Core Nutritionals Releases Strawberries N’ Cream PRO for valentine’s day — Not Just Another Whey Protein
Core Nutritionals release of Strawberries N’ Cream isn’t JUST a flavor story — it’s a reminder that their Pro Blend is one of the most complete blends on the shelf.
Most modern proteins are built around a single idea:
fast digestion = better
Core PRO isn’t.
Instead, it follows a now uncommon design philosophy — coverage over speed.
THE PROTEIN BLEND — WHY THREE SOURCES EXIST
Whey Isolate
Fast absorption
Quick amino spike
Low lactose
Whey Concentrate
Moderate digestion
Better mouthfeel
Higher satiety
Milk Protein Isolate
Contains casein fractions
Slow release amino delivery
Most brands removed concentrate and casein to market “cleaner” labels.
But that also removed duration.
This isn’t a post-workout product.
It’s a diet adherence protein.
The blend keeps amino acids elevated longer — which matters more for real people who need a quick convenient protein source.
THE AMINO PROFILE — WHY IT’S DISCLOSED
Core publishes the amino acid breakdown.
That’s not decoration — it’s proof.
Protein labels show nitrogen content, not usable protein.
Cheap amino additions can inflate numbers.
By disclosing the amino spectrum, they’re showing:
real leucine yield
intact protein sources
no amino spiking
In a category where most brands avoid this panel, transparency becomes part of the formulation.
DIGESTION — WHY ENZYMES ARE INCLUDED
Blends digest differently than isolates.
Isolates: easy but thin
Blends: smoother but heavier
DigeSEB enzymes are included specifically because concentrate + milk protein slow gastric emptying.
Instead of removing slower proteins to avoid complaints, they made them digestible.
That keeps texture and satiety without the bloating people associate with older blend proteins.
MACROS — THE REAL PURPOSE
25g protein — 130 calories
That ratio matters.
Not ultra lean
Not mass gainer
Not a pure isolate
This sits directly in the middle — which is exactly why it works as a daily protein.
The goal isn’t max absorption speed.
The goal is replacing a snack without hunger returning in 30 minutes.
WHERE THIS FITS IN THE CURRENT MARKET
Protein powder has split into two extremes:
Performance isolates
fast, thin, clinical
Dessert proteins
thick, high calorie, food replacements
PRO sits in the middle —
a protein you can drink every day without needing to treat it like a shake or a meal.
That category quietly shrank when “faster is better” marketing took over.
Now adherence is the bigger problem than absorption speed.
This formula solves adherence.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
Strawberries N’ Cream doesn’t change the product — it highlights the intent.
Core PRO isn’t trying to be the fastest protein.
It’s trying to be the one you can actually use daily without getting hungry immediately after.
In a market optimizing for absorption speed,
this one optimizes for behavior.
And for most people — behavior determines results more than digestion rate ever will.
Dropping just in time for Valentine’s Day.
