PRO SERIESThe daily muscle meal
This is not your mom’s protein powder. Monster Mix is the all-in-one muscle meal formulated for serious athletes and bodybuilders: 23 g whey, a full 5 g of creatine, 250 mg Tongkat Ali, plus glutamine, joint support and nine more actives, every dose printed. Two scoops a day replace thirteen tubs and bottles.
What the tub of whey didn’t tell you
Most lifters end up buying whey, creatine, something for test, something for joints and something for recovery: five labels, five doses to take on faith. Monster Mix is the version where the four that carry the load are dosed like the studies—23 g of whey, 5 g of creatine, 250 mg of Tongkat Ali and a protease matched to the protein. And the research that found bigger gains from whey, creatine and carbs together had lifters drink it around training, not whenever. That’s what the two scoops are for.
Not for everyone. If this makes you hesitate, buy something else.
This is 230 calories with 26 g of carbohydrate on purpose. The protein is only half the job. Those carbs refill the glycogen you just emptied and help drag the full 5 g of creatine into the muscle. If you’re cutting every gram while doing high-rep nonsense and wondering why the scale never moves the way you want, get an isolate. This isn’t built for that.
Without the work, this is an expensive milkshake. Muscle doesn’t grow because you swallowed something. Anybody selling “gains from the couch” is lying to you. If you’re not in the gym 4–6 days a week creating real damage that needs repairing, this is wasted on you. The formula assumes you’re doing the hard part.
There is one flavor: vanilla-cinnamon. No birthday cake. No cereal milk. No new flavor every eight weeks to keep you distracted from the fact that your training is soft. If you need constant novelty to stay interested, you don’t need a post-workout. You need a different hobby.
Still here?Good. You’re the only one this is built for. Here’s how to run it, and every way to buy it.
The daily muscle meal
A post-workout shake gets used three or four times a week. Two of the ingredients carrying this label weren’t studied that way. The creatine went in every day. The Tongkat Ali went in every day. And muscle keeps building for up to two days after the session that asked for it. So Monster Mix isn’t a reward for showing up at the gym. It’s one meal on your schedule, every day.
Two scoops in cold water or milk. In the ten-week timing study, the lifters who drank this kind of shake around training are the ones who gained more.
Two scoops in 12 oz of cold milk: about 35 g of protein and 350 to 450 calories, depending on the milk. Blend in a banana or a handful of oats if you want it to eat like a meal.
“When I was editing Muscle Media and working on Body-for-LIFE, serious lifters ran on a packet and a blender. MET-Rx started it. Myoplex was everywhere. Nobody treated those as supplements. They were a meal on the schedule, every day, and that habit put on more muscle than any single ingredient in the box. What the packet never had was the rest of the stack: the creatine was a separate tub, and so was everything after it. Monster Mix is the shake I wanted on my counter back then. One muscle meal a day, with the full creatine dose and the Tongkat Ali already in it, and every dose printed so you can check my work.”

More than the 200 mg a day used in the published cortisol-and-testosterone trial.
Whey, creatine, glutamine, joint support, enzymes and adaptogens. Two scoops, one shaker, done.
One pouch is 14 shakes: post-workout only, one every other day, with creatine going in on half your days. Creatine works by saturation, not timing: muscle stores fill over about four weeks of taking it every day, and stay full only while you keep taking it. That’s why the Daily Plan exists. Two pouches is 28 shakes, one a day for 28 days, and it’s the order that ships free.

