One of the best habits I ever got into was exercise and lifting weights. After initially starting to basically just calm down the insane caveman living inside my brain, lifting weights has become something I look forward to as part of my daily routine. In order to lift or exercise effectively, you need to supplement your diet with additional protein to help your muscles and body recover. This, of course, means you need to find a protein supplement that fits your own needs while also not tasting like a mix between sidewalk chalk and cough syrup. I have tried a ton of protein powders at this point, and Myprotein’s Whey Forward is a breath of fresh air.
Whey Forward is a new protein supplement from the well-known brand that focuses not just on creating a quality supplement, but doing so without the use of any animal products. However, the protein is not also directly derived from plants either. The protein is made by fermenting small organisms with plant sugars to replicate whey-style protein. This leads to higher quality protein in comparison to many other plant-based formulas So, despite being extremely similar to whey protein, the product is completely lactose-free, which is huge for the lactose intolerant (like myself) who have just been farting through our whey protein all this time. This also means that the protein powder is 100% vegetarian.
