Why GoPrimal Protein Stands Out 🏆
You might have seen various protein options like concentrate or whey protein blends. But what's the difference between them and 100% hydrolyzed protein? Let's break it down.
Whey Protein Concentrate vs. Hydrolyzed: What's the Scoop? 🤔
Whey protein concentrate is the most affordable option because it undergoes fewer filtration stages. This means it still contains some fats, carbs, and lactose, which can be an issue for many.
GoPrimal's 100% hydrolyzed whey protein goes through extensive processing, including ultra-filtration, to remove all unwanted whey components like fat, carbs, and lactose. This results in a purified, high-protein product with minimal carbs and fat. This isn't just crucial for building lean muscle mass, but it also significantly aids digestion! Because your body doesn't have to break down a lot of fat or carbs, it absorbs much faster than concentrate or isolate, making our GoPrimal hydrolyzed whey protein one of the fastest-digesting and most effective forms. ✨
Grass-Fed Hydrolyzed Protein: Why Ireland? 🐄💚
Curious about our choice of Irish whey instead of organic options from regional producers?
Unfortunately, the idea of an "organic-milk-giving cow living a happy life" isn't always true. The average organic milk cow often lives in cramped conditions (around 10.5 square meters), and even tethered housing is allowed for small herds! 🐄 confining
In Ireland, the average herd size is only 70 cows. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the mild temperate climate and rich, lush meadows allow cows to stay outdoors for over 300 days a year! This ensures a better quality of life for the cows, which translates to superior protein for you. 🍀
When and Why Should You Take a Protein Shake? ⏰💪
Protein is vital for muscle production – without enough of it, our bodies can't build the structures that make up every cell, tissue, and organ.
While post-workout is a great time to get protein to your muscles to kickstart the healing of "micro tears" (tiny tears in muscle tissue from intense workouts), recent studies show that your total daily protein intake is just as crucial. Solid foods like chicken breast take longer to digest and break down protein. A protein shake, however, is absorbed in about 30 minutes, making it incredibly convenient immediately after a workout.
If you're one of those who prefers a few extra minutes of sleep over preparing breakfast, a protein shake is also a fantastic option as a morning snack or between meals. ☀️
Simple Ways to Boost Your Protein Intake! 🥗🥜
For a long time, it was believed that protein was essential right after a workout for muscle preservation and growth. However, recent studies highlight that total daily protein intake is equally important. If you're aiming to reduce body fat, sufficient protein is vital to maintain muscle mass and curb hunger, even during a caloric deficit. Aim for a serving of protein-rich food with every main meal. While you won't "lose your gains" if you don't eat immediately after training, it's a good idea to have a full meal within at least 2 hours of finishing your workout! 🍽️

Here are 4 easy ways to add more protein to your diet without resorting to boring shakes or dry chicken breast:
- Increase (protein) portion sizes. 🍽️ This is the simplest way to boost your protein. Just make your protein portions a bit larger. For example, if you normally eat 150g of salmon for dinner, try 175g. If your breakfast is Greek yogurt, add an extra spoonful or two.
- Drink a (delicious) protein shake. 🍹 Forget the typical "water and whey protein." Try blending frozen berries, a spoonful of almond butter or chia seeds, GoPrimal vanilla whey protein, oat or almond milk, and a handful of spinach. This shake provides all three macronutrients (protein, fats, and carbohydrates) plus essential micronutrients for a healthy immune system.
- Eat more legumes. 🍲 Legumes are excellent for hitting both your carb and protein goals simultaneously! They typically have a 2:1 carb-to-protein ratio. For instance, 100g of lentils contains about 10g of protein and 20g of carbs. Try mixing half rice and half lentils for a protein boost, or add garbanzo beans to your salads.
- Add protein to your breakfasts and/or snacks. 🍳🥨 We often overlook breakfast and snacks when thinking about protein. Common snacks tend to be low in protein (nuts, yogurt, fruit, rice cakes), and breakfast isn't much better. While a bowl of oatmeal with fruit is healthy, it often lacks the protein needed to keep you full until lunch. Try mixing some GoPrimal Chocolate Whey protein into your morning oatmeal, or swap yogurt for high-protein Skyr as a snack. Here’s a tasty idea: mix a scoop of GoPrimal Chocolate whey protein with a spoonful of milk and drizzle it over roasted sweet potatoes with cinnamon for a delicious snack! 🍠🍫
