REDCON1 MRE Meal Replacement - Whole Food Protein Shake
REDCON1 MRE Meal Replacement is a convenient, high-protein shake designed to make daily nutrition easier, whether your goal is fat loss, muscle building, weight maintenance or simply eating well when you're short on time.
Unlike a traditional whey protein shake, the updated REDCON1 MRE formula combines hydrolysed collagen peptides, pea protein and rice protein with carbohydrate ingredients including brown rice flour, yam, sweet potato and rolled oats.
The result is a substantial protein and carbohydrate shake that can be adjusted to suit your individual nutritional requirements.
And here's the best part - you don't need to consume the full 4-scoop serving!
Choose 2 scoops for a smaller, calorie-controlled option or 4 scoops when you need more protein, carbohydrates and calories.

More Than Just A Traditional Protein Shake
REDCON1 MRE is designed to provide more than protein alone.
While traditional protein powders are generally focused on increasing protein intake, MRE combines protein with substantial carbohydrates, dietary fibre and additional energy.
Multiple Protein Sources
The updated formula contains a protein blend featuring:
-
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides (Bovine) – a readily digestible source of collagen-derived amino acids
-
Pea Protein - a plant-derived protein source
-
Rice Protein - another plant-derived protein source that complements pea protein
Unlike the previous MRE formula, this updated version uses a different protein blend. Collagen is not a complete protein on its own, so the overall protein quality should not be assumed to be equivalent to whey.
Carbohydrates From Familiar Food Ingredients
REDCON1 MRE also includes:
-
Brown rice flour
-
Dehydrated yam
-
Sweet potato powder
-
Rolled oats
These ingredients contribute carbohydrates to help meet daily energy requirements.
REDCON1 MRE Serving Sizes - Fat Loss, Maintenance Or Muscle Gain
One of the biggest advantages of REDCON1 MRE is the ability to adjust the serving size to suit your goals.

For people trying to lose body fat, a 2-scoop serving can be a convenient way to incorporate protein and carbohydrates into a calorie-controlled diet.

511 calories
-
45.7 g protein
-
70.8 g carbohydrates

-
Athletes with higher energy requirements
-
Individuals struggling to eat enough during the day
-
Busy people needing a more substantial meal alternative
-
Those following a structured muscle-building nutrition plan
Which REDCON1 MRE Serving Size Is Right For You?
Fat loss: Consider 2 scoops as a convenient smaller option within your calorie deficit.
Weight maintenance: Choose a serving that fits your daily energy requirements.
Muscle gain: Consider a larger serving when additional protein, carbohydrates and calories are required.
Busy lifestyles: Adjust the serving depending on whether you're replacing a smaller snack or a more substantial meal.
The right serving size depends on your total daily calorie intake, training, activity levels and individual nutritional requirements.
REDCON1 MRE vs Traditional Protein Powder
REDCON1 MRE and traditional whey protein powders serve different purposes.
A traditional whey protein powder is generally designed to provide a concentrated source of protein with relatively few additional carbohydrates.
REDCON1 MRE, on the other hand, combines protein, carbohydrates and fibre to provide a more substantial shake.
Choose MRE when you need a convenient protein and carbohydrate option. Choose a traditional protein powder when your priority is primarily increasing protein intake with fewer additional calories.
How To Use REDCON1 MRE
Mix your chosen serving size with water or your preferred beverage and shake or blend until smooth.
For calorie control: Start with 2 scoops (72.5 g).
For a larger meal alternative: Use 4 scoops (145 g), where appropriate for your nutritional requirements.
Mixing with water adds negligible calories, while milk, fruit, nut butter and other additions will increase the total nutritional content.
Always refer to the current packaging for preparation directions and recommended intake limits.
Who Is REDCON1 MRE Suitable For?
REDCON1 MRE may suit adults who:
-
Want a convenient high-protein shake
-
Are following a calorie-controlled nutrition plan
-
Need extra calories during a muscle-building phase
-
Struggle to prepare meals during busy workdays
-
Want protein and carbohydrates after training
-
Need a convenient food option while travelling
-
Prefer a multi-source protein blend rather than a traditional whey-focused formula
Allergen information: The updated product label declares milk. This product should not be advertised as dairy-free or suitable for people with milk allergies.
MRE is best used as part of a balanced diet rather than as a complete replacement for varied whole-food meals.
