For Goodness Shakes have launched their own protein waters in four flavours and sent me some to review.
Two being made from spring water, Blackcurrant and Mango and Orange, the other two being made using coconut water which again come in the Mango and Orange and a Tropical flavour.
If you haven't heard of For Goodness Shakes it's a brand that helps recovery from exercise and doesn't taste like arse!
How could I not love a product line an equally brilliant brand name as Bone Idol Fitness?
If you are in Leeds then your best bet to find For Goodness Shakes is to head to Sainsburys but they can also be found lining the shelves of Morrisons, One stops and even Boots.
Don't let the fact you can buy them from your supermarket fool you into thinking these shakes don't do their job.
For Goodness Shakes are all about convenience, from buying to drinking them.

No need to go to a specialist protein shop and no need to do any mixing when you come to drink it, you can pick up a bottle along with your toilet roll, deodorant and your dinner which will be incredibly health I am sure!

On to the review.
I was asked if I would like to review the spring water versions or the coconut water ones and since coconut waters popularity doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon I opted to review those.
You get 10g of protein in each bottle of coconut protein water, a large egg only has 6grams.
The spring water versions have 20g of protein but of course because of this it increases the calorie count but still there is only 30kcals between the two.
The coconut water has 26 fewer calories than a large egg so it's win win so far, plus you are not consuming any fat or cholesterol by choosing to skip Gaston's favourite post workout drink.
There are other protein waters out there on the market, however I have not tasted, mainly because the ones I have come across I would have specifically order in and I am not about that life.
Nutritionally the products I have come across are about the same.
I did come across a protein coconut water that had double the protein but it also had almost triple the calories.
I am all about convenience which, thankfully, For Goodness Shakes is also all about.
On to the taste test.
I was really hoping I was going to love the taste of the coconut water but I have say it was a bit lack lustre for me, like Muscle Mousse I found I could taste the sweetener giving the drink an artificial taste.
Normally when I drink coconut water my mouth feels instantly refreshed but I didn't get that from either of the flavours, although I would say I liked the Mango and Orange more than the Tropical.
I didn't hate either drink but I am am far from loving them.
I did finish them both though, for me the flavours weren't great or terrible just alright.
I personally will stick to drinking For Goodness Shakes milk shake line and will probably give the coconut water a pass unless I was going to experiment with it in smoothie.
I do still intend on trying the spring water flavours when I next come across them though.
Don't like my opinions put you off trying For Goodness Shakes coconut water, you may love the taste!
If you are a fan of flavoured waters in general then you will probably enjoy the protein coconut water.
The product is a great idea and the nutritional content is there to support your recovery.
Whey isolate will give you fast acting protein and leucine which is a slow release protein that will keep fuelling your recovery for longer.
