Add it to water, blend it in a smoothie, or mix into your coffee or shake any time of the day! Our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ disperses easily in hot and cold liquids and is stable at high temperatures. We recommend you mix 2 scoops (1 serving) with 8-10 ounces of your preferred beverage or meal daily or as recommended by your health care practitioner. If pregnant or lactating, consult your health care practitioner before using this product. 

That’s honestly up to you! You can personalize when to take grass-fed whey protein isolate+ at any point in the day. For example, some choose to take whey protein at or around the time of a workout in order to take advantage of whey protein’s unique properties to support synthesis and maintenance of lean muscle mass, while also supporting exercise recovery. Other people incorporate their whey protein into other time points of their nutrition ritual separate from their movement routine.

Absolutely, we have many customers who include grass-fed whey protein isolate+ into their daily nutrition ritual. After all, hitting protein needs can be challenging, especially if you’re aiming to consume enough protein to support optimal health, for example building and maintaining healthy muscles throughout life (i.e., experts believe this amount to be 100 grams or more for most adults). Our high-quality, whey protein isolate is a convenient and great-tasting way to ensure you are consuming this essential macronutrient (i.e., protein) every day. You’ll get an impressive 25 grams of grass-fed whey protein per serving. Our delicious grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is not only great for the exercise enthusiast but also those looking for a tasty way to up their protein intake! 

Our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ delivers an impressive 25 grams of protein per each serving (2 scoops). Each 25-gram protein serving features 18 unique and naturally occurring amino acids (no spiking here!), including all 9 essential amino acids like those all-important BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Our whey protein isolate is highly bioavailable and provides you with a complete protein for optimal absorption and for optimizing your body’s use.*

Absolutely, each 25-gram serving of protein from grass-fed whey protein isolate+ features 18 naturally-occurring amino acids, including all 9 essential amino acids, like powerhouse branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Not to mention these BCAAs are naturally occuring, not spiked (unlike some other protein powders on the market, eek!), with over 6 grams of BCAAs and enough leucine (2.5 grams) to trigger muscle protein synthesis.*

In this product, we chose whey protein isolate for a reason: it’s the best. There are two main forms of whey protein, concentrate and isolate. Both forms offer a source of complete proteins sourced from dairy (complete, because they contain all nine essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine). The main differences between the whey protein isolate and concentrate is that whey protein isolate is a more filtered (i.e., more isolated and purified) form of whey protein, which results in a higher protein amount, as well as lower lactose, fat, and carbohydrate content. 

Sufficient protein intake is critical for supporting optimal health and well-being. And let’s face it, it might be easy to skirt by with an adequate protein intake, but who wants to aim for the minimum (i.e., prevent deficiency)? In fact, it's difficult for most people to meet their optimal daily protein needs at a level that supports whole-body health and a long life! This daily macronutrient is backed by a vast body of decades of research supporting its key benefits on health including supporting healthy muscle growth and maintenance, exercise recovery, cardiometabolic health, a healthy weight, immunity, brain health, healthy inflammatory balance, and graceful aging.* 

mindbodygreen’s grass-fed whey protein isolate+ delivers a delicious and convenient way to support your daily protein needs and goals. Each 25-gram protein serving features 18 naturally occurring amino acids, including impressive levels (6+ grams) of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Not only do you receive a high-quality, complete, and bioavailable protein source but grass-fed whey protein isolate+ provides a clean and lean excipient list for the ultimate taste profile. You won’t find any fillers, artificial flavors, or sweeteners. Just clean and minimal ingredients, delivering everything you look for in a whey protein and nothing you don’t!

Muscle mass declines with age and is a determinant of healthy aging and a long life. Historically, men have been more hyper-focused on protein intake for the health of their muscles, but protein is just as important for women at every age! Indeed, protein is critical for our muscles, but this nutrient should not be thought of as only useful before or after workouts (although it’s certainly helpful during those times!). In fact, protein is a whole-body critical, essential macronutrient. Like fiber intake or vitamin D, a daily protein ritual is supporting so many organs and physiological pathways in your body – everything from immunity (producing antibodies) and the health of your hair (thickness, strength, and not shedding too much), to muscle maintenance, metabolism, and more – throughout life.*

Consuming a wide variety of high-quality protein sources in your daily diet from animals and plants is an important nutritional foundation. But hitting protein needs can be challenging, especially if you’re aiming to consume enough protein to support optimal health, for example building and maintaining healthy muscles throughout life (i.e., experts believe this amount to be 100 grams or more for most adults). Our high-quality, whey protein isolate is a convenient (25 grams of protein per serving), clean, and great-tasting way to ensure you are consuming this whole-body, all-star nutrient (i.e., protein) every day!

No. Our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ contains no fillers. You also won’t find artificial flavors or sweeteners, flavoring chemicals (excluding flavors is quite rare for a protein powder), synthetic dyes, stevia, HFCS, gums, or sugar alcohols. Our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is a stand out when it comes to clean and minimal ingredients. Both our vanilla and chocolate varieties feature 6 clean ingredients, all thoughtfully sourced. We also feature many organic ingredients. In addition to our premium whey, you’ll find organic vanilla extract (in the vanilla variety), organic cocoa extract (in the chocolate variety), pink Himalayan salt, organic monk fruit extract, organic cinnamon bark powder, and organic bamboo extract for the best tasting protein powder without any of the junk. We worked hard to thoughtfully source the best ingredients for the best you. Hitting your protein goals never tasted so good!

Our high-quality formulas are delivered in premium, sustainable, and recyclable packaging (recyclable amber glass bottles and jars, recyclable bags, and recyclable cardboard shipping boxes made from 100% recycled paper). Always looking towards the latest innovations, we carefully and intentionally source our eco-friendly packaging to prioritize the environment, but also to protect the premium ingredients in our capsules, gelcaps, and powders (i.e., vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, probiotics, bioactives) from UV light degradation. This is pivotal to ensure quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the product. 

Unfortunately many refillable bags or containers do not provide the same protection and stability for our ingredients as our amber glass (bottles, jars) and PET bags achieve. What's more, the product-specific manufacturing information (i.e., specific identifiers such as the lot and date) stamped on each product would be lost when the customer discards the refill packaging, as is customary. That lost information would not enable us to comply with a variety of very important FDA regulations specific to dietary supplements (e.g., cGMPs, adverse event reporting, etc.), and regulatory compliance is something that mindbodygreen respects and prioritizes. From an additional safety standpoint, there are also microbial contamination concerns with refillable vessels over time. Thank you for your consideration as to why we have thoughtfully curated our packaging in the way we do.

Yes! We worked hard to find the highest quality protein – our premium whey protein isolate is sourced from grass-fed cows from Ireland and the Netherlands. And these are happy cows who enjoy year-round, free-range grazing and daily pasture access! With no added hormones (including rBST), antibiotics, pesticides or solvents, you can rest assured that this protein is doing your body good!

No, whey is sourced from dairy, so our protein powder supplement is not vegan as it contains dairy (milk). However, our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is vegetarian, GMO-free, soy-free, gluten-free, grass-fed, with no added hormones (including rBST), antibiotics, pesticides, solvents, artificial sweeteners, flavor chemicals, or other bad stuff!