The Monster Mix difference
Every tub on the shelf is fighting over the same number: grams of protein per scoop. Once you’re past the 20-to-40-gram dose the research supports, a bigger number buys you nothing. What’s left on the table after a hard session is everything else. Monster Mix is built around four fronts, and they all go in the same shaker.
A bigger protein number isn’t a bigger result. Once the dose is covered, the difference is made by what else is in the shaker—or by the four other products you remember to take.
After the last set, the job is getting amino acids into your blood fast, leucine first. Whey is the fastest, most leucine-rich protein you can drink; ProHydrolase starts breaking it down. In the human trial, whey with ProHydrolase was the only shake with a significant rise in blood leucine at 30 minutes.
Townsend et al. 2020, Sports · 26 g whey + 250 mg ProHydrolase · full readout belowAfter the last set, speed is the point. Muscle is waiting on amino acids, leucine first. Whey is already the fastest protein you can drink, and a standard tub stops there. Monster Mix pairs its 23 grams with 240 mg of ProHydrolase®, the protease blend that starts taking whey apart so its amino acids show up early.
It’s been tested where it counts. In Townsend et al., 2020 (Sports), trained lifters finished hard sets of leg press and leg extension, then drank whey with ProHydrolase, whey alone, or a placebo. The only group with a significant rise in blood leucine at 30 minutes was the one that took whey + ProHydrolase. At that mark it was also significantly ahead of the placebo on leucine, BCAAs and essential amino acids. Plain whey was still statistically level with both; the authors put the enzyme shake about 25–28% above it.
Townsend JR, et al. Sports 2020;8(2):13. Double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover in 10 resistance-trained men: 26 g whey protein + 250 mg ProHydrolase vs. whey alone vs. placebo. Funded by the enzyme’s maker, Deerland Enzymes, which also reported the prior research (10 mg of enzyme per gram of whey protein isolate).

Almost no protein page tells you which study. This one does: the published research on putting whey, creatine and carbohydrate in the same shake, and on drinking it when you train. The combination has been tested, not just the parts.
Cribb & Hayes · Med Sci Sports Exerc, 2006
Twenty-three experienced lifters trained for ten weeks on the same program and the same protein–creatine–carbohydrate supplement. One group drank it right before and after training. The other drank the same shake morning and evening. The around-training group won on every line.
| Measured | Shake around training | Morning & evening |
|---|---|---|
| Lean body mass | Greater gain | Smaller gain |
| 1RM strength | Greater in 2 of 3 lifts | Smaller gain |
| Type II fiber size | Greater gain | Smaller gain |
| Muscle creatine + glycogen | Higher | Lower |
All differences P < 0.05. Supplement per 100 g: 40 g whey isolate, 43 g glucose, 7 g creatine monohydrate, taken at 1 g/kg twice on training days.

Training drains muscle glycogen, and the hour after is when muscle takes carbohydrate up fastest. In the classic study, carbohydrate plus protein after exercise restored glycogen 38% faster than carbohydrate alone. The insulin response from the two together is also what helps carry creatine into muscle. That’s why this isn’t a zero-carb isolate.
Research · Zawadzki 1992, J Appl Physiol (112 g carbohydrate + 40 g protein after cycling) · Steenge 2000, J Appl Physiol (creatine with about 50 g protein + 50 g carbohydrate)Whey digests quickly and carries more leucine—the amino acid that switches muscle protein synthesis on—than any other common protein. After resistance exercise, whey raised muscle protein synthesis 122% more than casein and 31% more than soy. About 20 g was enough to maximally stimulate synthesis after a session. Across 49 trials and 1,863 lifters, adding protein to training added strength and fat-free mass.

It’s also the third leg of the zinc–magnesium–B-6 trio lifters know from ZMA.
Research · Established biochemistry: pyridoxal phosphate is the coenzyme for amino-acid transaminationMagnesium is involved in muscle contraction and in every reaction that uses ATP. In a seven-week strength-training study, men who supplemented magnesium gained more quadriceps strength than the control group.
Research · Brilla & Haley 1992, J Am Coll Nutr (total intake 8 mg/kg a day)Low zinc status goes with low testosterone, and correcting it improves testosterone measures. Hard training costs you zinc in sweat. This is zinc methionine, a chelated form.
Research · Te 2023, J Trace Elem Med Biol (review)Creatine tops up phosphocreatine, the fuel behind your heaviest sets. The International Society of Sports Nutrition calls creatine monohydrate the most effective nutritional supplement available for high-intensity exercise capacity and lean mass. Reviews of the training studies put the edge at about 8% more strength and 14% more reps than lifting alone—and in adults over 50, about 1.4 kg more lean mass. Three to five grams a day is the studied dose. This is five.

