Nutrition products are a big part of the supplement industry in South Africa, with every competitor we know of in the region having some sort of protein powder on the market, whether that be a traditional blend-style offering, meal replacement, or high-calorie gainer. SSA Supplements is one of the many that has something in that realm in the country, many of them actually, and beginning this month, it has another one to choose from in Muscle Food.
SSA Supplements’ Muscle Food is a whole-food-based meal replacement, similar to the likes of Redcon1’s MRE or even 5% Nutrition’s original Real Food and its more comprehensive spin-off, Real Carbs + Protein The macros packed into every serving are balanced and led by a solid 25g of protein or an even 50g if you want to scale it up for a double serving. Alongside the 50g is 85g of carbohydrates, 10g of that sugar, a moderate 8.8g of fat, and 627 calories.
Again, the focus of SSA Supplements’ meal replacement is that it gets all of its nutrition from whole-food sources, where the protein is from plant-based pea, high-quality whey, and one of the best sources out there in egg. The carbohydrates are exclusively from low glycemic-index ingredients, including oats, rice, sweet potato, pea starch, and maize.
True to its word, SSA Supplements’ Muscle Food is a clean and nutritious meal replacement, packing a whole-food-based formula, and it is balanced enough to be scaleable, where if 50g of protein next to 85g of carbohydrates is too much, you can drop down to 25g and tip the scales with some added protein powder. The supplement is made even more comprehensive with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals worked into it, and you can get it now in South Africa in bags of 40 regular servings in Vanilla Cinnamon Bun and Chocolate Nut Swirl flavors.
