When to Choose Whey Protein

- Faster muscle recovery
- Individuals not sensitive to dairy

“Whey protein has been shown to stimulate muscle growth more effectively than plant protein on a gram-for-gram basis.” — Journal of Applied Physiology
When Plant Protein Might Be a Better Fit
Orgain Plant Protein uses pea and brown rice protein to form a complete amino acid profile. It’s slower-digesting and allergen-friendly.
âś… Ideal For:
- Vegans or vegetarians
- Sensitive stomachs or dairy-free diets
- Blended shakes or meal replacement smoothies
“So whether you eat or drink… do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31
Choosing your protein with intention is an act of stewardship.
Muscle Growth: Which Performs Better?
Whey has a clear edge when it comes to fast absorption and muscle protein synthesis (thanks to higher leucine). But when plant protein is blended properly and dosed higher (25–30g), studies show it can match whey’s hypertrophic effects.

Finding: No significant difference in muscle growth when daily intake and training volume are matched.
Taste, Mixability, and Experience
- Flight Foods Pro-Fuel: Creamy, dessert-like texture. Easy mix with water or milk. No artificial sweeteners or aftertaste.
- Orgain Plant Protein: Earthier, slightly gritty texture. Better in smoothies. Some stevia aftertaste.
