Our take on the REDCON1 MRE LITE Whole Food Protein Powder

MRE Lite is a lactose-free protein powder built on whole-food sources: beef, chicken, salmon and egg, plus pea and brown rice protein. Each scoop delivers 26 g of protein with 130 calories, 2 g of carbs and no sugar, and MCT oil powder rounds out the blend. It suits people who want a dairy-free protein that is easy to digest, and the Chocolate flavor is described as creamy and milkshake-like. Against standard whey powders it trades faster absorption and a lighter carb count for a meat-and-plant blend that some find heavier in flavor.
