Protein powder is a dietary supplement typically used to increase protein intake. It comes in various forms, including whey, casein, soy, pea, and brown rice protein. The texture and flavor vary depending on the type and brand, ranging from smooth and creamy to slightly grainy. Many protein powders are flavored (e.g., chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) to improve palatability. Unflavored options have a more neutral taste. High-quality protein powder should dissolve easily in liquids. People often use protein powder to build muscle mass, aid in weight loss, and support overall health and recovery after exercise.

Protein powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent clumping and maintain its quality. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use. While refrigeration isn't usually necessary, avoid storing protein powder in humid environments like the bathroom or near the stove. Properly stored, most protein powders can last for several months or even up to a year past their expiration date, but always check for changes in smell, taste, or texture.
