01 Types of Protein Shake Mixes:
Whey Protein:
- Concentrate: Contains about 70-80% protein with some fats and carbohydrates. It’s economical and often has a rich flavor.
- Isolate: Offers around 90% protein with minimal fats and carbohydrates. It’s rapidly absorbed and is ideal for those needing quick post-workout nutrition.
- Hydrolyzed: Predigested for faster absorption and reduced allergenicity. It’s a good choice for those with lactose intolerance or sensitive stomachs.
Casein Protein:
- Micellar Casein: Provides slow digestion and sustained amino acid release. It’s ideal for overnight recovery or extended periods without food.
- Casein Hydrolysate: Partially hydrolyzed for faster absorption compared to micellar casein, but still provides a slow, steady release of amino acids.
Soy Protein:
- Isolate: Offers a high protein content with minimal fats and carbohydrates. It’s effective for muscle growth and repair.
- Concentrate: Contains slightly less protein but provides additional phytoestrogens and fiber.
Pea Protein:
- Isolate: Highly digestible and hypoallergenic with a high protein content, making it suitable for various dietary needs.
- Blends: Often combined with other plant proteins to enhance the amino acid profile and improve taste.
Hemp Protein:
- Raw Hemp Protein: Retains natural fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, offering additional nutritional benefits beyond protein.
- Processed Hemp Protein: Refined to increase protein content and improve texture, while still providing essential fatty acids.
Egg White Protein:
- Powder: High in protein with low fat and carbs. It’s an excellent option for those avoiding dairy and seeking high-quality protein.
