Most labels suggest one or two scoops a day. Treat a shake as a top-up to the protein in your meals, not a replacement for them.
Is whey protein OK if I'm lactose intolerant?
Whey comes from milk. Isolates and clear wheys are usually lower in lactose than standard whey, but they are not lactose-free unless the label says so. A plant protein avoids milk altogether.
When should I drink a protein shake?
Any time that helps you reach your daily protein. Many people have one after training or with breakfast.
Protein powder for every taste and routine
A shake is the simplest way to hit your daily protein. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass. This range covers whey isolate, whey, clear whey, beef protein and plant protein.
How to choose
Whey isolate is filtered further, so it usually carries more protein and less fat and carbohydrate per scoop. RAW Nutrition's CBUM Itholate is a whey isolate with 25 g of protein a scoop and dessert-style flavours. For everyday shakes, Naughty Boy Advanced Whey 2kg and FERAL Whey are easy to mix into milk, water or oats.
Clear whey, such as RAW CORE Clear Whey Isolate or Inno Supps Inno Clear, mixes light and juice-like rather than milky. Avoiding dairy? Planta by Ambrosia Collective is a plant protein, and APE Nutrition's grass-fed beef protein is made from beef rather than milk.
