Caramel instantly suggests sugar. The idea here is to capture the flavour note without the sweetness. The result is a warm, rounded taste, richer than vanilla, that turns a plain powder into a pleasant drink.

If vanilla feels too tame or you like variety, caramel is the indulgent option. We often suggest having both and alternating: boredom is the number one reason people give up their protein.

Caramel shares the base of the whole Dynveo flavouring line: no sugar, no synthetic sweeteners, no controversial additives — the opposite of flavoured protein powders, which almost always contain sucralose or acesulfame K.

It contains baobab pulp, rich in soluble fibre, which makes the drink creamier — a good match for a caramel note. The tub is labelled vegan.

Caramel works best with dairy-based powders: plain whey, bovine collagen, milk protein. It is excellent with almond or hazelnut milk, and with coffee if you take your protein in the morning — for instance with our Dynveo native whey isolate.

It suits strongly flavoured plant powders such as hemp or spirulina less well; vanilla or coconut do better there.

A pinch in a shaker, quark, yoghurt or porridge. It is concentrated: start small and adjust step by step. The tub holds 15 servings.

Once opened, close it tightly, keep it dry and never use a wet spoon, or the powder will clump.

Dynveo states that its flavourings comply with WADA anti-doping standards, which matters to licensed athletes. We stock the full Dynveo range at our shop in the 12th arrondissement, near Ledru-Rollin metro.

Pick it up in store or have it delivered anywhere in France. A vanilla version is also available.
