Protein sachets: honest comparison and review
Protein sachets have become ubiquitous in the diet world: quick, practical, easy to dose. But they are not all equal. Between supermarket powders, pharmacy brands and specialised brands like Mincidélice, quality, protein composition and taste vary considerably. Here's an honest comparison to help you choose the right protein sachet.
Criteria for a quality protein sachet
- At least 15g of protein per serving (ideally 18-20g)
- Less than 5g of sugar per serving
- Less than 5g of fat per serving
- Complete amino acid profile (isolated milk/soy/pea proteins)
- No or minimal additives
- Pleasant taste and texture to consume
