Protein Powder

Protein Powder is a concentrated protein supplement commonly used in shakes and baking to boost protein intake; blends like this often combine whey, soy and wheat proteins and are sold in flavored varieties. It is primarily valued for its high protein content — 80g of protein per 100g — which makes it useful for muscle recovery and increasing daily protein intake. As a processed blend, it delivers a strong amino-acid profile and some added micronutrients typical of fortified powders, but it contains little fiber and is an ultra-processed product, so pairing it with whole-foods (fruit, oats, milk) can improve satiety and overall nutrition.
