Directions & Suggested Use
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
BLENDER: Add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex(R) APS powder to a blender filled with 8-12 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Add several ice cubes and mix on highest speed for 45-60 seconds. SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a complete meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, and/or slivered almonds. STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT-10), and BCAA powders you can make Natural Pro Complex(R) APS an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
SUGGESTED USE: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. You can achieve this through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For the best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
DIRECTIONS: SPOON STIRRED: Natural Pro Complex(R) APS is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don’t have time to get out the blender, you can just add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex(R) APS to a glass filled with 8-12 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Natural Pro Complex(R) by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix two scoops with 6-8 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 12-14 oz of liquid per two scoops.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions
SHAKER: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the perfect way to get a hefty dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just add 2 rounded scoops of Natural Pro Complex(R) APS to your shaker cup and then pour in 8-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.
