Casein Protein (micellar): Protein, Calories & Full Nutrition Breakdown

Why Casein Protein (micellar) shows up in protein-forward diets

The other 20% of milk protein besides whey — where whey digests in about 1-2 hours, casein forms a gel in the stomach that releases amino acids over 6-8 hours, the basis for its 'before bed' recommendation.

Serving-size math

A 1 scoop (30g) portion delivers 24.0g of protein and roughly 108 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 22.22g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.

Prep tip

Mixes thicker and clumpier than whey by design — a shaker bottle with a wire whisk ball handles it far better than stirring with a spoon.
