Gen-TecProtein Custard

Gen-Tec Protein Custard is a dessert-style casein protein powder from Australian sports nutrition brand Gen-Tec Nutrition. Mixed with a little cold water rather than a full shaker, it sets into a thick custard instead of a drink. The protein is calcium caseinate and skim milk powder sourced from New Zealand, a slow-digesting milk protein, which is why it suits the hours before sleep or other stretches without food. It comes as the 1 kg tub in five flavours: Banana Split, Chocolate Creme, Coffee Tiramisu, Salted Golden Caramel and Vanilla Panna Cotta. Every tub holds 25 serves of 40 g.

Nutritional Information

Servings per container: 25. Serving size: 40 g. The amino acid profile below is identical on all five flavour labels. The macronutrient figures differ slightly between flavours, so energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugars and sodium per serve are not declared; sodium in particular ranges widely across the five. Read the panel on the tub you receive for the exact figures for your flavour.

Ingredients

Casein, skim milk powder, flavour, emulsifier (soy lecithin), natural colour (beta carotene), sweetener (sucralose). The same declaration appears on all five flavours.

Allergens

Contains milk, soybeans and their products. May contain traces of cereals containing gluten, tree nuts, sesame seeds and their products. Because the protein is a milk protein, it is not suitable for vegans or for anyone avoiding dairy, and the soy lecithin emulsifier makes it unsuitable for anyone avoiding soy. Always review label for full list of ingredients.

Suggested Use
