Quality starts at the source

Our Essential whey comes from grass-fed cows in France — milked close to where they graze, so they stay calm and comfortable. Their milk is crafted into Beaufort AOP and Tomme de Savoie IGP cheeses, and the liquid whey is gently cold-filtered into a better-tasting protein.

Our Story

Bonjour! Protelicious began in my kitchen, as I searched for a food-based solution to our family's lifestyle-related health issues: cravings, gut health, a little inflammation, and my sugars were out of balance. How DID this happen?

A leading expert recommended a high-quality whey protein concentrate daily to optimize all body systems. I was skeptical. I also knew that for "daily" to last with my French family, it had to be delicious.

I eventually sourced this exceptionally high-quality protein, mixed it with gourmet ingredients, then upgraded our breakfasts and snacks. Soon we all looked forward to anything with our new ingredient, and within 40 days, the lifestyle issues were a thing of the past.

Protelicious, which combines great taste with science-backed health benefits, was born as a simple solution to turn daily health-building habits from a chore into a pleasure you look forward to. Nobody should have to choose between the joy of great food and building health.
