Our Favorite Protein Powders that Power Our Day

We know you’re inundated with “protein” marketing messages today. It can be overwhelming, intimidating, and confusing, we get it. For our in-person customers, we’re always happy to provide personalized recommendations and information about the different types of proteins we offer, how they work, and what they’re best for. But if you’re looking for quick suggestions that have been tested by the team, then look no further. 

Here are are three of our favorite protein powders: 

HumaPro by ALR Industries

HumaPro is a vegan-friendly, clean formula that’s Ava’s personal favorite! It’s designed to support muscle repair, post-workout recovery, strength, and endurance, with a formulated blend of essential amino acids, as stated by ALR Industries. Plus, with only 0.02 calories per serving, it makes for a calorie-smart option for anyone needing or wanting to increase their daily protein intake.

No gluten, sugar, soy, dairy, or animal products are used in this powder, making it a great, clean protein, and just one of the many reasons we include it in our protein smoothies. 

Ava’s favorite flavors: Strawberry Kiwi, Peach Mango, and Rocket Pop 

Axe & Sledge’s Farm Fed Protein

Another team favorite comes from a brand we’ve carried for years! Axe & Sledge’s Farm Fed 100% whey protein isolate is packed with 25g of protein per serving, plus 100mg of Digeseb® digestive enzymes to help your body actually use it.

But what really makes this stand out to us? It mixes well with everything, and doesn’t leave us feeling bloated afterwards. Not to mention it’s low fat, low carb, low sugar, non-GMO, and naturally loaded with BCAAs and essential amino acids. Simple, clean, quality. 

Audrey’s favorite flavor: Peanut Butter N’ Honey

Phormula-1 Clear from 1ST PHORM

Finally, the Phormula-1 Clear whey protein isolate from 1ST PHORM is a game-changer. We can hardly keep certain flavors on our shelves! If you’ve ever had a hard time with thicker, chalky protein drinks, Phormula-1 is a light, refreshing, “juice-like” option. 

With just six ingredients, this powder provides 22g of protein per serving and 5g of BCAAs with 0g of carbs, fat, and sugar. It’s easy to digest while supporting you post-workout, before the gym, or as needed during your day. 

Julie’s favorite flavor: Sherbert
