Sometimes good things come in small packages, and this Mini Chocolate Banana Bread by Myprotein ambassador Vienna (@strictlythriving) is no exception. This nutritious version of a classic treat uses our innovative Whey Forward protein.
Whey Forward is our animal-free, environmentally friendly whey protein alternative. It tastes just like whey and even has the same macros! But thanks to fermentation instead of farming, Whey Forward is made with tiny organisms called microflora, no cows.
Plus, because it's free of whey, lactose, and hormones, this Green protein is easier to digest for many gym-goers.
