More practical than carrying around shredded chicken or boiled eggs all day, the protein supplement is a great choice for anyone who trains and seeks to maintain a Balanced diet. Whether in powder form, bars or even a ready-made shake, anyone on the fitness team has probably already tried it. And the high demand for the product seems to have already had an effect on the market — new products keep appearing, even for those who do not consume anything of animal origin or have food restriction. Check it out:

gourmet whey protein

For those who don’t know, whey protein is nothing more than whey protein usually from the dairy industry, which previously discarded the liquid without knowing its properties. So, you can rest assured: it has nothing to do with a synthetic item full of hormones that many people still preach. It can be divided into three types: concentrate, which contains 35 to 80% protein in its composition; the isolated, which gathers more than 90%; and the hydrolyzate, rich in proteins broken into small parts (peptides), which facilitates its absorption. For a long time, we got tired of finding only three options on the market whey protein: strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Glad that changed! Today, it is not difficult to find the most unusual flavors around, all following the new gourmet wave that promises to conquer the most demanding palates.

This option, from the G2L brand, is for those who love a sweet treat. In lemon pie flavor, Whey Protein Limited Edition G2L is a concentrate with about 25 grams of protein in every 40 g of product (2 scoops). sweetened with sucralosecan also be found in honey bread and white chocolate versions.
