Muscle development, strength, and an enhanced metabolism are just some of the advantages of using protein powder. This small addition to a post-exercise regimen can revolutionise muscle recovery, making it an essential part of many people's daily routines.

A fresh brand is making waves in the health and fitness sector - Selfish, designed specifically for women's wellness, and it's now available in the UK, costing £29.99 for a one time purchase or £24.65 for a subscription. Boots is now stocking the brand, which was developed by Australian social media stars, the Hembrow sisters.

The collection's purpose is to assist users in prioritising their wellbeing. Designed to bolster women's health and fitness goals, protein forms a crucial component of the new range.

This includes its Give Me Plant Protein Powder, which contains 20g of protein in each serving. A silky powder, prepared like any other to be mixed into a post-jog smoothie or basic shake, this plant-based alternative is formulated from pea, brown rice, and hemp protein.

Beyond being rich in plant-based powder, it contains components that the brand claims are "easy on the tummy". It features added prebiotic fibre, another element targeted at promoting digestive wellness.

For those looking for alternatives, there are numerous choices available. Among these are the Impact Whey Protein Powder from My Protein, which retails at £13.99 and comes in various flavours, providing 23g of protein per scoop.

There's also the Wellwoman Vitabiotics Wellwoman 50+ 30 Tablets on offer at Holland and Barrett for £10.49, ideal for vegetarians wanting to boost their brain, heart, and vision wellness.

Back to Selfish, muscle strength, recovery, and sculpting are amongst the key advantages of consuming protein powders, yet Selfish users are reporting an extra benefit - reduced bloating, reports the Mirror. One reviewer commented: "It's really helped with my bloating. I have tried so many gut powders and they all taste so gross. I have been taking this for the last week and I am obsessed with the flavour."

Another person highlighted the benefit they've experienced for their stomach, explaining it helps them remain satisfied. They said: "I've been sipping it straight after lunch when I need that sweet hit.

"I find that it fills me up and takes away the craving. Also, it's completely delicious."

Additional feedback from customers who've sampled it featured glowing remarks about the taste. With 'no chalky texture' and sweet flavours one buyer said it "tastes amazing in smoothies or even with just water and ice"..

It's suggested to mix one scoop into 250ml of water, though some reviewers felt this quantity wasn't sufficient. One buyer said: "One scoop is a bit too selfish. I needs a couple for it to really make a difference in taste."

Selfish's range of plant-based protein supplements are available on their website.
