MRE Lite is Redcon1's whole food protein powder stripped to its leanest form — approximately 24g of complete animal protein from beef isolate, salmon, chicken, egg albumin, brown rice, and pea protein per serving, at around 130–140 calories and only 1–4g of carbs depending on flavour. No whey, no lactose, no bloat. MCT oil and coconut water powder provide clean fat and electrolyte support, while an extensive lineup of dessert-inspired flavours — including new Hostess Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes collaborations — makes hitting your daily protein target genuinely enjoyable.

Not ideal for: Those with fish, egg, or coconut allergies — MRE Lite contains salmon, egg albumin, and coconut water. Those who need a high-calorie meal replacement or mass gainer will find the ~130 cal serving size too lean for that purpose.

Who Is This For?
Redcon1 MRE Lite is for athletes who want the whole food protein philosophy of MRE in a lean, low-carb powder format. ~24g of complete protein from beef, salmon, chicken, egg, brown rice, and pea — digesting cleanly without the bloating or GI discomfort some experience with whey — makes it a strong choice for athletes in a cutting phase or anyone who simply prefers food-source protein to isolated dairy.
Who Is This NOT For?
✗ Vegans — contains multiple animal-derived proteins (beef, salmon, chicken, egg) ✗ Anyone with a fish, egg, milk, or soy allergy — check the current flavour label ✗ Athletes who want a higher-carb, calorie-dense format ✗ Anyone who needs rapid post-workout absorption (whole food proteins are naturally slower-digesting than hydrolyzed whey)
