Evowhey Protein: a whey protein for everyone
Evowhey Protein from SportSeries is our go-to whey protein with a great flavour: a Whey Protein Concentrate, or concentrated milk whey protein, made for people who want to add proteins to their diet in a convenient, simple way, and with a really good taste.
Concentrated milk whey protein is obtained from milk whey, separated from casein during cheese making, and processed using filtration systems that concentrate its protein fraction.
It’s a protein from milk from pasture-fed cows, with a complete amino acid profile and a formula designed to make shakes, recipes, or quick combinations at any time of day.
Why Evowhey is one of the most chosen proteins at HSN
Whey Protein Concentrate: handy, versatile and easy to use
Evowhey mixes easily, you can take it with you without any hassle, and you can use it at different times of day: around your workout, at breakfast, between meals, or to round out a meal that doesn’t have much protein.
If you prefer a no-flavour option to mix with cocoa, fruit, coffee, cinnamon or flavourings, you can also get Whey Protein Concentrate 100%, the unflavoured version of the WPC.
No added amino acids: the stated protein content is real
Evowhey doesn’t contain added amino acids to artificially inflate its protein value. What you get comes from the whey protein used in the formula.
This approach, known as amino-spiking, involves adding nitrogen compounds so the apparent protein value is higher. With Evowhey we don’t do that: the whey protein is already complete on its own.
Around 80% protein in the raw ingredient
The WPC we use starts from a raw material with around 80% protein, a common reference value for whey concentrate intended for food use.
If in some flavours you see values like 77 g of protein per 100 g and not 80 g, it’s because the aromas, sweeteners, cocoa, or other flavour ingredients also take up space in the formula. The difference per shake is usually small, so our recommendation is to choose the flavour you enjoy most.
Cocoa-based flavours may have a slightly lower protein content because they need a higher proportion of cocoa powder. That’s why at HSN we show the specific nutrition information for each flavour, so you can compare with full transparency.
High biological value and reference PDCAAS
The following table summarises Evowhey Protein’s biological value and PDCAAS compared to other common protein sources.
| Protein source | Biological value | PDCAAS |
|---|
| Evowhey Protein | 104 | 1 |
| Whole egg | 100 | 1 |
| Milk | 91 | 1 |
| Casein | 77 | 1 |
| Meat | 80 | 0,9 |
| Soy | 74 | 0,9 |
| Pea | 65 | 0,69 |
| Rice | 83 | 0,47 |
These figures help you understand why whey protein is one of the most used protein sources when you’re looking for a complete protein, convenient to take, and with good nutritional quality.
Complete amino acid profile, no added amino acids
Evowhey has a complete amino acid profile because the proteins are naturally made up of amino acids. This doesn’t mean amino acids were added to the formula; it just reports the whey protein’s own profile.
Also, each flavour comes with its corresponding nutrition information, including the amino acid profile when applicable, since these values can vary slightly due to the nature of the dairy raw material itself.
Evowhey Protein: a protein for different routines
A good-quality protein powder doesn’t have to be limited to just one goal. Evowhey can fit into both a strength training phase and a more general healthy eating routine, as long as it’s part of a varied diet that’s tailored to your needs.
If you’re looking for an option with lower fat and sugar content, you can consider the isolated version Evolate 2.0 (Whey isolate CFM). If you want a flavoured whey protein that’s versatile and easy to enjoy, Evowhey is a really complete choice.
When to take Evowhey Protein
You can take Evowhey at whatever time of day fits best with your routine. It’s common to use it before or after training, but you can also add it to breakfast, use it between meals, or use it to round out a low-protein meal. The important thing is that your total daily protein fits your needs and your rest of your diet.
What flavour to try from its 50+ options
Evowhey stands out for its wide range of flavours. You’ve got sweeter options, dessert-style flavours, chocolates, coffees, fruits, and more classic profiles for people who want an easy shake they’ll want to repeat.
- If you prefer sweeter flavours: Banoffee, caramel, cookies or custard cake.
- If you’re looking for less sweet flavours: double chocolate or milk coffee.
- If you want to try very HSN flavours: Caribbean vanilla, turrón or pistachio.
If you’re not sure where to start, go for smaller formats or try the Evowhey Protein tasting pack. That way you can discover your favourites before choosing larger formats.
If sweet proteins aren’t your thing, a practical option is to combine the unflavoured WPC with powdered flavourings, so you can adjust the intensity of the flavour to your liking.
Frequently asked questions about Evowhey Protein
How much Evowhey can I take per shake and per day?
It depends on your protein needs, the rest of your diet, and the time you take it. You can start with the amount shown in the directions and then adjust it based on your goal, your digestive tolerance, and your total protein intake for the day.
Do I need a shaker to prepare Evowhey?
It’s not essential, but it is the most convenient way to get a smooth, even shake. You can also use a blender or beaters.
Can I mix Evowhey with other drinks or cook with it?
Yes. You can mix it with water, milk, plant-based drinks, warm coffee, smoothies, or recipes like pancakes, oatmeal and sponge cakes. If you add it to very hot drinks, mix it first with a small amount of cold or lukewarm liquid to avoid lumps and improve the texture.
What’s the raw ingredient used in Evowhey Protein?
Whenever possible, we work with Fonterra WPC450. In specific cases, an equivalent European raw material may be used, verified by HSN to maintain the product’s nutritional and organoleptic standard. You can find more details in the blog article: What Raw Material Is Used in Evowhey Protein?.
Do the flavours that contain instant coffee have caffeine?
The caffeine amount in coffee-flavoured flavours is residual. Coffee is used for its smell, colour and flavour, not as a stimulating ingredient.
Is Evowhey a good protein to take before bed?
You can take it before sleeping without any problem. Still, if you’re looking for a protein specifically intended for nighttime use, you can consider the caseins, due to their slower release profile.
Can I combine Evowhey and creatine in the same shake?
Yes. Evowhey and creatine are compatible and can be taken the same day, in the same serving, or in the same shake.
Do I need to combine Evowhey with other proteins or amino acids to improve it?
No. Evowhey is a complete protein and doesn’t need added amino acids or other protein sources to improve its nutritional profile.
What is the lecithin in Evowhey and why is it there?
Sunflower lecithin is used to improve the dispersion of the protein in liquid and make the shake easier to prepare. In Evowhey we use sunflower lecithin, not soy, to avoid the soy allergen in the composition.
Why do you add sweeteners to Evowhey?
Sweeteners help you get sweet flavours without adding extra calories. In Evowhey, they’re used in very small amounts, and the sugar present comes naturally from the whey protein.
