You might not know this about me, but I have a degree in Biology. Using that knowledge, I went down the rabbit hole in researching MÖLK, looking up every single ingredient. It’s all grass-fed protein with no hormones or soy. Also, it has no added sugar and utilizes my favorite sweetener, monk fruit. The chocolate peanut butter flavor rocked and gave me 22 grams of protein per serving. I’d have one MÖLKshake per day on my new keto eating plan/exercise regimen. To make a long story short, I dropped 40 pounds over the course of several months, and my blood sugar and cholesterol numbers have never been better.
Ready To Drink Goodness
A few weeks ago, I was at our local Wawa convenience store to gas up and get some JOCKO GO energy drinks (more on that another day) when out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that MÖLK was now available prepackaged as a ready to drink shake. Awesome. I immediately bought all of the Banana Cream flavor they had at the time. I had heard about that flavor on the podcast and wanted to give it a try; besides, I was starving, and it seemed like just the thing to hit the spot.
And hit the spot it did. I drank it ice cold, and the first thing I noticed was the extreme creaminess and rich banana flavor. It was sweet but not overly so. After my first sip, I waited for a few seconds, and there was no bad aftertaste. Sometimes people complain about that in drinks sweetened with monk fruit, but not this one. The second sip was as good as the first, and before long, all 12 ounces were just a banana-flavored memory. The creaminess of the MÖLK combined with the whopping 30 grams of protein they packed in there surprisingly filled me up.
I was fully expecting to drink at least 2 of them in one sitting, but one was enough. I had no idea how many calories were in a bottle until after I drank it…only 180. If you are a calorie watcher, that’s a good thing. Me, I look for carbs. A quick scan of the side of the container revealed it has only four total grams of carbohydrates, one of which was from dietary fiber. So, subtracting that one gram of dietary fiber, because it passes through the body undigested, we have a total of 3 grams of net carbs. Quite keto-friendly, and it fits right in there with my 20 grams of carbs a day limit.
The same as their MÖLK powder, this ready-to-drink version features a clean grass-fed protein with no antibiotics or hormones. There is no soy in there either; this is all animal-sourced high-quality protein. It boasts zero artificial flavors or colors, but they have added special enzymes and probiotics to make it easily digestible. The protein is a time-released blend of whey concentrate, whey isolate, casein, and egg. This ensures that the muscle-building goodness will be available to your body as needed for hours after you drink it. I can feel myself getting stronger already.
As I read the ingredients, I came across something listed as “Fermented Cane Sugar (Reb-M).” For a fraction of a second, I thought maybe I had been duped, but then I remembered I didn’t know what I didn’t know, so I put on my researcher cap again and went to work. As it turns out, Reb-M is some pretty cool stuff. It’s a natural molecule that begins with the fermentation of sugarcane but contains no sugar itself. It is a highly concentrated byproduct of the fermentation process, with the end product being 250 times sweeter than sugar. That’s your magic ingredient right there. Good stuff.
