What casein is best for
Casein is a milk protein that digests more slowly than whey. Many people use it in the evening, between meals, or anytime they want a thicker shake that feels more filling.
Casein buying checklist
- Micellar casein: often used for “slow release” style products (check the label).
- Protein per serving: many sit around the mid‑20 g range.
- Texture: casein is usually thicker than whey — great for puddings, not always great if you want a thin shake.
- Sweeteners & flavour: casein can be sweet; choose based on your preferences.
- Allergens: it’s dairy, and some include soy lecithin.
Jamie’s Tip: If you hate thick shakes, try mixing casein with extra water, or use it in oats/yoghurt instead of drinking it.
