As well as adding six new flavors to its already delicious and unique Best Whey menu, which includes creative recipes like Gourmet Brigadeiro and Milho Verde (Sweet Corn). The Brazilian supplement company Atlhetica Nutrition has also created a snack version of the product called Best Whey Protein Balls.
The new Atlhetica supplement is a bag of high protein balls, made using the same protein sources as the protein powder with a blend of whey concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzed whey. The macros in the Best Whey Protein Balls are however very different from the powder, with a lot less protein and much higher carbohydrates and fat.
Each 50g bag of the Atlhetica protein balls provide 10g of protein, 21 to 24g of carbohydrates with no added sugar, 15g of fat (9g saturated), for a total of 259 to 271 calories. The different macros listed are for each of the Best Whey Protein Balls’ two flavors which are Milk Chocolate and the higher carb and calorie, White Chocolate.
While the snack version of Best Whey doesn’t have nutrition numbers anything like the original powder, the trade-off is that they are intended to be much more enjoyable. Atlhetica itself says that they’re so delicious it’s impossible to open a packet of either flavor and eat just one ball.
