Starbucks has officially jumped into the protein game. But, will your wallet survive the price tag?
As of September 29, coffee aficionados can now customize their favorite Starbucks drinks with flavored protein cold foam for an extra $2, or upgrade to protein-boosted milk in any hot or iced milk-based beverage for $1.That means a single 16-ounce protein latte could run you as much as $7.
Still, with protein dominating the health and wellness space, more consumers are looking for easy ways to sneak extra grams into their daily routine. Adding protein powder is an easy fix, but another simple supplement has also caught buzz — $7 creatine gummies, now on sale ahead of October Prime Day.
On social media, countless users are praising creatine as their secret weapon for powering through intense workouts and speeding up lean muscle growth. Many also credit it with boosting recovery and endurance, while some highlight its unique benefits specifically for women.
Danew Pro Creatine Monohydrate Gummies for Men & Women
DANEW Pro’s Creatine Monohydrate Gummies are third-party tested, sugar-free and now marked down 60% on Amazon — about the same cost as a Starbucks protein latte. But instead of a one-time caffeine hit, each pack contains 120 gummies, providing months of energy and training support.
A study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that men taking creatine gained more muscle and strength after 12 weeks of training than those on a placebo. New research also suggests creatine may support brain health, aging, and blood sugar regulation.
DANEW reviewers aren’t just impressed with creatine’s far-reaching benefits; they also appreciate the tasty flavor options and convenient, easy-to-chew gummy form, which also alleviates some of the mess of mixing powders.
“My energy level is noticeably increased,” one reviewer shared. “Works in about 30 minutes, and then you just go! Taste is good. Easy to chew and digest. Solved my ‘gritty’ problem I have with powders. There’s no grit at all.”
Creatine gummies have been trusted by experts for decades, but it’s always wise to consult your physician before adding any new supplements to your health routine.
