Myprotein Continues Innovating With New Animal-Free Whey Protein Powder in Partnership With Perfect Day: Whey Forward
Whey Forward Makes Achieving Performance Goals Even More Accessible Without Compromise
New York, NY, July 26, 2022 – Myprotein, the world’s largest online consumer sports nutrition brand, has partnered with Perfect Day, Inc., creator of the world’s first animal-free dairy protein, to develop Whey Forward: a performance protein powder that delivers on taste and nutrition.
Whey Forward is made with Perfect Day’s no-compromise animal-free whey protein, using precision fermentation to create its nature-identical whey protein from microflora instead of animals. The end result is completely identical to the whey protein found in cow’s milk and matches the nutritional needs of Myprotein’s award-winning Impact Whey, with 20 grams of protein per serving.
This animal-free protein allows for a product which doesn’t compromise on the nutrition, taste, or texture of traditional whey protein, with a significantly reduced environmental impact. Perfect Day’s process reduces water consumption by up to 99% and produces 97% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than conventional production methods.
Fueling all active lifestyles, Whey Forward delivers the uncompromising nutritional value, while being lactose-free, and is one more option – like the groundbreaking Clear Whey Isolate – that Myprotein provides for consumers to achieve their fitness and wellness potential in a way that best fits their lifestyle.
“With Whey Forward, we are removing a barrier to make it even easier for people to find a protein that best suits their performance goals. Pairing Perfect Day’s technology, with our state-of-the-art production and award-winning formula, we are able to maintain the same delicious taste and texture that makes our products leaders in the category,” said Pallav Tamaskar, Managing Director, Myprotein US.
“We’re thrilled to combine Myprotein’s leadership in creating innovative products focused on fueling performance with the unmatched nutrition and functionality of our animal-free whey protein. Whey Forward exemplifies how animal-free does not mean sacrificing taste, performance, or the future of our planet,” said Ryan Pandya, co-founder and CEO of Perfect Day.
Whey Forward is a ready-to-mix product that easily dissolves into liquids with the taste and texture of traditional dairy.
Whey Forward will be available in three flavors: Creamy Mint Chocolate Chip, Rich Salted Caramel and Decadent Chocolate Brownie for $39.99 (20 servings), $24.99 (10 servings) and $4.99 (1 serving) exclusively online at us.myprotein.com.
