Evowhey Protein: a whey protein for everyone
Evowhey Protein from SportSeries is our go-to whey protein flavor: a Whey Protein Concentrate, or concentrated milk whey protein, made for people who want to add proteins to their diet in a convenient, easy way with great taste.
Concentrated milk whey protein is obtained from milk whey, separated from casein during cheese-making, and processed through filtration systems that concentrate its protein fraction.
It’s a protein sourced from pasture-fed cows’ milk, with a complete amino acid profile and a formula designed for making shakes, recipes, or quick combinations at any time of the day.
Why Evowhey is one of the most chosen proteins at HSN
Whey Protein Concentrate: practical, versatile, and easy to use
Evowhey mixes easily, travels without any hassle, and can be used at different times of the day: around training, for breakfast, between meals, or to round out a meal that’s low in protein.
If you prefer an unsavored option to mix with cocoa, fruit, coffee, cinnamon, or flavorings, you can also get Whey Protein Concentrate 100%, the unsavored 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. Its contribution comes from the whey protein used in the formula.
This practice, known as amino-spiking, means adding nitrogen compounds so the apparent protein value is higher. With Evowhey, we don’t do that: whey protein is complete all on its own.
Around 80% protein in the raw material
The WPC we use starts from a raw material with around 80% protein, a common reference value for a whey concentrate intended for food.
If, in some flavors, you see values like 77 g of protein per 100 g and not 80 g, it’s because flavors, sweeteners, cocoa, or other flavor ingredients also take up space within the formula. The difference per shake is usually small, so our recommendation is to pick the flavor you enjoy most.
Cocoa-based flavors may show 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 flavor, so you can compare things transparently.
High biological value and reference PDCAAS
The following table summarizes the biological value and PDCAAS of Evowhey Protein 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 data help explain why whey protein is one of the most used protein sources when you’re looking for a complete, convenient, and good-quality protein from a nutritional point of view.
Complete amino acid profile, with no added amino acids
Evowhey has a complete amino acid profile because proteins are naturally made up of amino acids. This doesn’t mean amino acids have been added to the formula, but rather that the whey protein’s own profile is reported.
Also, each flavor includes its corresponding nutritional information, including the amino acid profile when applicable, since values can vary slightly due to the nature of the dairy raw material itself.
Evowhey Protein: a protein for different routines
A good-quality powder protein doesn’t have to be limited to a single goal. Evowhey can fit both a strength-training phase and a more general routine for healthy eating, as long as it’s part of a varied diet that’s adapted 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 flavored whey protein that’s versatile and easy to enjoy, Evowhey is a very complete choice.
When to take Evowhey Protein
You can take Evowhey at the time of day that best fits 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 meal that’s low in protein. What matters is that your total daily protein fits your needs and your rest of your diet.
What flavor to try among its 50+ options
Evowhey stands out for its variety of flavors. You’ve got sweeter options, dessert-style flavors, chocolates, coffees, fruits, and more classic profiles for people who want an easy shake they’ll want again and again.
- If you prefer sweeter flavors: Banoffee, caramel, biscuits, or custard cake.
- If you’re after less sweet flavors: double chocolate or milk coffee.
- If you want to try very HSN flavors: Caribbean vanilla, turrón, or pistachio.
If you’re not sure where to start, go for small formats or try the Evowhey Protein tasting pack. That way, you can discover your favorites before choosing bigger formats.
If sweet proteins aren’t your thing, a practical option is to combine the unsavored WPC with powdered flavorings, so you can adjust the intensity of the flavor to your taste.
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 when you use it. You can start with the amount listed in the directions and adjust it based on your goal, your digestive tolerance, and your total protein intake from your diet.
Do I need a shaker to prepare Evowhey?
It’s not essential, but it is the most convenient way to get a smooth shake. You can also use a blender or whisk.
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, porridge, and 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 material used for 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 info in the blog article: What Raw Material Is Used in Evowhey Protein?.
Do the flavors that contain instant coffee have caffeine?
The amount of caffeine in coffee flavors is residual. Coffee is used for its aroma, color, and flavor—not as a stimulating ingredient.
Is Evowhey a good protein to take before bed?
You can take it before bedtime without any problem. Even so, if you’re looking for a protein designed especially for nighttime use, you can consider the caseins, thanks 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’s Evowhey lecithin and why is it included?
Sunflower lecithin is used to improve the dispersion of the protein in liquid and make it easier to prepare the shake. In Evowhey, sunflower lecithin is used, not soybean lecithin, to avoid the soybean allergen in the ingredient list.
Why do you add sweeteners to Evowhey?
Sweeteners let you get sweet flavors without adding extra calories. In Evowhey, they’re used in very small amounts, and the sugar present comes naturally from the whey protein.
