MaxiNutrition Progain 1.2kg - 1200g

Protein and carbohydrate in a single shake is the Progain brief: MaxiNutrition supplies it as a 1.2kg pack for anyone adding extra calories and protein around an active training routine.

It mixes like any other shake — powder, liquid, a shaker and a few seconds — and is designed to fit around normal meals rather than replace them.

Progain is listed under Mass Gainers at NE Commerce next to the brand's Cyclone blend; the two cover different briefs, so it is worth a look at both labels before deciding which belongs in the basket.
