Protein & Recovery

After the workout is before the workout—and right now is when you’re laying the foundation for your next step forward. During the recovery phase, your body adapts to the physical stress. Protein provides the building blocks for this and contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Combining protein and carbohydrates is especially beneficial: this way, you nourish your muscles while simultaneously replenishing your energy stores. Whether it’s protein powder, protein bars, or recovery shakes—here you’ll find everything you need for post-workout recovery.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products

Can you eat protein bars even if you don’t exercise?

Yes, protein bars can be eaten even without exercising. They’re a convenient snack, but shouldn’t permanently replace a balanced diet.

When is the best time to drink protein powder?

The ideal time is immediately after a workout (within 30 minutes), when your muscles are particularly receptive. A shake in the morning or before bed can also be helpful to ensure adequate protein intake.

Are vegan protein bars healthier?

Vegan protein bars aren’t automatically healthier, but they can be cholesterol-free and easier to digest. Be sure to check the sugar and fat content here as well.

How much protein powder should you consume per day?

That depends on your weight, workout intensity, and diet. As a general guideline, aim for 1.4–2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Of that amount, 1–2 servings can be supplemented as a shake if you’re not meeting your needs through your regular diet.

When is the best time to eat a protein bar?

Protein bars are particularly suitable after a workout to support recovery or as a snack between meals when a protein-rich meal isn’t possible.

Which protein source is best?

Whey protein is considered the gold standard for muscle building because it’s absorbed particularly quickly. Casein is suitable for long-term supply (e.g., overnight), while plant-based proteins (e.g., peas, soy) are a good vegan alternative.
