REDCON1 MRE Lite Whole Food Protein Powder - Fudge Brownie

Our review of REDCON1 MRE Lite Fudge Brownie finds it best suited for people who want a low carb, whey-free meal replacement that still delivers substantial protein. The single biggest reason to consider it is the whole food protein blend that combines beef, salmon, chicken, egg, brown rice and pea proteins into a 24 g protein, 130 calorie serving that stays low on sugar and carbs. For anyone tracking macros or following a keto-friendly plan, this shake offers an easy-to-digest, portable option that focuses on high protein and minimal carbs without relying on whey.

Key Features

• Whole food protein blend: Combines beef, salmon, chicken, egg, brown rice and pea proteins to deliver a complete amino acid profile from non-whey sources.
• Low calorie, high protein: Each serving provides 24 g of protein at around 130 calories, helping with satiety while keeping overall calories controlled.
• Low sugar and low carb: The formula contains just 2 g of sugar per serving, making it easy to fit into a low carb or keto-focused meal plan.
• MCT oil included: Contains MCT oil commonly extracted from coconut oil to supply quick energy from fats for those on low carb diets.
• Whey-free and easier digestion: The absence of whey can reduce stomach upset for people sensitive to dairy-based proteins.
• Flavor focus: Fudge Brownie aims to deliver a dessert-style taste while staying appropriate for everyday meal replacement use.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at athletes, busy professionals, and anyone counting macros who needs a convenient, high protein meal replacement without added carbs or whey. The 24 g protein per 130 calorie serving and inclusion of MCT oils makes it a practical choice for those following ketogenic or low carb plans who still want whole food protein sources.

People who should look elsewhere include those who prefer a traditional whey or plant-only single-source protein, or who dislike slightly variable texture in whole-food blends. Also, if you need a very high calorie or mass-gainer style shake, this lightweight 130 calorie serving will not meet that requirement.
