FAQs

What exactly is protein powder?

Protein powder is a concentrated source of protein derived from animal or plant sources. Whey protein comes from milk during cheese production, whilst plant-based options use pea, soy, or rice protein. The powder format allows for quick mixing with liquids and easy incorporation into various recipes.

How does whey protein differ from whey isolate?

Whey protein concentrate typically contains 70-80% protein by weight, with some carbs and fats remaining. Whey isolate undergoes additional processing to achieve 90% or higher protein content, removing most lactose and fat. This makes isolate a higher-protein option with fewer calories per serving.

Who developed these protein supplements?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists formulated these protein supplements using high-quality ingredients and rigorous testing standards. Each product undergoes quality control to ensure consistency in protein content, taste, and mixability across every batch.

How much protein powder should I use per shake?

Most protein powders recommend one scoop (typically 25-30g) per serving, delivering around 20-25g of protein. You can adjust this based on your individual protein targets and how many servings you consume daily. Check the label for specific serving size recommendations.

Can I use protein powder in cooking and baking?

Absolutely. Protein powder works well in pancakes, muffins, porridge, energy balls, and smoothie bowls. Start by replacing a small portion of flour in recipes to avoid altering texture too dramatically. Unflavoured or vanilla options tend to work most versatilely in cooking.

What's the difference between ready-to-drink shakes and powder?

Ready-to-drink protein shakes offer ultimate convenience with no mixing required, perfect for travel or busy days. Powder formats give you more control over serving size, liquid choice, and cost per serving. Both deliver quality protein, so choose based on your lifestyle needs.

How do I choose between vegan and whey protein?

Choose based on your dietary preferences and any lactose sensitivities. Whey protein offers a complete amino acid profile naturally, whilst quality vegan blends combine multiple plant sources to achieve similar completeness. Both can effectively support your protein intake when used consistently.

Do protein supplements have any certifications?

Many of our protein products carry Informed Sport certification, which means they've been tested for banned substances by an independent laboratory. This certification provides additional assurance for athletes who compete in tested sports or anyone seeking extra quality verification.

What makes one protein powder flavour better than another?

Flavour preference is entirely personal. Classic options like chocolate and vanilla remain popular for their versatility and familiar taste. More adventurous flavours like salted caramel or cookies and cream add variety. Consider starting with a smaller size to test flavours before committing to larger quantities.

How should I store protein powder?

Keep protein powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to prevent clumping and maintain freshness. Most protein powders remain fresh for months when stored properly, though always check the best-before date on packaging.
