Are Protein Shakes Low Carb?
Most protein shakes are inherently low carb as the protein is concentrated and extracted from other components during manufacture. However not all protein powders or shakes are created equal and carb content can vary. In some cases such as “mass gainer” protein powders, carb content can be intentionally twice the amount of protein.
In general however, carb content should be very low or even zero in many products. Check product label for the nutritional facts for more information before purchase. For all our products on the site we also provide a net carbs value per serve.
When mixing your protein also consider any additives you may include, such as milk, fruit or juice which also contain carbs.
