Yummy Whey Protein Berry Buttermilk by Vit4ever
Red berries with the fresh tang of buttermilk, in a shake that is ready in half a minute. Berry Buttermilk is the fruity side of the Yummy range. This whey protein from Vit4ever is made for anyone who finds chocolate and caramel too overpowering and prefers to throw something light in the shaker. The bag contains 908 grams of powder with added lactase, good for about thirty shakes. No hassle with blenders or complicated recipes, unless you actually fancy that.
Berries and buttermilk: fresh instead of sweet
Most protein shakes rely on dessert flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or cookie dough. Berry Buttermilk takes a different approach. The combination of red fruit with a hint of buttermilk gives a shake that is more reminiscent of a summer fruit drink than a dessert. That fresh-tart edge also ensures that the taste does not become boring, even if you drink it daily. With cold water, the shake remains light and thirst-quenching, pleasant after a sweaty endurance run or a workout on a hot day. Mix it with milk, then the whole thing shifts towards fruity yogurt. And by the way: a scoop through your cottage cheese or skyr with some fresh berries immediately makes your breakfast a high-protein start. Those who like making smoothies throw in a handful of frozen fruit and half a banana and have a fruity protein shake ready in a minute. Even in porridge or overnight oats, half a scoop gives a light fruity twist to your breakfast. This is how you get more out of a bag than just the standard shake after exercise.
Whey protein from grass-fed German cows
The base of this protein powder is whey protein concentrate from the milk of grass-fed German cows, exactly as it says on the bag. Whey is the part of milk that remains during cheese production, and it naturally provides a complete amino acid profile with all the EAAs and BCAAs. Many athletes drink their shake around the workout, as a supplement to regular meals. You can literally take the wording at face value: proteins contribute to an increase in muscle mass and proteins contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass. It doesn't stop there, because proteins contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Whether you are hanging on the barbell three times a week or covering kilometers on the racing bike, with a shake you easily top up your daily protein intake. Handy for those who keep track of their intake: many athletes aim for a large portion of protein at every meal, and especially on busy days that often gets overlooked. A shake fills such a gap without you having to cook.
Protein content per flavor: here is how it works
Vit4ever gives every flavor of Yummy Whey its own recipe. The nutritional values therefore differ slightly per variant, although the manufacturer guarantees at least 65 grams of protein per 100 grams of powder for the entire range. For Berry Buttermilk, the supplier currently does not publish a separate nutritional table, so you read the exact values per serving on the label of your bag. What does apply to the entire line: the powder is a concentrate that is obtained from fresh milk via ultrafiltration. That filtering process removes a large part of the fat and the milk sugar, while the creamy taste and the smooth solubility are preserved. In short: a lot of protein per scoop, little frills around it.
Lactase is included as standard
Vit4ever adds the enzyme lactase to the powder. Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose, the natural milk sugar that is in every dairy product. You find the same enzyme in lactose-free milk from the supermarket. The addition does not change the taste or the texture of the powder. Good to know: whey protein remains dairy, even with added lactase. With a cow's milk allergy, this shake is therefore not suitable. If you have doubts about your situation, read the label first or ask your doctor.
Berry Buttermilk is the fresh exception among the dessert flavors: red fruit and buttermilk instead of chocolate and caramel. If you are looking for a whey protein that drinks lightly after a hard workout or on a hot day, then this is the flavor to try. And with 908 grams in the bag, you will last for weeks.
