What's the difference between plant-based protein over whey-based protein?

A lot of protein supplements are created using non-organic whey containing oestrogen, a predominantly female hormone, and lactose, which is very hard to digest. WelleCo Nourishing Plant Protein is a plant-based alternative, which uses organic sprouted brown rice and pea protein that provides all nine essential amino acids and has far superior utilisation and uptake into the cells and muscles than whey. Plant proteins generally absorb better and more easily than any product derived from dairy foods.  

What is the best way to use the green powder/protein powder?

I take two teaspoons of Super Elixir with 500ml of water every morning. It’s my perfect morning tonic because it is satisfying, tastes great and properly sets me up for the day. 

Nourishing Plant Protein is my go-to any time of day— breakfast, snack or mid-afternoon pick-me-up. I like to make a chocolate mousse, blitzing one scoop with half an avocado, filtered water and lots of ice. It's great for increasing my energy levels. 

What are your secrets to staying healthy and beautiful?

Over the years my idea of beauty has changed. Today, to me, wellness is beautiful. I believe health and true beauty radiates from within, and peace, happiness and health shows on a person’s face.

Ideally, my day begins quietly with meditation. Drinking enough water is vital for fuelling my energy, so I start each day with warm water and lemon, sometimes adding cayenne pepper to boost my metabolism. I follow with two teaspoons of Super Elixir in water and routinely drink three litres of water a day. 

Quality sleep can have a huge impact on my health, which is why I am a solid seven-hours-a-night girl. Before going to bed, I brew a pot of WelleCo Sleep Welle Calming Tea and spritz my pillows with WelleCo Sleep Welle Calming Mist. The lavender scent really adds to the sense of calm I try to create before bed.  

I firmly believe in detox steam and love the healing home sauna Therasage. I also body brush to stimulate the lymphatic system and exfoliate with WelleCo Japanese Green Tea Salt Scrub. Moisturising is very important, and I use La Mer The Moisturising Cream or Dr Sebagh, and Los Explorer as an organic solution.
