PowerBar was kind enough to send me some samples of their new “Protein Drink Mix.” LOL. Basically, protein powder. I guess this is more marketed for folks unfamiliar or intimidated by protein powder? In any case, they sent me vanilla and chocolate varieties. Each scoop contains 20 g protein, 7 g carbs, 2 g fats, and 130 calories. The chocolate one tastes really good, but the vanilla one tastes not-so-hot. Altogether, a fine product.
Here’s some info from their website:
You work out hard, make it count†. Taking protein after strength training helps your body build and repair muscle tissue. The three types of protein in the TriSource™ blend are digested at different rates to provide muscles with sustained amino acid delivery. Take one serving 30–60 minutes after working out to help build lean muscle.
NOTICE: Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction.
