PhD Diet Whey Review

Used as a healthy snack between meals or a post-workout protein hit, this great tasting supplement is ideal for anyone looking to burn fat while building/maintaining lean muscle. Another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

There are a few things in life which I find overwhelmingly mundane.

Washing up, baby photos, the Victorian era (it’s just too long), Hugh Grant, anything by Jane Austen…

Another is dieting.

It’s just so difficult to summon up the enthusiasm to eat couscous and carrots, day in, day out.

It’s comparable to someone confiscating all of your high-def niche pornography and forcing you to rub one out over an old oak tree instead.

It’s just not the same.

Having said that, during my last foray into dieting/cutting/getting spectacularly shredded, there was one oasis of flavour, one meal which I genuinely looked forward to guzzling down each day.

That was PhD Diet Whey .

Product overview

Essentially it acts as a healthy, low-carb snack alternative or a convenient source of protein post-workout.

Per serving, you’re looking at about 35g of protein (whey protein, milk protein concentrate, soya protein isolate), 7g of low GI carbs, and 2g of sugar.

This blend of ingredients helps keep you feeling full throughout the day and should help eliminate those pesky sugar cravings.

PhD Diet Whey also contains added nutrients to help boost fat loss and maximise performance and energy levels, such as green tea, CLA, l-carnitine, waxy vol and flaxseed.

Personally, I’ve never heard of some of those ingredients – they could well be made up:

Marketing Exec 1: “Paul, how can we make this supplement more appealing?”

Marketing Exec 2: “Have you tried making up a load of impressive sounding ingredients? They fucking love that.”

Marketing Exec 1: “What about… Waxy Vol?”

Marketing Exec 2: “Bingo!”

Taste and texture

At the time of writing, PhD Diet Whey is available in five different flavours: vanilla, strawberry, Belgian chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate orange.

I usually opt for the vanilla flavour, which, although quite sweet, tastes tremendous.

So much so I found myself having cravings for it.

The shake mixes well with no lumps in sight, but it is a little grainy, which is apparently due to the flaxseed.

I blended it with semi-skimmed milk (always tastes much, much better than with water) and would often throw in a banana or some other frozen fruit for a great tasting protein shake.

Effectiveness

Over the course of a month, I lost quite a few pounds, ‘leaned up’ considerably, and felt much more energised during training while using this supplement.

This was alongside three weightlifting sessions and three HIIT cardio session per week, as well a wholesome low-carb diet .

Obviously, it’s paramount that you use PhD Diet Whey in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

If you just spend all day sitting in your pants, playing Grand Theft Auto and eating Belgian buns, this shake is not going to help you lose weight or gain muscle.

The ‘slow release protein blend’ definitely helped to eliminate any cravings I normally have during the day.

Usually I hoover up every calorie in sight, with an appetite as indiscriminate as it is voracious, but PhD Diet Whey satiated this binge mindset considerably.

On a side note, PhD Diet Whey also digests very well.

Unlike a lot of other protein supplements that I have reviewed , it thankfully doesn’t leave a trail of toxic guff gas lingering behind you all day long.

So if you’re consistently smoking your other half out with volley after volley of noxious protein farts, this supplement should help ease tension in the relationship.

Value for money

The recommended retail price for PhD Diet Whey is usually £30 and £40 for a kilogram, which is a little steep in my opinion.

However, if you shop around online you can normally knock at least £10 off this price, making it much better value for money.

PhD Diet Whey is the ideal supplement for those looking to maintain muscle tissue while cutting down on fat.

It works perfectly as a low calorie snack between meals and/or post-workout protein fix, and helps keep those pesky sugar cravings at bay.

In addition, its great taste helps take the edge off those ineffably mundane diet plans.

All in all, another excellent product from PhD Nutrition.

Highly recommended!

Buy PhD Diet Whey

Typically cheapest place to buy PhD Diet Whey is here at Amazon where it normally goes for well below the recommended retail price.

If you’ve tried PhD Diet Whey and have an opinion on it, I’d love to hear from you.

