Evonative Casein: native micellar casein for different routines
Evonative Casein from SportSeries is a flavored powdered dietary supplement made from micellar casein with sweetener.
We’ve developed it for those looking for a practical way to add protein to their diet, but who prefer a texture with more body and a dessert-like experience. Its versatility lets you prepare a creamy shake or adjust the amount of liquid to get a thicker consistency. You can take it before bed, between meals, after training or use it as a base for recipes.
Quality protein, texture to suit you, and flavors you’ll want to include in your routine.
The amount and quality of protein are the foundation
When we use a protein powder, the first thing to clarify is what it’s for: it helps us reach the total amount of protein we need throughout the day. It can make it much easier to hit our target when foods alone aren’t practical.
The right amount isn’t the same for everyone. It depends on factors like usual diet, activity level and personal goals. So, more than chasing a universal moment or amount, it’s worth looking at the whole diet and following the usage directions on the label.
Evonative Casein is high in protein, low in sugars and low in fat. Thanks to its protein contribution, it helps increase muscle mass, preserve muscle mass and maintain bones in normal condition.
Complete protein from milk: Casein is one of the main protein fractions in milk and contains all essential amino acids. In Evonative Casein we didn’t just consider the amount of protein in the product; we also selected a raw material obtained through a particularly careful process.
To know the amount of protein provided by each flavor, always check its nutrition panel. The weight of the prepared mix does not directly equal grams of protein, since the formula also contains the ingredients needed to provide flavor and an easy way to prepare it.
Why Lacprodan® MicelPure™ makes the difference
The raw material we use is Lacprodan® MicelPure™ from Arla Foods Ingredients, a native micellar casein isolate obtained directly from Danish milk.
When we talk about a 'native' protein, we’re referring to its origin and the way it’s processed. In this case, the extraction aims to keep the protein as close as possible to its original structure in milk.
- Gentle filtration and minimal denaturation: Lacprodan® MicelPure™ is produced using membrane filtration technology. It’s a gentle process that separates and concentrates casein without using acids, minimizing protein denaturation and preserving its micellar structure.
- 86% native protein in the raw material: According to Arla Foods Ingredients specifications, Lacprodan® MicelPure™ contains 86% native protein.
- From pasture-fed cows: To develop Evonative Casein we used raw material sourced from cows fed on pasture. It’s an additional origin and traceability criterion that’s part of our ingredient selection.
- Instant and soy allergen-free: The formulation includes sunflower lecithin to help the casein disperse and mix easily. You can prepare it directly in a shaker, without needing a blender. Also, we avoided using soy lecithin to offer a protein formulated without soy allergen.
Lacprodan® MicelPure® is a high‑quality raw material that guarantees the protein, how it’s obtained and a clear value add to the formula.
A protein that fits different moments of the day
- If you train and want to complete your protein intake: Evonative Casein is a practical option if you train strength or practice any other sport and want to complete your protein intake without always relying on a conventional meal.
The truly important thing is the total amount of protein you consume during the day. The exact moment can be chosen based on your diet, schedules and the texture you feel like.
- If you like taking protein before bed: Nighttime is one of the moments traditionally linked to casein. You can prepare it as a shake or use less liquid to achieve a thick texture that can be eaten with a spoon.
- If many hours pass between meals: It also fits in long afternoons, trips or days when you know you won’t be able to arrange a meal easily. You just need the product, a shaker and the liquid you prefer.
- If you want a creamier option after a workout: Evonative Casein can also be taken after training. It’s a particularly interesting alternative when you crave a preparation with more body than a conventional whey shake.
- If you enjoy making protein recipes: Its texture lets you use it in recipes like overnight oats, yogurts, mousses, ice creams and other sweet preparations. That way, you can add protein and flavor without being limited to a shake format.
How to prepare Evonative Casein to get it perfect
- Add first to the shaker the water, milk or dairy-free drink you want to use.
- Pour in the amount of Evonative Casein indicated on the label.
- Close the shaker well and shake until you get a uniform mixture.
- Check the texture and add more liquid if you prefer it lighter or let the mix rest if you want a thicker consistency.
Creamy shake or mousse: you decide
The amount of liquid is the easiest way to control the result. Use more liquid to get an easy-to-drink shake and reduce it if you want a thicker preparation.
To achieve a mousse-like texture, mix well and let it rest for a few minutes. If you chill it, the texture can become even more compact.
Shaker or blender?
For a conventional preparation, a shaker is enough. Adding the liquid first helps prevent powder from sticking to the bottom.
The blender can be useful when you want to add ice, fruit or other ingredients and you’re after a smoother texture.
With water you’ll get a lighter preparation. Milk gives a creamier result and also changes the drink’s nutritional profile. A dairy-free drink can be another option, keeping in mind that texture, taste and composition depend on the option chosen.
If you also want ideas to customize it:
- With cinnamon or cocoa powder: to intensify or give a different twist to the flavor.
- With coffee: a particularly interesting combo with chocolate, vanilla or dessert flavors.
- With fruit and ice: to make a cold, fuller-bodied shake.
- With oats: perfect for a ready-to-go overnight oats breakfast.
- With yogurt: mix it in gradually to get a thicker protein cream.
Start with less liquid and adjust gradually: it’s easier to loosen the mix than to recover a thick texture.
Flavors designed to enjoy casein
The texture is one of the main elements that sets casein apart from other protein powders. In Evonative Casein we’ve paired it with flavors ranging from smooth profiles to options inspired by chocolates, custards and other desserts.
Which flavor to choose? If you want to use it regularly in recipes, the softer flavors are easy to combine with oats, yogurt, fruit, cinnamon or cocoa. If you’re looking for a preparation to drink on its own or as a mousse, you can opt for richer, more indulgent profiles.
The best flavor is the one that makes using your protein regularly easy and tasty.
Recommended combinations
- Casein and whey: two options that complement each other
You can use Evonative Whey when you prefer a lighter shake and reserve Evonative Casein for those moments when you want a creamier texture.
It’s also possible to mix them in a single preparation. The result combines both protein sources and lets you achieve an intermediate texture.
- With powdered carbohydrates
If you already use powdered carbs around your workout, you can combine them with Evonative Casein when you want a thicker blend. Some options are amilopectin or hydrolyzed rice flour.
- With other products in your routine
1. Creatine: can be added to the same shake if you want to integrate both products conveniently.
2. Omega-3: a dietary supplement that can be organized alongside the rest of your daily routine products.
3. Magnesium: can be used at the same time of day for organizational reasons, respecting each product’s usage directions.
Evonative Casein, Evocasein 2.0 or whey: which to choose
- Evonative Casein with Lacprodan® MicelPure™: It’s the option for those who prioritize native micellar casein with a clearly identified raw material. Its main differentiator is Lacprodan® MicelPure™, obtained directly from milk through gentle membrane filtration.
- Evocasein 2.0: Evocasein 2.0 is also a flavored micellar casein but includes an enzyme complex. Both offer the creamy texture typical of casein, so the choice will depend on the raw material, formulation and flavors you prefer.
- Evonative Whey: Evonative Whey is a native whey protein. Its texture is lighter and it’s suitable when you want a conventional shake, while Evonative Casein is the option if you want more body or a mousse-like preparation.
