Carrefour protein cheese

El protein cheese is one of the star products of this new Carrefour fitness line. When going to buy, we will find three different types of star product: sliced, fresh shake and grated cheese. Being honest, protein cheeses they are more expensive than normal. And, for example, normal sliced ​​cheese costs €1,15, while the protein range costs €1,70.

Nutritionally speaking, it not only has more protein, but also it is less greasy. This makes it a perfect product for not only athletes, but also for people on a diet or who want to control their weight. Even so, too has its detractors. Some consumers think that it is indeed healthier, but that the amount of protein is somewhat higher than that of the standard brand, so added to the price, they do not consider it profitable.

If we analyze the jellies, we find that between the protein variety and the normal variety, its price varies, being the first more expensive, but healthier. As a curiosity, we can see how Carrefour only offers berry-flavored gelatin, the same thing that Mercadona does.

Shakes, custards and custards are the three products that complete the French chain's fitness line. Some desserts with a high amount of protein and low in fat. Some allies as a snack, for after sports or after meals. In this case we also find price problem, slightly superior to its basic variety. Even so, they are especially recommended.
