Find the right protein powder for you

Protein powders make it easier to increase your daily protein intake without having to build every meal around high-protein foods. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, making protein shakes a popular choice for strength training, sport and everyday nutrition.

There isn't one protein powder that's right for everyone. Whey is a great all-rounder, isolate offers a more refined whey formula, clear protein gives you a lighter alternative to a creamy shake, and plant-based proteins provide options for vegan and dairy-free diets. If you're trying to increase your calorie intake as well as protein, a weight gainer may be a better fit.

Shop by protein type

Whey Protein The classic all-rounder for increasing your protein intake, with a huge choice of brands, flavours and formulas. Protein Isolate A more heavily filtered whey protein, typically offering a higher proportion of protein with less fat and carbohydrate. Clear Protein A refreshing, juice-style protein drink for when you'd rather skip the traditional thick and creamy shake. Vegan Protein Plant-based protein powders made with sources such as pea and rice protein, with options for vegan and dairy-free diets. Diet Protein High-protein, calorie-conscious formulas for people looking to increase protein while keeping an eye on their overall calorie intake. Weight Gainers Higher-calorie shakes combining protein and carbohydrates for an easier way to increase both calorie and protein intake.

Which protein powder should I choose?

Your best option depends on what you want from your shake. Rather than simply choosing the product with the most protein on the front of the tub, think about your diet, calorie needs, preferred type of drink and how often you're likely to use it.

A reliable everyday protein

Whey protein is a great place to start for most people who consume dairy. It's convenient, widely available and comes in everything from simple chocolate and vanilla to dessert-inspired flavours. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, so whey can make reaching your daily protein target much easier.

Whey concentrate or isolate?

Standard whey protein usually uses whey concentrate, while isolate goes through additional processing to remove more fat and carbohydrate. That generally results in a higher proportion of protein by weight. Isolate often costs more, though, so standard whey can offer excellent value if the small nutritional differences aren't important to you.

Don't like milky protein shakes?

Clear protein could be exactly what you're looking for. Instead of producing the familiar creamy shake, clear formulas mix into a lighter drink that's much closer to a flavoured juice or squash. They're particularly useful if you enjoy protein shakes but sometimes find traditional whey too heavy.

Looking for plant-based protein?

Vegan protein powders use plant sources such as pea, rice or combinations of different proteins instead of dairy-based whey. Blended plant proteins are common, and you'll find everything from straightforward unflavoured powders to chocolate, vanilla and dessert-style shakes.

Trying to increase your calorie intake?

If getting enough calories is as difficult as getting enough protein, look at weight gainers rather than standard protein powder. These combine protein with a much larger carbohydrate and calorie serving, making it easier to add significant calories through a shake.

Watching your calorie intake?

If calories are a priority, look at the amount of protein you get for the calories in each serving rather than focusing on marketing terms alone. Diet proteins, whey isolates and some standard whey powders can all provide useful options depending on their individual nutrition profile.

Getting more from your protein powder

Protein isn't just for after the gym

A shake after training is convenient, but you don't have to save protein powder for a narrow post-workout window. It can also work at breakfast, between meals or whenever you're finding it difficult to get enough protein from food during the day.

Water or milk?

Both work. Water keeps the shake lighter and adds virtually no extra calories, while milk creates a creamier shake and adds extra protein and calories of its own. Your choice can simply come down to taste and how the shake fits your nutrition goals.

Look at protein per serving

Serving sizes aren't standard across brands, so don't compare products by scoop size alone. Look at the grams of protein provided by a serving alongside its calories, carbohydrates and fat to get a better idea of what you're actually buying.

Think beyond the price of the tub

A cheaper tub isn't always better value. The pack size, serving size, number of servings and protein provided by each serving all matter. If two products look similar, working out the approximate cost per shake can make the difference much clearer.

Protein powder questions

What does protein powder actually do?

Protein powder is simply a convenient way to add protein to your diet. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass and also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. You can get protein entirely from food, but a shake can make reaching your daily intake much easier.

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

Both are derived from milk. Whey isolate undergoes additional processing that removes more of the fat, carbohydrate and other components of whey, resulting in a product with a higher proportion of protein. Standard whey concentrate is less heavily filtered and is often the more affordable option.

Is clear protein the same as whey protein?

Many clear protein powders are made using whey protein isolate, but they're formulated to produce a light, juice-style drink rather than a creamy shake. Check the individual product because clear protein can also be made using other protein sources.

Should I choose whey or vegan protein?

If you consume dairy and enjoy traditional protein shakes, whey is a straightforward choice. Vegan protein uses plant-based sources instead and is suitable for people following a vegan diet. Your preferred taste, texture, dietary requirements and the nutrition of the individual product can all help you decide.

Is protein powder only for building muscle?

No. Protein contributes to both the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and protein powder is simply a convenient source of dietary protein. While it's extremely popular with people who train, it can also be used by anyone looking for a practical way to increase their protein intake.

When should I drink a protein shake?

Whenever it conveniently helps you reach your protein intake. After training is popular because it's an easy time to have a shake, but you can also use protein powder at breakfast, between meals or at another point in the day that suits your routine.

Should I mix protein powder with milk or water?

Either is fine. Water generally produces a lighter shake with fewer calories, while milk makes it creamier and contributes additional protein, carbohydrates and calories. Follow the preparation instructions on your chosen product and adjust the amount of liquid to your preferred consistency where appropriate.

What's the best protein powder for weight gain?

If your main challenge is increasing your overall calorie intake, a weight gainer may be more suitable than a standard protein powder. Weight gainers typically combine protein with a much larger amount of carbohydrate and calories, allowing you to add more energy to your diet in a single shake.
