Frequently Asked Questions About RedCon1 MRE Protein Shake
Why does the MRE Protein Shake use whole food protein instead of whey? The entire MRE product line is built on the principle that real food protein is the most important fuel you can give your body. Whey protein digests very rapidly and can cause bloating, gas, and GI discomfort in a significant portion of the populationparticularly in a concentrated RTD format. The whole food protein blend in MRE Protein Shakecollagen peptides, pea, brown rice, and egg whiteprovides a more sustained amino acid release, is far gentler on the gut, and contains zero lactose. For people who have ever had a bad experience with a whey-based RTD, MRE is the reason they find RTDs again.
Is RedCon1 MRE Protein Shake keto-friendly? Yes. Each carton contains 6g total carbohydrates, all of which come from fiber and the flavor systemnot added sugar. The net carb count is 3g per serving, which sits well within the range most keto practitioners target. RedCon1 confirms the MRE Protein Shake can be incorporated into a ketogenic diet, though individual carbohydrate tolerance for maintaining ketosis varies. Zero sugar in every flavor across the entire lineup.
What is the shelf life and does MRE Protein Shake need to be refrigerated? MRE Protein Shake has a 15-month shelf life from production. No refrigeration is required before openingstore at room temperature. After opening, refrigerate and consume promptly. Best served cold.
How does 40g of protein from whole food sources compare to a whey RTD? Most whey-based RTDs in the 40g protein range are extremely thick and heavy due to the concentration of whey protein needed to hit that number. MRE uses a multi-source blend that achieves 40g with a texture RedCon1 describes as milkshake-likethicker than most RTDs but more drinkable than a concentrated whey shake. The trade-off is that whole food proteins have a slightly different amino acid delivery curve than fast-digesting whey isolate, but for athletes who train consistently and eat adequate protein throughout the day, this distinction is minimal.
What flavors are available and which are worth trying first? Current flavors: Milk Chocolate, Vanilla Milkshake, Cookies N Cream, Strawberry Shortcake, Hostess Twinkies, and Hostess Cupcakes. The Hostess collaborations are worth calling out specificallyRedCon1 partnered directly with Hostess Brands to create accurate flavor profiles, and the Twinkies flavor has become one of the more talked-about RTD flavors in the category. If you’re trying MRE RTD for the first time, the single-serve option lets you sample before committing to a 12-pack.