Just hit me up with your thoughts in the comments section below.

Also, if you happen to find anywhere cheaper than Amazon, please get in touch.

Until then, stay strong and stay shredded!

Henry is the founder and editor of GymTalk. He spends most of his time sat at a computer shovelling peanuts into his mouth while trying to think up new ways to end sentences with the word “vagina”, but occasionally can be found at the squat rack or playing piano in Luton’s “second best” rock band.

One important caveat, however, is that while a split routine will yield initial results (“newbie gains”), they are, in the long term, far inferior to full-body routines which have you hitting the main compound lifts multiple times per week, allowing you to progress much more efficiently in terms of size and strength.

Check out out some of our workout reviews for more info – and do let me know if you have any further questions.

I’ve just brought 2kg Phd Diet Whey from Costco for about £28 with a free shaker.

Bit gutted cos I brought a 1kg £32 from Holland & Barrett the day before.

I’ve only just started using it as I’ve put a lot of weight on due to medication for depression and bipolar.

I go to the gym every day, I do 1 hour plus cardiovascular and about 3/4 hr doing weights.

Hopefully in a few weeks I will start to notice a change in my weight and muscle mass.

If there’s any advice for me it would be much appreciated.

Also do you think I should take the Diet Whey before I go to the gym?

Hi Richard, thanks for stopping by.

The advice I would give to you is to make sure you’re getting the most from each workout and not just spinning wheels.

Cardio-wise, make sure you’re focusing on high intensity interval work (sprints, bag work, etc) which is much more effective at expediting fat lass and also more time-efficient.

With lifting weights, make sure you’re focusing on the main compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, rows, dips, pull ups, etc) as they will give you much more bang for your buck in terms of strength and muscle gain – and will also burn more calories and help with fat loss.

Also remember that less is sometimes more.

Three decent sessions per week (with lots of time to rest and recover) will, long term, be much more effective than seven mediocre sessions every week.

Also, working out less will leave you more motivated to get back in the gym and you’ll probably enjoy your workouts a lot more.

Hope that helps – and let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

All the best with your training!

Hi I’m training for a triathlon so I am doing a lot of cardio but pushing myself hard but also doing a small amount of weights.

Should I be taking the Diet Whey as I would like to shift some more pounds?

Yes, any protein supplement will help with a strenuous regimen such as yours, as it’s an absolutely vital macro-nutrient for maintaining a healthy/fit body.

If your goal is also to loose some extra weight, then I would absolutely recommend PHD Diet Whey, as it has a heap of extra ingredients to expedite fat loss.

I was quite excited to hear about this product until I read that you punched a cat for staring at you.

I certainly hope that you got reported for it.

I didn’t get reported for that, but I did get reported for dropkicking on owl and then hammer throwing an otter over the roof of a local Burger King.

Recently I started going to the gym and I am thinking to buy this product.

Before I purchase this product I would like to ask you a question which makes me think to buy or not.

Nowadays I don’t have any weight problems also I don’t wanna get kilos and also wanna build a muscle body.

Do you think this product is the best to purchase to achieve my goal?

Thanks SAFA

Yes, supplementing your diet with added protein will aid muscle recovery and growth.

Which flavour tastes better then all?

Vanilla is the tastiest IMO

Can I take it 2 times a day?

Like for snacks after breakfast and before bed?

Or 1 time per day is enough?

As many as is necessary really.

Try to think in terms of meeting your daily quotient, which should be around 1 to 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Hi, I’ve been taking the vanilla flavoured Diet Whey in a smoothie along with 2 bananas and coffee every morning for breakfast for over a year now.

It keeps my bowel regular after I had a bowel op over 2 years ago.

I look forward to taking it and miss it if I don’t have it.

I occasionally swap the bananas for blueberries omitting the coffee.

I’m 66 years old so the only exercise I do is walking but I’m always busy during the day.

Should I be doing more ?

I would always recommend more exercise – but if you’re doing as much as you can and eating well, then that is absolutely fine.