In a placebo-controlled trial, glutamine sped the recovery of peak strength and cut soreness after muscle-damaging eccentric work. In marathon runners given glutamine after the race, 81% stayed infection-free the following week, versus 49% on placebo.
Research · Legault 2015, Int J Sport Nutr Exerc Metab (0.3 g/kg a day) · Castell 1996, Eur J Appl Physiol (5 g after the race, and again 2 hours later)Cassia cinnamon is here for what it does with carbohydrate. In healthy men it improved insulin sensitivity and lowered the blood-glucose response to a carbohydrate load. In adults with type 2 diabetes, 1 to 6 g a day lowered fasting glucose 18–29%. Better glucose disposal is the whole point of putting carbs and creatine in the same shake.
Research · Solomon & Blannin 2007, Diabetes Obes Metab (5 g) · Khan 2003, Diabetes Care (1–6 g a day, 40 days)Heavy barbells are hard on joints, and joints are what end lifting careers.

Research · Ostojic 2007, Res Sports Med (1,500 mg a day)MSM is an organic sulfur compound. In a 118-patient, 12-week trial, glucosamine and MSM together cut joint-pain scores from 1.7 to 0.36—further than either one alone. In a separate trial, MSM on its own reduced pain and improved physical function in knee osteoarthritis.

A 2025 systematic review found improvements in sexual-function outcomes across several trials.
Research · Ma 2017, J Sport Health Sci (1,250 mg a day) · Vilar Neto 2025, Nutrients (systematic review)In a placebo-controlled trial, 200 mg a day for four weeks lowered cortisol 16% and raised testosterone 37% in moderately stressed adults, and tension, anger and confusion scores fell 11 to 15%. A meta-analysis found it raises total testosterone overall, most in men who start low. In active adults aged 57 to 72, five weeks raised total and free testosterone and grip strength. Monster Mix carries 250 mg.

In a double-blind crossover trial in trained lifters, whey with ProHydrolase was the only shake with a significant rise in blood leucine 30 minutes after training, and the only one with essential amino acids still elevated at three hours. Prior clinical research from the enzyme’s maker reported about 20% more total amino acids in the blood than whey alone. Monster Mix carries 10.4 mg of enzyme per gram of protein; the trial used 9.6.
Research · Townsend et al. 2020, Sports (26 g whey + 250 mg ProHydrolase; funded by the enzyme’s maker)Rhodiola is an adaptogen studied for fatigue.

Plain whey vs. Monster Mix
This isn’t a knock on whey. Whey is the first thing in the pouch. It’s a list of what training takes out of you, and what you end up buying, measuring and remembering when the tub stops at protein.
| After you train | Monster Mix | A tub of plain whey | The do-it-yourself stack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscle needs amino acids | 23 g whey per serving | 20–25 g per scoop | The same tub of whey |
| …and needs them fast | 240 mg ProHydrolase®, the enzyme from the 30-minute leucine trial | Rarely, and rarely with a dose | Enzyme capsules |
| Phosphocreatine is spent | 5,000 mg creatine monohydrate | None | A second tub |
| Glycogen is down | 26 g carbohydrate, in the shake | A few grams | A third tub, or a sports drink |
| Cortisol is up | 250 mg Tongkat Ali root extract | None | Another bottle |
| Joints took the load | 500 mg glucosamine + 500 mg MSM | None | A bottle of capsules |
| The next session is coming | 2,500 mg glutamine | None added | A fourth tub |
| What you do about it | Two scoops. Shake. Drink. | One scoop, then go find the rest | A shelf of tubs and bottles, and a pill organizer |
| What you can check | Every active, in milligrams, on one label | Protein per scoop | A different label for every one of them |
Thirteen products. One scoop.
We priced the whole label: thirteen products from the brands lifters already buy, every one counted at the exact dose in two scoops of Monster Mix. Building it yourself costs more, fills a shelf, and has you measuring four powders and swallowing a handful of capsules every day.
Prices are one-time purchase prices at iHerb.com, checked November 10, 2026, before shipping and tax. They change, so check them yourself. Per-day cost is each product at the dose in two scoops of Monster Mix. Glucosamine + MSM is counted at two capsules, the number it takes to reach 500 mg of MSM; carbohydrate at 22 g, the label’s 26 g less what a scoop of whey already carries; ZMA at the label’s zinc dose. Monster Mix is shown at the Daily Plan subscription price. Brand names are trademarks of their owners, who have no connection to Team ANR.

