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 seeking 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 it as a creamy shake or adjust the amount of liquid to achieve a thicker consistency. You can take it before bed, between meals, after training, or use it as a base for recipes.
High‑quality protein, texture to your liking and flavors you’ll want in your routine.
The amount and quality of protein are the base
When we use a protein powder, the first thing is to be clear 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 goal when food alone isn’t practical.
The right amount isn’t the same for everyone. It depends on factors like habitual diet, level of physical activity, and personal goals. So, more than chasing a universal moment or quantity, it’s best to assess the whole diet and follow the usage directions on the label.
Evonative Casein is high in protein, with low sugar and low fat. Thanks to its protein contribution, it helps increase muscle mass, preserve muscle mass and maintain bones in normal condition.
Complete protein from milk: The casein is one of the main protein fractions in milk and contains all essential amino acids. In Evonative Casein we’ve not only considered the protein amount of the product: we’ve also chosen a raw material obtained through a carefully controlled process.
To know the amount of protein provided by each flavor, always check its nutrition table. The weight of the preparation doesn’t directly equate to grams of protein, since the formula also contains the ingredients needed to provide flavor and an easy way to prepare it.
Why Lacprodan® MicelPure® marks 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 refer 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 present in milk.
- Gentle filtration and minimal denaturation: Lacprodan® MicelPure® is produced using a membrane filtration technology. It’s a gentle process that separates and concentrates casein without adding 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 from milk of pasture-fed cows. 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. In addition, we’ve avoided soybean lecithin to offer a protein formulated without soy allergen.
Lacprodan® MicelPure® is a quality raw material that guarantees the protein, how it’s obtained and a clear value contribution to the formula.
A protein that fits different times of the day
- If you train and want to complete your protein intake: Evonative Casein is a practical option if you train strength or engage in any other sport and want to complete your protein intake without always relying on a conventional meal.
What’s truly important is the total amount of protein you consume during the day. The exact moment can be chosen based on your diet, your schedule and the texture you fancy.
- If you like taking protein before sleep: Night is traditionally associated with casein. You can prepare it as a shake or use less liquid to get a thick texture you can eat with a spoon.
- If many hours pass between meals: It also fits long afternoons, trips or days when you know you won’t easily organize a meal. You only need the product, a shaker and your preferred liquid.
- If you want a creamier option after training: Evonative Casein can also be taken after training. It’s a particularly interesting alternative when you want 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 sticking to a shake format.
How to prepare Evonative Casein for a perfect finish
- First add the water, milk or plant drink you want to use to the shaker.
- Add 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 mixture rest if you want a thicker consistency.
Creamy shake or mousse: you decide
The amount of liquid is the simplest way to control the result. Use more liquid to get an easy-to-drink shake and reduce it if you want a denser preparation.
To get a mousse-like texture, mix well and let it rest for a few minutes. If you chill it as well, 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 seek a smoother texture.
With water you’ll get a lighter preparation. Milk provides a creamier result and also changes the shake’s nutritional profile. A plant drink could be another option, noting that its texture, flavor and composition will depend on the option chosen.
If you also want ideas to customize it:
- With cinnamon or cocoa powder: to intensify or give a different nuance to the flavor.
- With coffee: a particularly interesting pairing with chocolate, vanilla or dessert flavors.
- With fruit and ice: to make a cold shake with more body.
- With oats flakes: perfect to prepare an overnight oats breakfast.
- With yogurt: mix it in gradually to obtain a thicker protein cream.
Start with less liquid and adjust gradually: it’s always easier to lighten the mix than to recover a thick texture.
Flavors designed for enjoying casein
The texture is one of the elements that most distinguishes casein from other protein powders. In Evonative Casein we’ve combined it with flavors ranging from mild profiles to options inspired by chocolates, custards and other desserts.
Which flavor to choose? If you want to use it regularly in recipes, milder flavors are easy to combine with oats, yogurt, fruit, cinnamon or cocoa. If you’re looking for a preparation to take alone or as a mousse, you can opt for stronger, more indulgent profiles.
The best flavor is the one that makes using your protein regularly easy and appetizing.
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.
You can also mix them in one preparation. The result combines both protein sources and allows you to achieve an intermediate texture.
- With powdered carbohydrates
If you already use powdered carbohydrates around training, you can combine them with Evonative Casein when you want to prepare a thicker mix. Some options are the amilopectin or the 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 with the rest of your daily routine products.
3. Magnesium: can be used at the same time of day for organizational purposes, 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 differentiating element 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 characteristic 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 alternative if you prefer more body or a mousse-like preparation.
