Under 2 cents per gram protein is a very good price for any animal-based protein, doubly so for casein which tends to be more expensive than whey. Leucine content is unpublished, but being it's Casein, it's probably somewhere around 8% - not as high in leucine as whey.

The 20-25 gram upper limit per meal doesn't seem to hold true with regard to protein absorption. This specific study used casein protein, which may or may not be relevant to whether or not such an upper limit exists or what such a number might be.
Can anyone speak to how this tastes compared to myprotein chocolate smooth isolate/concentrate? I haven't particularly liked the casein I have, and I'm not sure how much of that is the difference between whey and casein or whether it's a matter of the brand and flavoring.
Little hard on stomach, triggers inflammation. Tried casein once, then stopped taking it because of sinus inflammation.
Also you need to be far elite lifter even to have a need to use it.
Just saying as I think most of us wouldn't need this.
Finally I get why my breakfast brownies have been so chalky the last few months! The first few times I made them I happened to get a deal on casein, which I eventually replaced with whey when I ran out.
3 cup oats
3/4 C protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 C cocoa powder
3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 C (soy) milk
2-3 overripe bananas (or 1 C unsweetened apple sauce)
1 C walnut pieces
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, mix oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, brown sugar, walnuts, and baking powder.
In another bowl mash bananas with butter, mix eggs, vanilla, and milk together.
Mix wet into dry.
Spray 13x9" baking dish or use silicone insert to prevent sticking. Pour mix in, top with a few extra chocolate chips.
Bake 35-40 minutes. Cut after cooling.
They freeze awesome (cut first!) and reheat on defrost for ~2 minutes. Put a little milk on top to make them more gooey. I always make a double batch with two 13x9 pyrex dishes because they fit perfectly in my oven together. Each tray makes breakfast for my wife and me for 5 days.
Edit: Also, I don't even lift. This is just a tasty breakfast that's decently healthy, sticks with you for a few hours, and goes great with an espresso/cappuccino from my Philips I impulse bought back in 2020 thanks to the SD effect, lol.

Amazing! That's a fantastic journal with impact factor 17 (among the best in medical journals). The study correlates with my experience. I use 2 scoops (30g each) a few times a day and have seen muscles grow just with that change.

Does anyone have the code for that?
