Welcome back to my Top 5, with a twist. Today is a special issue: all protein, top to bottom. Why? Because if you're asking yourself whether you might need more protein, you do. I know I do. We break down muscle every single day, and most endurance athletes are running a deficit without knowing it. Five things, two minutes, and you'll fuel smarter than 90% of your group ride.
1. THE PIÑA COLADA OF PROTEIN
Clear whey is like showing up to a party where everyone brought beer, and you brought Piña Coladas.
It's whey that's already partially broken down, so it digests easier and mixes lighter, which cracked open a whole world of flavors. Protein no longer means a heavy vanilla or chocolate shake. Think Creamsicle over Rocky Road. My house recipe: Ascent Clear Whey, frozen pineapple, half milk, half water, blend — that's the Piña Colada. When I just want fast, I shake Arrae with water; it mixes as quickly as hydration and tastes amazing.
The nugget: if thick shakes are why you skip protein, clear whey removes your excuse.

2. PROTEIN SHAKE OR RECOVERY SHAKE?
The difference is one word: carbs.