What do you know about the PhD meal replacement powder is that any good/good idea?

Or is it better to take the Diet Whey between meals as you previously recommend rather than replacing an entire meal with it?

I would always advise against relying on meal replacement shakes to lose weight.

They’re not a sustainable option and starve your body of essential calories/nutrients, which, more often than not, will send your body into an “emergency state” where it clings on to body fat instead of burning it.

Instead, take a protein shake, such as this one, between meals to get your daily protein intake to around 1 to 1.5g per pound of bodyweight.

Have just started my gym a month ago and used to earlier have my routine running and excercise.

Now I wish to go for good muscular body, I’m aged 27 years and weight is 88kg with 6 feet height.

Would like to know with your experience which PHD protein – should I opt for it to grow my muscles better and more strengthening?

Hi Dilawar.

Certainly – I would always recommend supplementing a diet with protein if your goal is to gain muscle.

Last year I lost 4 stone.

I walk at least 15k steps a day & count calories.

I’ve just started back doing work out DVDs yesterday.

30 Day Shred.

I’m 29, female & 10st 2, 5’6″.

I won’t be able to do the DVDs everyday, but I will be walking everyday.

I’m weaker now due to no strength training during weight loss.

I want to get my strength back, but not bulk up.

I need to lose sagging skin.

Is PhD for me?

Please & thanks

You need to engage in resistance/weight training – otherwise supplementing with a protein shake will not help build muscle.

Just purchased these shakes as a kind of kick start.

I have food issues, and believe me when I say I have tried every single ‘diet’ out there, and now after not being a club member of anywhere I am now heavier than when I gave birth to my daughter and my mind is a mess.

I don’t want to replace meals long term, just the odd one here or there or even replacing snacks and being more mindful of my eating and drinking overall.

I noticed on an earlier question you mentioned if replacing meals too often your body effectively shuts down and goes into shock.

My question is as someone who is fast approaching 40, what is a recommended amount of calories to be taking onboard?

Currently I exercise by skating 2/3 times a week and the odd gym session with weights when I have time.

There is so much info out there and my poor head is filled with so much misinformation on nutrition.

I’m desperate to get out of this awful cycle.

Personally, I would advise not getting too hung up on calorie counting or sticking to diets.

Just keep it simple – have three wholesome meals a day with lots of meat, poultry, fish, fruit and veg.

Avoid snacking on rubbish, drink lots of water, exercise regularly, and get 8-9 hours sleep every night.

It’s really as simple as that – you just need to be consistent!

I’ve just bought PhD Diet Whey (Belgian Chocolate flavour) to help me get a protein rich start to my day when I’m short on time.

Tried it for the first time today and not liking how sweet it tastes.

Any suggestions on how to cut the sweetness?

Add more milk/water to dilute it further.

Failing that, try a different flavour.

I’ve just picked up some of this stuff, haven’t tried it yet.

My question to you sir is this –

In times of desperation, what exactly is wrong with masturbating over trees?

Is there a law against it or is it simply frowned upon?

Many thanks

If you’re going to do it, at least choose something elegant like a Cherry Blossom or a mighty Oak.

It sells in Cosco with a shaker for £30 no vat.

Gotta love Cosco!

It’s been 2 days since I’ve started this protein shake.

I took the vanilla flavour as this was recommended.

It tastes amazing.

By the way I would like your opinion about my meals.

Breakfast I have the shake with fruits.

Lunch big plate of salad with something (like pasta with pesto and cheese only size of my hand).

And the evening maybe a fruit again with the shake or salad and the shake.

Gym I will start in 2 days, I was thinking to try to go 3-4 times per week if it’s possible because I don’t have a standard schedule.

Should I try to go more?

Btw apart from the vanilla do you suggest any other flavours?

Because I will get bored.

Can you tell me a little more about your goals first, what are you trying to achieve?

I could find it in Asda yesterday for £17.29/kg!!

Good luck!!

Thanks for letting us know!

Holland and Barrett doing a 1kg bag £15 also matrix stores!!!

