ABOUT ME



Tack för ditt besök! Gracias por visitar! Καλωσορίσατε! Bienvenue! Willkommen! 

Welcome to my blog: Protein POW! dot com ;-) 

Let me start by telling you how it all started: Protein Pow was founded by yours truly, Anna Sward, in late January of 2011. It was born one day, when, chatting to my friend Stina, she suggested I start a blog as a break from my (unrelated to fitness and nutrition) PhD. 

"You need a creative outlet to maintain your sanity while you work on finishing your thesis!" she said and I agreed. Also, I thought, what better way to flex one's writing muscles than by actually writing on a daily basis, even if it is about something completely different? 

But right away I ran into a problem: I didn't know what to write about. Diary-type blogging didn't inspire me and I didn't think tracking the minutia of my daily thoughts would make for engaging writing - let alone reading...

"Well," Stina said, "what do you LOVE to do in your free time?" This blog is my answer ;-) It's born out of my dedication to three interdependent passions: exercise (i.a. weightlifting), cooking (healthy and finger-lickingly-delicious food), and (functional) nutrition! In a nutshell, it's a blog devoted to healthy protein powder-based recipes. It's just  me playing around with my protein powders, coming up with recipes for them, and generally making a (relative) mess out of my kitchen before and after every workout - from kitchen to war-zone to kitchen again. 


After I finished my PhD in 2012, I created Protein Pow Ltd - a company designed to support the blog's rapidly expanding mission and promote the growth protein pow(d)ered cuisine. Since then, I have featured in several magazines (see here for a sample of them) and healthy living, fitness and wellness websites (i.a. spry.com, cutandjacked.com, trimmedandtoned.com). I've also given several protein cooking workshops (here's a gallery) and am now also a feature writer and regular columnist at Bodybuilding.com (click here to access my articles and column) as well as a feature writer for Muscle & Fitness magazine (in six European countries). So... yeah! Thank you for stopping by at www.proteinpow.com! If you have any questions (business or cooking-related), feel free to drop me an e-mail at proteinpowdr@gmail.com and connect with me at LinkedIn here.
