protein powder

Gym bag staple

Protein powder is a dietary supplement made from concentrated protein sources—typically whey, casein, soy, or pea—processed into powdered form.

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts mix it with water or milk to increase protein intake for muscle building and recovery: I have a protein shake after every workout.

It appears in smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes where added protein is desired.