Hi Henry, I’ve had a couple of packets of PHD Whey Protein in my cupboard for about a year but when I went to make a shake this morning, I noticed lots of black bits in it and it didn’t smell as good as it did when first opened.

The expiry date isn’t until October 2017.

I have the chocolate and vanilla flavours.

Do you think this is still okay to use?

I’m not sure if the black bits are weevils.

If it fails the smell/taste test I would personally bin it.

You’ve done the best informing report yet about this magnificent product it helped me a lot but had to stop during pregnancy because I read it’s not safe.

Do you have any idea if it’s OK whilst breastfeeding then?

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be OK, but consult a doctor if you’re worried.

Love it… been on this for 16 days whilst remaining quite active and before I’ve actually started proper jogging, hiit and training.

I use it twice a day with one main meal have lost shit loads of weight already.

Don’t feel hungry… love it!

Great to hear it, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!

Hi how long in total did you use it as a meal replacement and what were your results 🙂

I am 63 and bought this to aid losing weight after reading this I think i bought wrong product.

I am on my feet all morning as a cook and are going to start on my rowing machine is this enough to lose weight?

To lose weight you simply need to be consuming less calories than you burn.

If this is adding calories to your diet, it will do the opposite…

Hi, I’m a keen cyclist & have been recommended PHD Diet Whey to supplement the calorie burn.

I don’t actually want to lose too much weight.

Ideally maximise the muscle building.

Not going for the Froome physique… more a sprinter physique.

Does this fit the bill?

Anything that keeps you away from a caloric deficit will stop you from losing weight.

If this shake is convenient for you, go for it.

And if you want to maximise muscle gain, lift weights.

First class Henry! Cheers.

No worries, glad to help.

This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve read.

You are wasted peanut shovelling and should write a book.

Loved the review!!

I bought 1 kilo bags from Holland & Barrett in the following flavours (which I believe is currently the full set!) for £13.49 per bag less 20% discount.

I haven’t tried them all yet but some of these flavours make me salivate before I’ve even tried them!

I think I’ve got a protein shake fetish, although there are worse things to have a fetish about.

I’ve lost five kilos this year, and the annoying bit of fat around my mid section is now just a memory.

I would put my progress down to weights, cardio and counting calories via my fitbit, and not down to phd whey protein, but I like to think that it has definitely helped along the line.

I used to add it to soya milk but that became expensive and finicky, so now I just add it to cold water.

The first two or three gulps were less creamy to the taste, as you would expect, but since then I’ve never looked back.

TBH like many on here I just love the taste!

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) – CLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that has many benefits for your body. Research shows there may be a link between CLA and weight loss. It decreases the amount of body fat you have. Other benefits may include preventing cancer and type 2 diabetes, as well as heart disease.
Flaxseed – Ground flaxseed improves your digestive system. It’s high in fiber and consists of omega-3 fatty acids. People use flaxseed to relieve constipation. It’s thought to lower the bad cholesterol level, too.
L-Carnitine – This amino acid improves cognitive function and stimulates weight loss. L-Carnitine is said to convert fat into energy for your body. The fatty acids enter the mitochondria (power producer in cells), where they are burned to create an energy source.

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein has 750 milligrams of flaxseed powder per serving. It also has 375 milligrams of CLA and 125 milligrams of L-Carnitine.

Vanilla Creme

When you compare this supplement to other protein powders , make sure you look at the serving size indicated on the package. You want to make your comparison across a level playing ground.

The company also claims these powders have “market-leading taste and mixability.” The mixability does check out. Customers report it is easy to mix, and you aren’t left with lumps.

The final claim we’ll look at is that PhD adds more CLA, flaxseed, and L-Carnitine than other brands. This claim is supported.