Quick answers · no fluff
Two scoops a day, in the same slot. On lifting days, within the hour after your session, in cold water or milk. On rest days, make it breakfast: two scoops in 12 oz of cold milk is about 35 g of protein. That’s the whole routine: no second tub, no capsules to count. One pouch is 14 servings.

No. The one-time option is one pouch for $80, one charge, nothing recurring. You’re only billed again if you choose a subscription.
Count the days you want it working. The Training-Day Plan is one pouch: 14 shakes, one every other day for 28 days. The Daily Plan is two pouches: 28 shakes, one a day for 28 days, and it ships free.
There’s also a creatine reason. Creatine works by keeping your muscles saturated, and that takes a daily dose. The Daily Plan gets you there on Monster Mix alone.
It’s a muscle meal, not a multivitamin in a shaker. Two scoops is 230 calories, 23 g of protein and 26 g of carbohydrate, plus the creatine and the rest of the label. In 12 oz of milk it’s about 35 g of protein, which is a real breakfast for a lifter.
It isn’t built to stand in for every meal, and it doesn’t carry a full vitamin and mineral panel. Make it one meal a day and eat the rest.
It’s the full dose, and no. Three to five grams a day is the studied daily dose. Loading (about 20 g a day for a week) fills your muscles faster, but 3 g a day gets to the same place in about four weeks.
One thing we’d rather tell you than hide: creatine works when you take it every day. If you only drink Monster Mix on training days, either run the Daily Plan or take plain creatine on your days off.
Because it’s a muscle meal, not a diet shake. Training drains muscle glycogen, and carbohydrate with protein refills it faster than carbohydrate alone. The insulin response from the two together is also what helps carry creatine into muscle. If you want protein with nothing else, an isolate is the right tool. This is a different tool.
Vanilla-cinnamon. One flavor. The cinnamon isn’t only there for taste: every serving has 500 mg of cassia cinnamon bark, and the label explains why.
No. Whey, creatine, glutamine and joint support work the same way in women. Two things to know: the formula includes Tongkat Ali and Tribulus, and the label says it’s not for anyone who is pregnant or nursing, or under 18.
Contains milk and crustacean shellfish. The protein is whey, and the glucosamine is made from lobster, shrimp and crab shell. It’s produced in a facility that may also process soy, wheat, egg, peanuts, tree nuts and fish.
Yes. Customers already do. One of them, Larry in Wisconsin, put it this way: “Feel a lot stronger riding my bike. Along with Adaptophen, very good combination.”
There’s some overlap between the two labels (Tongkat Ali, Tribulus, Rhodiola, zinc and B-6). If you take prescription medication or you’re on TRT, run both labels past your doctor first.
Then you get your money back. Use it for up to 60 days. If you’re not thrilled, email support@teamanrstore.com within 60 days of your order and we’ll refund your purchase price. If you’re on a subscription, cancel it from the link in your order email so nothing else ships.
