With climate change continually in the news, we’re all looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Whether it be cycling more, walking to work or even trying to reduce our meat consumption, there are plenty of small changes which can make a big difference. But it’s not easy, right?
Leading an active lifestyle often only compounds that struggle. For those of us looking for a quick macro boost after training, whey protein is often what we reach for first. After all, it’s an exceptionally healthy source of protein and can be utilised efficiently by our bodies.
But as we all know, whey protein comes from milk, milk comes from cows, and cows are a big contributor to global warming, with the livestock industry responsible for around 14.5 % of global greenhouse gas emissions.
So, what if I told you MyProtein has developed a forward-thinking formula that contains all the benefits of whey, without the unfortunate atmospheric by-product?
Whey Forward is an animal-free and environmentally friendly protein powder and it does just that. Moreover, it has been personally tested and highly recommended by the Gymfluencers team.
How does it all work?
Before we get into the product itself, let’s take a look at how it’s possible to make a whey-imitating formula without milk. MyProtein Whey Forward is made by using a four-step fermentation process. Tiny organisms called microflora are fed simple plant sugars, which they convert into dairy-identical protein. Pretty cool, huh?
Key benefits
Aside from the obvious green perks, this innovative formula contains 20g of protein and 4.7g of BCAAS per serving. It’s also sugar, lactose and hormone-free while maintaining that same creamy flavour we all know and love. This is a great alternative if your body and lactose don’t agree.
What does MyProtein Whey Forward taste like?
The important caveat with all replacement products is whether or not they can stand up to the taste test. So many powders, bars and formulas are branded as the perfect alternative to dairy but, in reality, flatter to deceive. So, going into this review I was desperate to like Whey Forward.
And do you know what? I thoroughly enjoyed it. This has been billed as a ‘game-changing’ protein by MyProtein, and it really is. Each shake is as creamy and delicious as your usual whey protein, just animal-free.
For my taste, there was also a great selection of flavours in Creamy Mint Chocolate, Decadent Chocolate Brownie and Rich Salted Caramel. Each felt as sinful as the last, which is even better when you have the added joy of knowing there’s nothing naughty about it.
Let’s talk price
A 10-serving tub will cost you $32.99, while a 20-serving tub is priced at $51.99 – meaning it pays to go for the bulk option. Besides, you’ll fly through 10 servings before you know it. To grab yours, head to the MyProtein website.