I trust PhD

Been using PhD for years. At times I’d try other brands when it was hard to find PhD in Dubai, but eventually I gave up on trying anything else (luckily there are now services available for orders to the UAE from any part of the world). I trust the quality of PhD. I normally order proteins, BCAA, intra BCAA, lean degree and pre-workouts. All are great. I also tried Mind capsules and they did work for me. Customer service team (recent chat with Johnathan specifically) is always super helpful

Date of experience : July 01, 2024

Poor customer service

I had the unfortunate experience of finding (after chewing) a large piece of plastic embedded within a PHD Nutrition Smart Bar. I reached out to customer service on July 2nd and was asked to send the half eaten bar and plastic object back to their unit in Blackburn for ‘investigation’. I returned the bar in question and a further unopened bar I had purchased with the same batch number at my own expense as no postage label was offered. The package arrived with PHD on July 5th. Having not received any further communication, I requested an update on July 17th. I was told the investigation was ongoing but in the meantime I could have a box of bars or £15 of credit. Considering I had just found a contaminant in a PHD product, I opted to wait for the ongoing investigation to conclude and to be given a clear explanation of how the contamination happened before committing to consuming PHD products again. It’s currently September 4th and I have not been advised of the outcome. Following our initial communication on July 2nd, I was hopeful that a prompt investigation/recall of product would ensue considering an inedible large choking hazard was found in the middle of a bar which is sold in various supermarkets across the country. It seems like I was offered freebies without genuine intention of detecting the root cause of a potentially dangerous issue with production. Formerly a regular consumer of PHD Smart Bars, I am extremely disappointed. I wish no one to have customer experience like mine.

Its blend of whey protein concentrate, soya protein isolate and milk protein concentrate, along with waxy barley flour, is designed to help you build muscle, boost energy, provide the body with much-needed vitamins and help with weight management.

It contains 91 calories per 25g serving and is low in sugar, fat and salt. A bigger serving (two scoops) should give you about 34g of protein alongside 5.5g of carbohydrates and 2.5g sugar. Different flavours may have slightly different nutritional values.

It also contains additional ingredients such as green tea extract, L-Carnitine and CLA, among others, to encourage weight loss, so let’s have a look at what they do and if they work…

Ingredients

Whey protein concentrate.

Whey protein is a popular source of protein, absorbed much quicker than other alternative sources. It can stimulate protein synthesis – the act of promoting muscle growth – in just 40 minutes after ingestion. Protein also helps the body to recover quicker after intense exercise. The whey protein here contains 3.3g of BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids), the amino acids responsible for synthesis, per 25g serving.

Whey protein concentrate is a cheaper option than whey isolate or hydrolysate, but PhD Nutrition Diet Whey includes two further protein sources as well, such as…

Milk Protein Concentrate

Milk Protein Concentrate (MPC), mostly micellar casein, may act as an appetite suppressor thanks to its slow-releasing protein which continues to release amino acids over time. A 2013 research paper also pointed out that the consumption of dairy products is linked to a decrease in metabolic-related diseases. Poor metabolic health is often linked to obesity or being overweight.

Soya Protein Isolate

A third form of protein, Soya Protein Isolate (SPI) usually contains a minimum protein content of 90% thanks to its highly purified form. It is believed to provide the full range of amino acids needed by the human body.

All three of the proteins mentioned above have varying digestion rates, potentially helping to lengthen the period of protein synthesis.

Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder

Now we come to the potential weight loss ingredients. Cocoa powder may be useful in weight loss, thanks to its flavonoids which can protect cells from free radicals. It is included here to protect against damage caused to proteins and enzymes. A Japanese study reporting in Nutrition (May 2005) also discovered that cocoa powder has the ability to interfere with the body’s ability to change dietary fat into fatty tissue. A three week test in rats found the cocoa powder group had significantly lower body fat than the control group.

Waxy Barley Flour

A type of starch, wax barley is commonly found in plants and can help to store energy. Barley can also decrease the level of glucose absorption in the blood, thus helping blood sugar levels to become more stable. Barley is also described as a main source of nutrients and fibre needed for a healthy diet. Studies also show that consuming barley can be an effective way to reduce LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, in the body. LDL is responsible for cholesterol build up and potential blockage of the arteries.

