XXL Nutrition Protein Lemonade Ready-to-drink Shake

XXL Nutrition Protein Lemonade lets you get your protein after a bike ride in a refreshing, fizzy lemonade. Each 330 ml can provides 10 grams of protein, with no sugar and no fat, for just around 44 kcal. So it’s not a thick shake, but a light drink that goes down easily, even when it’s hot.

This lemonade is ideal after a workout or a ride, or simply as a snack if you fancy some extra protein. The protein comes from milk whey, but the lemonade is lactose-free. You can choose between Ice Tea Lemon or Peach, in packs of 3 tins. Want more protein per serving? Then take a look at the XXL Nutrition N’Joy Protein Drink, which contains over 31 grams of protein per bottle.

Protein in a clear lemonade

The protein in this lemonade is whey protein isolate: a very pure protein derived from milk, from which almost all the lactose has been removed. It dissolves into a clear drink. This means you’re not drinking a thick shake, but a refreshing lemonade that goes down a treat, even after a hot ride.

Sugar-free and fat-free

It contains no sugar and no fat. The sweet taste comes from a sweetener. This means you get your protein for just around 44 kcal per can. Handy if you’re watching your calorie intake.

Suitable for

• After a workout or a ride, if you fancy a refreshing drink with some extra protein.
• A low-calorie snack.
• If you’re lactose intolerant: the lemonade is lactose-free.

Not suitable for

• An allergy to milk protein or a vegan diet: the protein comes from milk.
• Recovery after a very intense or long training session, when you need plenty of protein and carbohydrates: in that case, choose the XXL Nutrition N’Joy Protein Drink and a recovery drink.
• To replenish energy whilst biking, you’ll need carbohydrates, such as those found in energy gels.

Not sure? Here’s how to check

If, after exercising, you’d particularly like something refreshing to drink with a bit of protein, choose this lemonade. If you want to get as much protein as possible for your recovery, choose a protein shake containing 25 to 30 grams of protein per serving.

Included as standard

• 3 x 330 ml tins of XXL Nutrition Protein Lemonade, in the flavour of your choice.

Not included / still needed or useful

• Something with carbohydrates for during your ride, such as the XXL Nutrition Energy Fruit.

• Put the tins in the fridge a few hours before use; the lemonade tastes fresher when cold.
• Drink the lemonade within an hour of your workout. That’s when your muscles benefit most from the protein.
• Store the tins in a cool, dry place, and finish any opened tins on the same day.
• After a long ride, combine the lemonade with something containing carbohydrates, such as a banana or a slice of bread, to replenish your energy.
