Arms Race Nutrition Elevation: Pecan Pie Flavor Grandma Would Love

In addition to their Apple Pie Moonshine announcement, Arms Race Nutrition is embracing the fall spirit with an incredible, seasonably appropriate flavor of their Elevation whey protein isolate powder:

Pecan Pie!

Thanksgiving dessert after every workout

Take a big gulp of Arms Race Nutrition’s Elevation whey protein powder, conceived in the image of Grandma’s Pecan Pie.

The importance of flavors for supplements is massively under-appreciated. Flavor is not merely a secondary concern when it comes to making the most out of athletic supplementation.

A good flavor leads to the kind of solid, consistent supplementation practice that’s required for getting the most benefits from said supplementation. It’s a lot easier to slam down those protein shakes and juice up those macro numbers if you actually enjoy it.

If slinging down protein shakes is simply a matter of utility – if it feels a chore – you are much less likely to stick with it than if you throw in a scoop of protein powder that tastes so dang good that you’re itching for seconds.

That’s why we love themed flavors like Arms Race’s new Pecan Pie Elevation. It fits with the season, but more importantly, the kind of variety and quality in flavors that Arms Race keeps dropping makes a world of difference when it comes to real, mirror-visible results.

Consistency is paramount, and flavor is the key to consistency.

What is Pecan Pie, anyway?

Pecan pie is made from pecans mixed into a thick filling generally made from butter, eggs, and brown sugar (sometimes molasses, honey, and maple syrup are used too) — it’s as amazing as it sounds.

The texture of pecan pie is dense and rich. You can practically taste the pecans as they’re roasted to a perfect golden brown. It will call your mind back to grandma’s Thanksgiving treats exuding their sweetly sinful aromas around the entire kitchen.

It’s quite a feat to figure out how to bottle this buttery, crumbly goodness, and ARN has managed to do it.

Dietary adherence: the key to consistency

Good flavors are key to adherence. But even a single good flavor (like ARN’s Chocolate and Vanilla Elevation variations) is not enough. Protein powder is something that should be supplemented very regularly and often. As a result, even the best tasting flavor can start feeling bland and stale.

This is why we love themed, unique, and seasonal flavors. Of course, this only applies when the flavors are done right. This means a solid nutrition profile (which is the reason we’re drinking these shakes in the first place) and a flavor that doesn’t taste synthetic or generally off.

ARN’s Pecan Pie meets those requirements and more. Backed by the purest form of whey protein on the market, whey protein isolate, this flavor delivers on its classic-dessert-themed promise.

It’s good. Very good. And that’s why it’s a winner. Let’s face it: if given the choice between a piece of real pie and a protein shake, most of us would probably choose the pie. But when you add in the nutrition and body composition benefits, the score is much closer.

Good flavors make it much easier to stick through a strict nutrition regimen and achieve the physical results you’re after.

The benefits of whey protein isolate

We’d be remiss if we skipped over the workhorse of the Elevation’s impressively clean macro profile: whey protein isolate.

You’ve probably heard it more times than you can count: when it comes to physical development and body recomposition, protein is king. High-protein diets are a must when it comes to building and toning muscle.

The problem is that it can be difficult to get the right amount of protein in your typical, everyday diet, at least without skyrocketing your carb and fat counts as well.

The solution is to supplement with protein powder. If macros are a big concern for your personal fitness goals, the solution is even more stringent: you need a form of protein that is complete – meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids – and is as free of other macronutrients as possible, allowing you to raise and lower your protein intake at will and with little effort.

Whey protein isolate fits this bill to a tee. Whey protein isolate, derived from cow’s milk, is whey protein that’s been filtered and purified to the point where it is at least 90% pure protein by weight. This means that compared to other forms of whey protein, like whey protein concentrate, you’re getting as much protein as possible, with as few grams of carbs and fat as possible.

The result is a much more flexible nutrition tool that allows you to manage your macros and protein intake to a much finer degree than you would be able to with a traditional diet alone.
