Brace yourself, fit foodies, because your post-workout recovery sessions are about to get a whole lot cheesier. We just discovered that protein-packed mac and cheese exists (wow, just typing those five words in succession has my stomach grumbling!), and we’re officially never going back to protein shakes (or Kraft) ever again.
The aptly named brand Muscle Mac is the source of these nutritious, GMO-free noodles, which come packaged in either a box to be prepared on the stovetop or a microwavable cup for on-the-go eating. Each serving of Muscle Mac, regardless of which container, offers a whopping 20 grams of protein, which is about twice the amount of protein per serving in a regular ol’ box of Kraft. Even better? If you eat an entire regular-size box of Muscle Mac — which is certainly a possibility if you’re anything like me — you’d be consuming a total of 40 freakin’ grams of protein. That’s a pretty significant chunk of your recommended protein intake for the day!
