Protein First. Everything Else Second.
When athletes ask us to compare protein powders, the first place we look isn’t the flavour or the front label.
It’s the nutrition information panel.
Our Ensure vs Whey Protein Isolate Review provides a good example.
Ensure Original Powder provides 9 g protein from a 57 g serve.
Propel Health Whey Protein Isolate provides 25.1 g from 30 g.
By weight, that’s approximately 15.8% protein versus 83.6% protein.
Ensure has a different purpose, providing carbohydrate, fat and micronutrients alongside protein.
But if your objective is simply increasing high-quality dietary protein, those additional ingredients aren’t the metric you’re shopping for.
Check the protein. Check the serving size. Check the ingredients.
Then choose the product that matches the job.
