There are three main types of protein, all of which are available in powder-form to add to your meals or shakes.

WHEY PROTEIN is the most popular protein, especially for athletes. Whey is a protein that is separated from milk as it goes through the process of becoming cheese. Whey will digest within 30 minutes to an hour, making it the fastest-digesting choice of protein available.

MICELLAR CASEIN protein is the slowest digesting protein, (whey being the fastest) which makes it a good choice to consume right before bed. The reason is because when you’re sleeping, you’re basically “fasting” which makes sense, right? Casein protein will digest over the course of 7 hours. This will make sure that your muscle tissues have the protein they need, even when you’re sleeping and can’t eat.

SOY PROTEIN is the median when it comes to digestion time. Soy will digest between 1-3 hours, making it a good choice for during the day. Soy protein is used as a substitute for meat, making it a popular choice among vegetarians. Soy protein is also lactose-free, because it is derived from soy beans.
