We are so excited about this special collaboration with the sports scientists and chefs over at The Protein Works after the launch of their 20,000 sq. ft. custom-built protein bakery. We're happy to announce that you can now make the perfect nutrient-dense, protein cheesecake.
Ideal after a hard gym session, it has a perfect 1:3 protein to carbohydrate ratio and has been loaded with smaller superfoods and ingredients that boast some pretty impressive research in sports nutrition. From a tapered release of carbohydrates to a high protein content to boost recovery, this cheesecake also supports the body's immune system after periods of intense training.
So what are you waiting for? Give it a go.
