Creative Recipes You Can Make With Ladder Whey Protein
After a challenging workout, you want to give your muscles what they need to bounce back and stay on track for achieving your goals. Timing can be crucial since your body doesn’t store protein, and you’ll want to have enough in your system to optimize your gains after each workout.
With 26 grams of fast-release whey protein to promote repair, Ladder Whey Protein is a fast and easy post-workout shake you can whip up in minutes. Or you can use it in these creative snacks!
For a vegan-friendly post-workout treat, swap in Ladder Plant Protein, which comes with 21 grams of pea protein.
