Deal of the Day
I’ve been using this protein powder as my go-to post-workout supplement for over a year now — I usually use 1-2 scoops, with each scoop containing 24 grams of 100% whey protein, according to the brand. It’s designed to help support muscle recovery and growth, and is low in sugar, carbs and fat, making it fully focused on delivering protein without too many additives. It also includes naturally occurring amino acids, like leucine and valine, to help with muscle building and strength, (when combined with regular strength training, according to the brand). It’s easy to mix, dissolving quickly in my water — or vanilla oat milk, when I want something sweeter to sip — without any sludge or clumping when I shake it in my blender bottle.
However, my favorite thing about this protein powder is the taste — while most protein supplements have a chalky and off-putting flavor, the vanilla ice cream flavor of this powder is sweet and yummy, and is available in over 15 other flavors.
