Sun Warrior is a fantastic source of protein for everyone, but especially good for those on the go or who may be issues with Dairy Whey.  Quite simply, if dairy products in general give you any problems, dairy whey (the most common kind) will not be as effective as it could be under normal circumstances.  Even so, protein powder made from rice has a much greater ability to be absorbed by your body!   You can take this as many times a day as you would like, depending on your goals.  For the average person, a shake (can be easily blended with juices, soys, almond milk, etc) after a workout and before bedtime is good.  For those of you looking to improve your kettlebell or other athletic performance by adding some more muscle to your frame, a shake in the morning, pre workout, post workout, mid afternoon, and late night (bedtime) would be in order.  Unlike other dairy protein (whey), this will be absorbed nearly 100% by your body.  Some folks think a huge protein shake after training is the way to go, but the reality is that your body can’t handle huge doses of protein (in excess of 30-50 grams, depending on your size) and, unless it is quality protein, it will just pass through your system and be eliminated.

This is kettlebell strongman Mike Mahler’s protein of choice, and I found it on his website. If you go to the link to Sun Warrior, you will see Mike’s recipes in the recipe section. I highly encourage you, whether you have lactose issues or not, to try this protein. I have and I can already tell the difference!
