Hitting your protein goal shouldn't mean choking down another shake. Whether you're training for a PT test, trying to keep muscle as you get older, or just trying to eat a little better, most people fall short on protein for one reason: it's a hassle.
That's why we're excited to be the first store in the area carrying Meal Boosters. These are savory protein powders made to cook with. You stir them into food you already eat, like mac and cheese, eggs, tacos and coffee, and they add real protein without making your dinner taste like a supplement.
What Are Meal Boosters?
Most protein powders are sweet and made for a shaker bottle. Meal Boosters go the other way. The cheese flavors are made with real aged cheese powder, and the protein comes from grass-fed whey isolate and collagen peptides, depending on the product. The result tastes like a seasoning or a cheese sauce, not a vanilla shake.
The Lineup at Stax
Muscle Boosters (Unflavored, Cheesy Cheese, White Cheddar)
The heavy hitter. Muscle Boosters blend grass-fed whey isolate with collagen peptides. The Cheesy Cheese and White Cheddar flavors pack about 21g of protein per serving and add a bold cheddar taste. Unflavored packs about 28g per serving with no taste at all, so it disappears into almost anything.
Try it in: scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, soups, protein bowls, or a homemade queso.
Mega Mac (Cheesy Cheese, White Cheddar)
Boxed mac and cheese you can actually feel good about. Mega Mac delivers 20g+ of protein per serving from boosted cheese powder made with real aged cheese, paired with bronze-cut Italian pasta. It's the easiest win in the whole lineup: same comfort food, way more protein. Kids won't know the difference.
Try it: as a side for grilled chicken, or as a quick post-workout meal.
Taco Boosters (Mild Taco Blend)
Taco night, upgraded. Taco Boosters is a mild taco seasoning with grass-fed whey isolate and collagen peptides built in. One packet adds about 36g of protein to a full pound of ground meat, on top of the protein already in the meat.
Try it in: tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, taco salad, or stuffed peppers.
Meal Boosters Parmesan
Real aged parmesan with collagen protein, about 17g per serving. If you'd already shake parmesan on it, use this instead.
Try it on: spaghetti, roasted veggies, popcorn, garlic bread, wings, or eggs.
Coffee Boosters (Unflavored)
Start the day with protein before you even eat. Coffee Boosters adds 10g of collagen protein plus pink Himalayan sea salt to your morning cup. It stirs right in with no protein taste.
Try it in: hot coffee, iced coffee, or your favorite creamer.
What a Boosted Day Looks Like
Here's how easy it is to add protein without changing what you eat. These numbers are just what the Boosters add, not counting the protein already in your food.
| Meal | Booster | Protein Added |
|---|---|---|
| Morning coffee | Coffee Boosters | 10g |
| Scrambled eggs | Muscle Boosters White Cheddar | 21g |
| Lunch | Mega Mac | 20g+ |
| Taco night (1 lb meat) | Taco Boosters | 36g for the whole pound |
That's a big protein boost from food you were going to eat anyway.
