In this product review, coach Jamie Ness shares his honest experience using Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder to add collagen to his diet. Read on for why Jamie believes in collagen-rich diets, what he loved about Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder, and why he recommends you try it out, too!
When I was asked to review Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder, I jumped at the chance. As an avid reader of nutrition research published by World Athletics, the governing body of track and field internationally, I am always interested in adding healthy components to my diet. In an article titled Nutrition for the Treatment and Prevention of Track and Field Injuries, published in The International Journal for Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, the authors concluded that numerous studies support the use of collagen to both prevent and treat injuries. Ever since then, I have been enthusiastic about a collagen-rich diet, which bone broth is perfect for.
Bone broth is a great source of collagen, so I have tried a few over the past couple of years. There is no doubt in my mind that injuries heal more quickly when consuming a collagen-rich diet. To review Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder, I consumed it several times before writing the article, although probably not in the most typical manner. With the summer heat on full blast, I did not do a great deal of hot meal preparation usually associated with bone broth. I did however add it to several meals including cottage cheese and tomato, Mediterranean salad, and spaghetti with ground turkey. I also drank a cup straight.
Here is a summary of my pros and cons:
Pros of Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder
- The only ingredient is beef broth protein concentrate. In two scoops of powder you’ll get 20 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 150 mg of sodium and 80 mg of potassium for 90 total calories. You’ll get nothing else. There are no chemicals, or artificial anything. There is no dairy, gluten, soy or GMO.
- You get 20 servings in a 1 pound/440 gram jar making it a lot easier to store than premixed broths that must be refrigerated and take up much more space per serving.
- The flavor is great. I would describe it as a smooth, mild, generally good flavor. It is probably the best tasting bone broth I have tried.
Cons of Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder
- This stuff is messy. The powder is very fine and kind of sticky. It is easy to get it places you would rather not have it.
- Mixing is not as easy as some other powders. Naked recommends using a shaker bottle or a blender to mix. I tried to take a short cut and just stir it. That didn’t work very well so take the manufacturer’s advice for mixing.
- It retails for $39.99, which is more expensive than a lot of other options
Overall I think Naked Bone Broth Protein Powder is a quality product. With many years under my belt as both a coach and an athlete, I would certainly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy, flavorful, collagen-rich addition to their diet.
