Product Spotlight: CPW Grassfed Whey

New Product! CPW Grassfed Whey Protein

Sweet-Strawberry-and-Apple-Protein-SmoothieWorking to add more protein to your daily diet? Whey protein is a high quality, low carbohydrate protein that makes a fluffy, light shake. Whey is a component of milk. In the cheese making process “curds and whey” are separated. The whey protein fraction retains the beneficial immune-supporting microproteins like immunoglobulins and lactoferrin that are found in whole milk.

Coastal Pharmacy & Wellnesss’ house brand of organic, non-GMO grassfed whey protein powder is a great addition to smoothies and shakes for the whole family. Our product is unflavored and unsweetened – so you can add your own sweeteners and flavors like raw cacao powder, honey-vanilla, date-cinnamon, or strawberries and banana. With a carbohydrate content of only 2 grams and 80 calories per serving this product is great for weight loss, healthy eating, and athletes of all ages looking to boost post-training recovery time.

Grassfed means the original milk source is from cows fed exclusively on grass, not grains. The cows are free of recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) as well, so you get nothing but pure, clean protein. This product is complete with all 9 essential amino acids, as well as natural source branched chain amino acids (BCAA). It even has 8% of your daily calcium RDA – when mixed with fortified orange juice, almond/soy/rice milk, and/or almond butter and kale you can boost this even further for up to 500mg daily food-based calcium support!
