Whey Protein Powder
Whey Protein Powder is a milk-derived protein powder made from whey, the liquid left after cheese production. It’s commonly mixed into shakes and smoothies, and also used in baking or stirred into oatmeal and yogurt for an easy protein boost. It is especially known for its very high protein content, with 80g per 100g, while staying relatively low in carbohydrates and providing only modest fat. It also contributes small amounts of nutrients such as riboflavin, vitamin B12, and selenium. Because it supplies a concentrated, complete protein, it can be a practical option for supporting muscle repair and helping meals feel more filling. As a processed supplement, it’s best used as part of an overall balanced diet rather than as a replacement for whole foods.
