The difference between Whey Protein and Casein Protein:

Like Whey Protein, Casein Protein is a milk-derived protein. However, your body absorbs Casein Protein slower than Whey Protein, which helps keep you feeling fuller for longer. The difference in absorption rate makes Casein Protein a great choice for the morning, night time or as an anytime protein snack.

On the other hand, because your body digests and absorbs Whey Protein much quicker, Whey Protein is the perfect choice as a daily or post workout shake. Whey Protein is also very versatile and enjoyed in smoothies and oats.
