So is the whey protein you take good for you?
My guess is that you are just like me in regards to whey protein and that it doesn’t matter what brand you get, it just matters the amount of grams per sitting. I thought the same thing for many years and after drinking just about every shake that I could get, I was always left with that heavy bloated feeling for a while. I have read before that whey protein is hard for your body to digest and to some degree that is true, it depends on the how the whey protein was made truthfully.
I found a better whey
So with me being a big MMA fan and also trying my hand at BJJ training, I needed to find a good protein with fast recovery without leave me feeling like taking a nap somewhere afterwards. Well to be quite honest that is a lot to ask for but is it?…..Not this day and age.
As some of you may have heard the name Mike Dolce before if you watch the UFC or any MMA for that matter, he was and still is a personal trainer for a lot of high level MMA fighters and helps them make their weight cuts being weigh ins.
He now has brought some of that knowledge into a new whey protein product which actually is one of the better forms of whey protein on the market today. Like anyone else, I tried it and to this day I keep a bag of it in my kitchen in case I need that extra bit of muscle recovery. It comes unflavored so you don’t have to worry about what you mix it with to get a good taste out of it. I have mixed it in with smoothies that I make along with my every morning protein shake before work at 5am.

Mike Dolce also has several different books that share great knowledge regarding how to eat properly to meet tour goals whatever they may be. As a MMA leading trainer for a lot of UFC fighters he was voted the MMA trainer of the year for 2013, 2014, 2015 which is an award given to the leading and most influential strength and conditioning advisor of MMA.
Here are a few links to look at if you happen to be interested in learning about the Dolce Diet.

My morning shake
Ingredients:
12 oz of almond 30 calorie Silk Milk
1 scoop of Dolce Whey (25g protein)
1 scoop of Hemp Force protein Vanilla flavor
I mix these three ingredients together to get my main protein from the Dolce Whey, the sweetness from the Hemp force, and the Silk milk as the filler or the base. This gives me the nutrients that I need and kills my craving until about 10am which is about 5 hours later. All of this together is my best way to build or maintain muscle and not gain anything unwanted weight.

I am someone who is focused on trying to gain mass and gain weight. Is Dolce whey a good whey for a goal like that? Will it be better than other whey proteins? Is the main reason that it is better because it is easy to digest for the body, while others are hard for the body to digest? Something that has really contributed to me getting more benefits from protein powder in the past is the mixability and the taste, how would you compare Dolce on that level?
Hi Cam,
I have been using Dolce whey for about a year now and it is by far the best protein isolate that I used. It helps with fast recovery and is easy for your body to digest because it is made from the highest quality so you get the most for your money.
Dolce whey does not effect the taste of anything, it has zero taste so it can be easily mixed with whatever your favorite drink is. A pure whey isolate made from the absolute best.
I also use the Onnit’s Digestech to help with anything I eat because it help your body use all nutrients and helps digest everything that is needed.
I am also a big health nut and am constantly looking for the best, natural supplements to assist me in my training. This was a very helpful and informative website, as it brought to my attention a product I had never heard of. I have always been a die heart gold standard consumer, and I was wondering if you where aware of a comparison between the two products?
Thanks!
Hey Jamie,
I am glad to hear from you. As far as protein supplements, I have tried out many different products and companies the past 10 years but Onnit has produced the best supplement for everyone’s health from what I have found. From the Dolce whey to the Hemp force, they have protein for vegans and also the natural whey protein from Dolce whey.
Dolce whey is the highest quality product but the major difference that I see between it and most protein products, is that Dolce whey has zero taste so mixing it with anything you want doesn’t matter for taste.
In my opinion, the Onnit products are the next industry leader for many different products.
Thanks,
Shane
