Ep. 187 - Supplement Series P1: The Truth About Powders, Bars & Sweeteners
In a new series dedicated to breaking down all the myths around supplements, we kick it off by dissecting all things protein powders, from whey, to casein to plant-based, and understanding the intricacies behind each, and why they’re useful. We discuss why you may have problems digesting certain powders, the role of sweeteners, thickeners and fillers, as well as when protein bars are ever actually beneficial. If you’ve spent more money on supplements than on your bills, this series is just for you.
“When you get that little sweetness, then you’re good.”
