A compound whose very name puts it in first place ...
Which nutrient is the one that comes to mind first when you picture yourself with a fit physique and bursting with energy during sport or other activities? Protein is certainly the first thing we think of.
The word protein comes from the Greek word proteion, which means first place or first prize, as well as a first-class compound.
Protein is made up of amino acids and it is an important building block for the body and a source of energy, as our muscles are also made up of protein.
It is a macronutrient and must be consumed with food. Lean meats, eggs, milk and dairy products such as whey contain the most protein. Adults usually need about 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, whereas physically active people need a little more than that.
Protein is known because:
Need a great daily boost in the form of a quality protein shake?
Whether you drink protein shakes before or after a workout, use them occasionally as a substitute for a regular meal, or for making a great protein dessert – in any case, you probably want protein that's as natural as possible, free from artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors and other unnecessary additives.

Happy cows for high-quality milk
The cows that produce the milk for the whey protein graze on Ireland's green pastures, amidst pristine nature. That is why their milk is first-class and the whey protein made from the milk is of high quality. The cows are not mass bred, they live in small herds as they used to in the past – freely and in nature. Grazing and fresh air certainly contribute to a much happier life for the animals, and because of the way they are fed they also produce high-quality milk.
The following great facts are what makes Malinca's chocolate-flavored protein powder stand out:
Malinca protein powder contains no added sugar. Instead, two different natural sweeteners , calorie-free natural sweetener erythritol and stevia leaf powder, provide just the right amount of sweetness.
The delicious chocolate flavor is also completely natural. The protein powder contains high quality criollo cacao, which is distinguished by its aromatic flavour and has been crowned the best cacao in the world.
The preparation is quite simple, just mix the protein powder with your favorite milk or water. Mix in a regular shaker or blend in a blender and your delicious protein shake is ready. The fact that protein powder is lump-free and mixes perfectly is just an added icing on the cake.

When is it advisable to drink a protein shake?
Protein shakes are most often recommended after a workout for better muscle recovery, but can be drunk at any time of the day.
Is it very sweet?
We've prepared the recipes ourselves, and as most consumers are not fans of overly sweet flavors, we've used only natural sweeteners. These sweeteners are erythritol and stevia, and they add just the right amount of sweetness to the protein powder. Because of that, the shake is very pleasant to drink and it tastes natural, which is why it is suitable for making a variety of desserts.
Why does the protein powder get a hint of green color when mixed with liquid?
Pure stevia powder is added to the protein powder, and the natural colour of stevia is green. Stevia adds sweetness to the protein powder and is also suitable for diabetics, but can make the drink slightly green.
Does the protein powder foam?
If you blend it in a blender on really high speed, the protein powder will foam slightly. It also depends on whether you mix it with water or milk, and, when using cow milk, how much fat the milk contains.
Are Malinca protein powders suitable for both men and women and can children consume them?
Malinca Whey Grass Fed Protein powders are suitable for both men and women. They are so natural that they can be consumed even by children from 5 years of age when they are active or play sports. In principle, younger children do not need to consume additional protein.
From what age can the protein powders be consumed?
They can also be consumed by children from 5 years of age when they are active or play sports. Younger children do not need them. Protein powder is not suitable for infants.
How many drinks a day should I have?
Protein shakes can be drunk before training, after training or during the day. Depending on how active you are, you can drink up to two shakes a day. Two shakes meet your daily protein requirements. The dietary supplement is not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
Can a protein shake replace a meal?
In principle, protein shakes are not meal replacements, as they mainly contain protein and its amino acids, but not other macronutrients. However, a protein shake can replace a meal occasionally, when we really don't have time for a full meal. An even better option is adding protein powder to a smoothie, cereal, etc., to increase the protein content.
Is the protein powder a concentrate or an isolate?
It is a whey protein isolate, which means that the protein is filtered in such a way that the complete amino acid profile of the protein is preserved, the protein content is high, and the proportion of carbohydrates, fat and even lactose is reduced. This is a truly premium Grass Fed quality product. This means the protein is made from the best milk obtained from cows that graze on pastures and are not fed artificial feed and artificial additives, antibiotics or medicines. We use the most natural milk and, because of the way the cows are bred, the milk is really rich and nutritious.
How are Malinca protein powders made?
They are made from 100% natural Grass Fed whey, which is derived from quality milk obtained from Irish cows that graze on pristine Irish green pastures.
