Myprotein Casein Powder
What it is
This is a powdered supplement derived from milk. Casein is one of the two main proteins found in milk, the other being whey. It is known for its slow digestion rate, which means it releases amino acids into the body over an extended period.
How people cook with it
It can be mixed with liquids or added to other foods.
- Mixed with water or milk

- Blended into oatmeal
- Incorporated into baked goods
To prepare, combine a serving of the powder with your preferred liquid, such as water, milk, or a milk alternative, in a shaker bottle or glass. Shake or stir until well combined and smooth. It can also be added to other recipes. Experiment with different liquids and recipes to find your preferred method of consumption.
How it differs from similar foods
This difference in absorption rate is a key distinction. Casein forms a gel-like substance in the stomach, leading to a more gradual release of amino acids over several hours.
How to keep the rest
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. Proper storage helps preserve the quality of the powder for future use.
