Daily Protein is designed for very ordinary situations: meals eaten on the go, a breakfast with hardly any protein, an afternoon snack that stops at a biscuit. Nutripure intends it for active people, for those who simply want a better-balanced diet, and for adults over 45. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones.

Nutripure is a French brand founded in 2017 in Haute-Garonne, near Toulouse, by Christophe Carrio, five-time world champion in artistic karate with a diploma in dietetics, and his brother Florent, an engineer.

The formula combines three isolates in equal parts, each 32% of the powder: native milk proteins (isolate, milk of EU origin), egg white from free-range hens (EU) and faba bean protein (EU). Nutripure describes this animal and plant blend as flexitarian.

Milk proteins are naturally rich in leucine and give the drink its creamy texture. Egg white is very low in fat, with a complete essential amino acid profile. The faba bean completes the blend.

Two scoops, or 30 g, provide 24 g of protein for 121 kcal. The powder is 81% protein, with 1.0 g of carbohydrate, of which 0.1 g sugars, 1.38 g of fat and 0.33 g of salt per serving. Each serving also brings 10.4 g of essential amino acids, including 4.8 g of BCAAs and 2.2 g of leucine.

The neutral version contains no flavouring and no sweetener. It also includes the lactase enzyme Tolérase™ L, which breaks down lactose, plus tara gum and sunflower lecithin.

Add two scoops (30 g) to 300 ml of water, milk or plant drink and shake for a few seconds; for a thicker texture, let it stand for three minutes. Take the serving in one go or split it into two halves: at breakfast, as a snack, with a meal, or in the evening when the day’s meals were rushed. Around training, the brand points instead to its Muscle Protein.

The neutral taste disappears into a smoothie, yoghurt, fromage blanc, a breakfast bowl, pancake batter, porridge or a dessert cream. Avoid boiling liquids, which spoil the texture; warm or cold preparations are fine. The 750 g bag holds 25 servings, a little over three weeks at one serving a day.

Contains milk and egg. The lactase does not make it suitable for people allergic to milk proteins. For a vegan diet, the alternative is Nutripure’s Organic Plant Protein, made from pea and rice; our protein section gathers all the others.

Close the kraft bag tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. Developed in line with the EN 17444 anti-doping standard and made in France.
