The five-time Mr. Olympia, Chris Bumstead, is having a busy off-season. Besides training, he’s been taking care of his newborn daughter, focusing on his health with stem cell therapy, and working on his long-term dream project—opening his gym, RAW Athletic Club, which began on Memorial Day weekend.

Amidst all these activities, Bumstead found time to promote his brand, Raw Nutrition. Recently, he took to Instagram to announce the return of a fan-favorite protein flavor: “Maple Waffle Eh?” His followers had requested this flavor, and Bumstead was thrilled to bring it back.

He shared a brochure of the protein flavor, captioning it with, “Ya’ll asked for it back.” But why did this flavor gain such a cult following, with many people eagerly awaiting its return? Let’s find out.

The flavor was first launched in July 2023. The bodybuilding icon posted a video on RAW Nutrition’s YouTube channel, revealing, “I’m Chris Bumstead, and as some of you may know, I was born and raised in Canada… I wanted to bring a taste of Canada to America.

Trust me, would I ever lie to you?” Certainly not, according to his fans and the fans of the Maple Waffle flavor.

Raw Nutrition’s CBum Itholate protein powder captivated fans for its fantastic flavors, and their reintroduced addition, “Maple Waffle, Eh?” continues this tradition. Inspired by a classic North American breakfast, this flavor aims to bring the comforting taste of maple syrup and waffles to your post-workout routine.
