 'Heart Strings' is coming along guys! Alas, I have a new desktop now. So happy! So I will be posting more frequently.


Now that Spring is here officially, the days will be getting brighter, the weather a little warmer, and of course the music a little louder.


It's lent, and I've got 27 days left of NO SUGAR. It's tough but Im fighting through it. No sugar for me includes honey, and even sugar as an ingredient in  drinks etc are a no-no too. Natural sugars such as fruits, and even agave nectar are fine. Although my Agave Nectar has almost run out and I plan to limit this too. The less sweetness the better. I was successful last year and it felt great. You can really feel the health benefits- and as time goes on you don't realise. There's loads of healthy sugar free recipes out there such as healthy caramel sauce from Gemma's 'Healthy Happy Life' you can find here. And not to forget my favourite healthy dessert blogger: Chocolate Covered Katie who can be found here.






Are you giving anything up for Lent?
