The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Designer Whey.
Today is a very special day for the folks over at Designer Whey. It’s their 20th Anniversary, and they are sharing the love by giving away a ton of free goodies (but we’ll get to that in a minute).
I remember my 20th birthday. It was a huge milestone and start of a new era in my life. I realize that using the word era is a bit dramatic, but it couldn’t describe the changes I went through any better.
You see, the age of twenty is when something clicked inside of me. Working out became something I started to look forward to and eating healthy became something I wanted to learn more about. I’m pretty sure this is the year I also tried my first real protein bar. As a dancer in college, we had access to a handful of trainers and nutritionists and it only took a few conversations and trainings sessions to realize that healthy living was going to be a permanent lifestyle for me.
Today, I am a professional dancer and self appointed girl-on-the-go. Although I work from home during the day, I like to put my meals together quickly and rely on healthy snacks for fuel before, during, and after workouts or practices. I will admit to having at least one kind of protein supplement product (whether it be a bar, shake, powder, or smoothie) every single day. Most days that number climbs up to three.
You get it. I have a special relationship with protein products, so you can only imagine how ecstatic I am to share this post with you!
20 Min. Fast + Furious Interval Sprints Treadmill Workout
In honor of their celebration, I have kicked the excitement off with a killer workout designed to make you break a sweat in 20 minutes or less. It’s meant to be done on an incline and to push you harder and harder as time goes by.
I know… sneaky sneaky!
*As with any elliptical or treadmill workout I post, please keep in mind that each machine is different. These are the levels I use for my personal workouts, but feel free to adjust to lower or higher when needed.
My Designer Whey Story
I first encountered Designer Whey as part of a campaign for FitFluential. I had seen the powders pop up in recipes all over the blogosphere and was excited to get my hands on it! Since then, I have done another review for their Sustained Energy Protein Powder and continue to use the leftovers I have in my pantry to this day.
My go-to product of theirs is the powders. Their variety of flavors is unreal and I wouldn’t mind trying every single one of them. My favorite way to use the powders is in every day treats like cookies or muffins.
Check out my Chocolate Chip Cookie Protein Balls and Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Mini Muffins!
On a more regular basis, I use powders to make protein smoothies.
There are so many drool worthy smoothie recipes on their website. Check out a few of my best creations including the Banana Split Protein Smoothie, Double Chocolate Light Peanut Butter Smoothie, and Sweet + Simple Green Smoothie.
Along with the powders, I have enjoyed their whey protein bars on several occasions. Each flavor tastes light enough to enjoy as a snack, rather than a meal replacement, which is what most protein bars do for me. At 170 calories or less, I like that I can sneak one in at any time of the day or even for dessert, if I choose that route.
I have taken a seriously liking to their protein shakes which says a lot coming from me. I am a bit of a protein shake snob, and do not like the majority of them out there!
Their Protein 2GO drink mix helped me experienced true protein powder convenience. I found the fruity flavors refreshing and you can still spot me drinking a colored Protein 2GO water bottle in and out of the gym from time to time.
In a nutshell, there isn’t anything I have tried from them that I haven’t loved!
Celebrating something special like their 20th Anniversary is great, but here’s where reading this post becomes truly intriguing for you…

Christa @ Situps & Sequins
Holy Giveaway! I literally could not live without my protein powder (I know, so dramatic). I use it for everything- smoothies, protein cookies/muffins and my favorite on-the-go option, homemade protein bars. Protein powder was also a great on-the-go option when I was cheering, because I would go straight to practice from work, and it was so easy to add water, shake and voila, a meal in a cup! 🙂

I LOVE DESIGNER WHEY!! I love making protein bars and protein smoothies using their protein powders. My favorite is the french vanilla!!
Ashley {Whole Foods New Body}
I started “eating clean” earlier this year and looked every where for a protein powder that wasn’t artificially sweetened! This is not easy to find!! Luckily I found Designer Whey in my local grocery store and decided to give it a try! I have used it ever since!! I have also been featured in their monthly newsletter! Great company and Great Products!!
Amber
I am new to the protein supplement world. A new mom to a 1-yr old, I’m searching for new healthy habits.
I keep a stash of raw almonds EVERYWHERE (office, purse, nightstand). When I get that tinge of hunger and can’t stop thinking about bad things, I get my paws on some almonds, and it *usually* keeps my mind at ease until I can get to a healthy meal.
jenna
I love designer whey protein and using it in smoothies and muffin recipes!

I love protein powders because they are so versatile. Making shakes is my favorite but I love baking with them also.

My favorite on the go protein products are on-the-go shakes or the protein bars. I love designer whey protein and have just switched over to using this protein powder.

As much as I would love to get my protein from whole food sources, being busy and having the desire to build muscle I rely on protein powders. Designer Whey is great because it gives me the results and the support I need in my quest to become stronger. And on top of that it actually is a powder that tastes good!!
Sam
I love think thin bars- with coffee as a morning snack or to get me through the afternoon! Nothing like chunky peanut butter flavor!!
Jordan D
My favorite post-workout snack lately has been a scoop of Designer Whey with a little almond milk and some greek yogurt, then stuck in the freezer for about an hour or so. IT turns into protein ice cream and it’s amazing!
