Mars in Asia has a lot of different protein supplements available, and they’re all quite different in terms of main ingredients, functionality, and most of all, flavor, as the brand goes deep into milk tea-style tastes. The creative company does tend to differentiate with formulas more than anything else, and we have another example of that this week. New to market in Taiwan and Hong Kong is Mars Blend Protein Powder, which is indeed a blend-style product.
The sports nutrition brand has put a combination of whey concentrate and fast-absorbing whey isolate into its Blend Protein Powder, providing a respectable 22g of protein in a 30g serving, so it’s a typical amount for a whey-powered protein supplement. The carbohydrates are nice and low at 2.8g, with half of that sugar, 2.8g of fat, and 125 calories. Again, it’s a relatively standard formula, although it is something new to the catalog of products from Mars.
Blend-style protein powders are usually the most cost-effective offering from a supplement company, but at Mars, there is already Marscle, a pure whey concentrate competitor, which is much more competitive when it comes to price. The product comes in a 1kg bag, giving you 33 servings at 30g each or 30 if you want the standard 25g of protein per serving. The flavors have that signature Mars flair in Milk Tea, Oolong Milk Tea, Green Milk Tea, and a classic Chocolate.
