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.
