Protein powders are a convenient way to increase your daily protein intake, whether you're training hard at the gym or simply looking to meet your nutritional needs. From whey protein to vegan blends, each formula delivers a concentrated source of protein in formats that fit easily into your routine.

Our protein shake range includes everything from fast-absorbing isolates to slow-release blends, clear refreshing options to creamy traditional shakes. With over 40 flavours available across multiple product lines, finding a protein supplement that matches your taste preferences and training goals is straightforward.

Who Protein Shakes & Protein Powders Are For

Protein supplements suit anyone looking to boost their protein intake efficiently. Gym-goers often use protein powder after resistance training sessions, while endurance athletes incorporate it into their recovery routines. Those with busy schedules find protein shakes a practical solution when preparing protein-rich meals isn't feasible.

People following plant-based diets benefit from vegan protein blends, whilst those focused on lean muscle mass often choose whey isolate for its higher protein concentration per serving. Weight gainers appeal to hardgainers struggling to consume enough calories through food alone, delivering protein alongside carbohydrates to support mass building goals.

When to Use Protein Shakes & Protein Powders

Many people take protein powder within 30-60 minutes after training when muscles are primed for nutrient uptake. Others use protein shakes as a breakfast option on rushed mornings or as a convenient snack between meals to maintain steady protein intake throughout the day.

Timing depends on your individual routine. Some prefer a protein shake before bed using slower-digesting formulas, whilst others blend protein powder into smoothies for an anytime boost. The key is consistency rather than precise timing, making protein supplementation a flexible addition to any schedule.

Protein Shakes & Protein Powders Benefits

Supports Muscle Growth and Maintenance

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹. When combined with regular resistance training, adequate protein intake becomes essential for those looking to build or preserve lean tissue. Protein powders provide a measured serving that helps you hit daily targets without extensive meal preparation.

Convenient Protein Delivery

Protein shakes mix in seconds, delivering 20-40g protein per serving depending on the formula. This convenience matters when you're short on time or away from home, ensuring you maintain consistent protein intake regardless of your schedule. Single-serving sachets make protein supplementation even easier when travelling or commuting.

Multiple Format Options

From traditional creamy shakes to light, refreshing clear protein drinks, the variety means you won't tire of the same texture. Unflavoured options blend invisibly into meals, whilst dessert-inspired flavours satisfy sweet cravings without derailing nutrition goals. Powders work in shakes, baking, porridge and countless other applications.

Supports Bone Health

Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones². This often-overlooked benefit matters across all life stages, from active athletes placing demands on their skeletal system to older adults focused on maintaining bone density. Quality protein intake forms part of a comprehensive approach to skeletal health.

FAQs

What exactly are protein powders?

Protein powders are concentrated protein sources processed into powder form for convenient consumption. They're derived from various sources including whey (from milk), casein (from milk), soy, pea, rice or blends of plant proteins, with the protein extracted and dried into a fine powder that mixes easily with liquid.

How do protein shakes differ from protein powders?

Protein powder is the dry product you purchase in tubs or sachets. A protein shake is what you create when you mix that powder with water, milk or other liquids.

Some people use "protein shake" to describe ready-to-drink bottled products, whilst others use it to refer to any mixed protein drink. The terms are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation, though technically the powder is the ingredient and the shake is the finished drink.

What's the difference between whey concentrate and whey isolate?

Whey concentrate typically contains 70-80% protein by weight with small amounts of fat and lactose remaining. Whey isolate undergoes additional filtering to reach 90%+ protein content, removing most fat and lactose in the process.

Isolate delivers more protein per serving with fewer calories from other macronutrients, making it popular for those tracking macros precisely. Concentrate offers excellent value whilst still providing high-quality protein, making it the preferred choice for most people's daily needs.

How much protein powder should I take daily?

Protein needs vary based on body weight, activity level and goals. General recommendations suggest 1.6-2.2g protein per kilogram of body weight for those training regularly, though exact requirements differ individually.

Most people use one or two servings of protein powder daily to supplement whole food protein sources rather than replace them entirely. Your total daily protein intake matters more than whether it comes from powder or food, so use protein supplements to fill gaps in your nutrition rather than as your primary protein source.

When's the best time to take a protein shake?

Research shows that total daily protein intake matters more than precise timing for most training goals. That said, many people take protein powder after training sessions when it's convenient and helps them reach daily targets.

Others prefer protein shakes at breakfast for a quick start, between meals to maintain steady intake, or before bed using slower-digesting formulas. The "best" time is whenever it fits your schedule and helps you consume adequate protein consistently.

Can I use vegan protein if I'm not vegan?

Absolutely. Vegan protein powders work for anyone regardless of dietary preferences. Some people alternate between whey and plant proteins for variety, whilst others choose vegan options when they want a dairy-free alternative.

Plant-based proteins have improved dramatically in recent years, with better taste and texture alongside complete amino acid profiles when properly formulated. There's no reason non-vegans can't benefit from plant protein supplements.

What makes clear protein different from regular protein shakes?

Clear protein uses whey protein isolate processed to create a light, juice-like drink rather than a creamy shake. The protein undergoes specific filtering and mixing techniques that prevent the typical milky texture, resulting in a refreshing beverage similar to squash or cordial.

This format appeals to people who find traditional shakes too heavy, especially after intense training or in hot weather. It delivers the same protein content but in a completely different drinking experience that some find more palatable.

Who develops Myprotein's protein powder formulas?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop our protein powder range, combining sports nutrition science with customer feedback to create formulas that meet real training needs. Our team continually refines recipes based on the latest research whilst ensuring quality remains consistent across our manufacturing process.

How do I choose between different protein supplements?

Start by identifying your primary goal and any dietary requirements. Those focused on lean mass typically choose whey isolate, whilst hardgainers often prefer weight gainers with added carbohydrates. Vegans and those avoiding dairy select plant-based blends.

Consider taste preferences too – if you dislike creamy textures, clear protein offers an alternative. Budget matters for most people, with concentrates providing excellent value for daily use whilst isolates suit those wanting maximum protein per serving. Sample smaller sizes before committing to large tubs.

Can I use protein powder in cooking and baking?

Yes, protein powder works in various recipes beyond shakes. People add it to porridge, pancakes, protein balls, muffins and even savoury dishes. Unflavoured protein blends invisibly into most recipes, whilst flavoured varieties work well in sweet applications.

Heat can affect some protein structures, potentially reducing mixing ability in future uses of that powder, but it doesn't eliminate the protein content. Start with small amounts when experimenting with recipes, as protein powder affects texture and moisture differently than regular flour.
