KETO VERDICTYES

Casein protein powder is keto-friendly, with ~8g net carbs per 100g (≈3g per 33g scoop) and ~73g protein. Unlike whey’s fast absorption, casein is slow-digesting for sustained amino acid release—great for nighttime or between-meal protein while maintaining ketosis.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Low net carb content (~8g/100g, ≈3g per 33g scoop) is highly keto-compatible
  • Slow-digesting protein provides ~6–8 hours of amino acid release
  • Complete amino acid profile supports muscle synthesis and recovery
  • Ideal pre-bed or between meals to prevent overnight muscle breakdown
  • This item contains the nutrients or compounds listed above; evidence for specific health outcomes depends on dose, preparation, and individual context.
  • Useful during intermittent fasting windows to preserve lean mass

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

NIGHTTIME SHAKE

Blend with Heavy Cream and keto sweetener before bed to sustain amino acid availability overnight.

KETO BAKING

Use unflavored casein to add structure/protein to low-carb muffins, brownies, or pancakes.

POST-WORKOUT MIX

Combine with Whey Protein (fast) for immediate + sustained amino delivery.

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BARS
