“What’s the best protein powder?”

It’s one of the most common questions I get asked as a nutritionist — and no wonder! Walk into any supplement store (or even the supermarket) and you’ll find shelves full of tubs, bags, and bottles all promising amazing results. But with so many options (whey, casein, plant-based, collagen, protein water… the list goes on), it can feel overwhelming to know which one is actually worth it.

Here’s the truth: most women aren’t getting enough protein in their day. The sweet spot? Around 1.6–2.2g per kg of bodyweight. Wholefoods should always be your foundation, but protein powders can be a super convenient, versatile way to bump your intake up so you’re hitting those targets consistently.

In this episode, I break down:

→ When to consider using a protein powder

→ What to look for on an ingredient label so you’re not tricked by marketing

→ The pros and cons of ALL the different types: whey, casein, plant-based, egg white, collagen, amino acids/protein waters and more

→ My summary of what’s “best” depending on your goals

→ The brands I personally use and recommend (see my discount codes at the bottom)

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel confident knowing whether protein powder should have a spot in your pantry, and which one is right for you.

I personally love their chocolate collagen protein powder (for protein hot chocolates or chocolate smoothies) and they also have the best protein bars on this earth IMO.

I use their vanilla collagen peptides, which is amazing in fruit smoothies & healthy gelato, but I also love that they sell lots of sample sachets of their protein powders. Funnily enough they gave me a discount code months after contacting them, so I am happy to be able to provide that for you!
