Most of the decent MRPs have a good mixture of whey, casein (milk protein), and egg protein. The cool thing about casein is that it its a very complete protein that breaks down rather slowly so it almost has a 'time release' effect. This allows your body to absorb and utilize more of the amino acids. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

That's why most MRP's blend casein with whey, milk protein, egg and others - and it still comes out really thick. Milk itself is 20% whey protein and 80% casein, so if you're looking to get a lot of 'slow' protein, just mix milk with an MRP and some oil (olive or flaxseed - or Udo's Choice Blend) like bb1fit suggested.
