ProteinPlus Protein Powder Drink Mix - Canister

You go to great lengths to ensure that your body's nutritiously fueled and hydrated for century rides, but what are you doing to recover? You can either buy a $200 dollar pair of recovery tights, or you can simply give your body what it craves. The PowerBar ProteinPlus Protein Powder Drink Mix makes your workouts count by providing a calculated blend of proteins to aid in muscle recovery and growth. This vegetarian, low-calorie supplement tastes great and get's the job done. There's no reason to be sore anymore.

There are a number of misconceptions in the field of resistance-workout recovery, both from scientists and enthusiasts alike. Sports physiologists have a tendency to overload their athletes with supplemental protein, and athletes have a tendency to blindly follow the advice of the people that they pay to the letter. However, recent studies have arrived at the conclusion that post-workout tissue recovery is maximized at the 20g level of protein. And being at the forefront of the sports nutrition, PowerBar has adopted this level to its ProteinPlus formula. Using PowerBar's TriSource protein blend of whey, soy, and casein, the ProteinPlus formula is absorbed at different rates in order to provide a steady supply of amino acids to the body. The constant flow of amino acids aids in the repair of muscle tissue, reduces breakdown, and helps to build lean muscle growth. The ProteinPlus formula also dispels the practice of pairing protein intake with an elevated consumption of carbohydrates. While carbs are necessary to replenish depleted glycogen stores during exercise, they don't assist in muscle protein synthesis. PowerBar's formula uses a minimal amount of carbs, and the result is a low, 130 calorie full serving of protein.

With ProteinPlus, your post-workout ritual couldn't be easier. 30 to 60 minutes after your workout, simply mix one scoop of the formula with eight ounces of water, shake, and reap the benefits. 

The PowerBar ProteinPlus Canister is available in one 495g size and in the flavors Chocolate and Vanilla.
