What is Protein Water & Should You Be Using It?
Protein helps build and repair muscle, helps crush cravings, and contributes to a healthy body composition. There are millions of protein-based snacks and supplements available but one of the newer options is sometimes called protein water.
What Is Protein Water?
Most protein drinks come in chocolate or vanilla type flavors and have a milky consistency.
Protein water, in contrast, is kinda like a sports drink. It's lighter, refreshing, and typically comes in fruity flavors.
This is accomplished by using a special filtration process so that the protein, usually whey protein isolate, mixes up clear in water.
A lot of people who don't like choco/vanilla protein drinks find protein water to be a delicious alternative that helps them meet their protein needs.
There are versions of protein water that come pre-bottled and ready to drink and then there are powder versions that can be easily mixed up with water in a shaker bottle.
With our two versions of protein water, ProLoco and ProLoco Más we opted for the latter because we wanted to make sure it would pack well on any adventure!
From Adventure Power-Up to Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
We took the concept of protein water and super charged. The goal was to see how many benefits we could pack into one drink while still making sure it tasted great.
We wanted ProLoco to be both an Adventure Power-Up and an Afternoon Pick-Me-Up so that whether you're at the office, out on the water, or up a mountain, you could depend on it to keep you fueled!
Here are 4 ways ProLoco is more than just a protein drink!
#1 Complete Hydration
Complete hydration requires both water and electrolyte replenishment. Drinking water alone won't cut it, in fact it can actually make dehydration worse. ProLoco contains the essential electrolytes your body needs to actually hydrate properly.
#2 Improved Focus & Immune Support
A stronger immune system and a focused brain allows you to work hard and play harder. That's why we've added Vitamins C & B to ProLoco to make sure your brain is ON and your immune system is too.
#3 Crash-free Energy
We knew we needed a caffeinated option to make sure ProLoco was a true Power-Up! ProLoco + caffeine has all natural crash-free caffeine to give you a boost when you need it!
#4 Build Lean Muscle, Crush Cravings, and Burn Fat
We've touched on this already but the protein in ProLoco is going to help you build lean muscle, crush junk food cravings, and help burn pesky fat.
What's NOT in ProLoco
These days, what's not in something can be just as important as what is. ProLoco has zero sugar and zero artificial colors, sweeteners or additives so you have nothing sketchy to worry about!
Should You Be Drinking Protein Water Regularly?
You can most definitely get all the protein you need by eating whole foods throughout your day, but drinking ProLoco will benefit you if you're looking to...
- Build lean muscle
- Burn fat
- Hydrate properly
- Improve focus
- Support your immune system
- Get crash-free energy
- Avoid junk foods
We have two versions of protein water. The first is called ProLoco. It's meant to be more of a hydration drink packed with energy and just enough protein (8 grams/serving) to keep you fueled and crush cravings by stabilizing blood sugar.
ProLoco Más is our newest product. Más means "more" in Spanish and it got it's name because it's got more protein (21 grams per serving) and makes for a delicious post-workout protein drink or a protein packed power-up anytime of day!