Golden Brown Flaxseed Powder

Flaxseeds are a primary source of dietary fibre which, if taken before a meal, may act as an appetite suppressor. Studies have shown that it may also be able to lower ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol.

A powdered version of Conjugated Linoleic Acid, CLA may help people to lose weight by reducing fatty deposits in the body and boosting immunity. A meta-analysis of various studies showed that while CLA is more effective in animals, consuming approximately 3.2g a day of CLA could also help humans enjoy a ‘modest’ fat loss. Unfortunately, PhD Nutrition just contains 375mg of CLA per 25g serving.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract is a popular ingredient in fat burners thanks to its natural antioxidants, known as catechins, and small amount of caffeine which both help to speed up the metabolism. This thermogenic process helps the body to potentially burn more calories.

One research study , for instance, showed that people taking green tea extract lost 7.7% of fat around the abdominal area, as opposed to those taking a placebo (only lost 0.3%).

The effectiveness of green tea has long been recognised in weight loss circles.

It is low in fat, sugar and salt with just 91 calories per 25g serving.
Green tea is a well-known thermogenic agent, popular in weight loss circles because of its proven success.
Available in a wide range of flavours.
Vegetarian-friendly.
It is also halal, GMO-free and palm oil-free.
Contact details for PhD Nutrition are easy to find and you can telephone, speak to them online or fax.
PHD Nutrition is very upfront about its nutritional values.
It has gained a 4.1 rating out of 5 on Amazon UK at the time of writing (late 2018/2019)
While research into some of its ingredients is available, there have been no clinical studies done on PhD Nutrition Diet Whey as a whole. As a result, it is impossible to prove how successful it may be.
Some of the individual ingredients may cause side effects
Some customers have complained about the flavours, describing them as very sweet. Even those customers who like the taste admit the shake is grainy, probably as a result of the flaxseed included.
The mix is also described as quite thick and heavy, so is best avoided before a workout.
PhD Nutrition recommends one scoop of protein powder (25g) for a ‘normal’ shake, or two scoops to super-size it. If you opt for just one scoop, however, you will only consume 17g of protein, which is pretty low for a protein shake (experts recommend at least 20-25g of protein in a shake). Two scoops will give you about 35g of protein though that’s still lower than some of Diet Whey’s competitors, such as LA Muscle LA Whey Gold which gives nearly 50g of protein per serving (granted, per serving is 70g).
Can be quite pricey unless you can find a discount or special offer.

Who Takes It

PhD Nutrition states that its Diet Whey is suitable for men and women following a weight management nutrition plan, gym goers aiming to control calorie intake and lose body fat, and anyone wanting a high protein supplement. It is also suitable for anyone looking to replace a meal with a high protein and low sugar, fat and carb shake.

Safety/ Side Effects

There has been no clinical research done on PhD Nutrition Diet Whey as a whole, therefore there are few records of significant side effects. However, some of the individual ingredients in Diet Whey may cause side effects ranging from headaches, fatigue, irritability and stomach troubles. A common side effect of regularly ingesting protein shakes is also gas and tummy troubles.

How to Take It

For one normal serving, add 25g (one scoop of powder) to 175ml of ice cold water and shake or blend. To super-size it, add two scoops of powder to double the water. Note that some customers advocate using more water than recommended or even mixing it with milk to thin out or improve the taste. Of course, adding milk will increase the calorie count.

It is fair to say that the protein and amino acids in PhD Nutrition Diet Whey should be able to help with muscle building and potentially muscle repair, though a 25g serving is very low in protein and should be double sized if you want to build muscle and not gain fat.

Green tea is also a well-known weight loss ingredient and may help to boost the metabolism. PhD Nutrition Diet Whey’s 100mg of green tea per 25g serving is unlikely to be enough to encourage weight loss, however. Experts theorise that you need to drink approximately two to three cups of green tea with between 120-320mg of catechins in each cup to have any effect. So it’s probably worth having two scoops for the green tea as well.

Overall, there’s very little clinical evidence – and none given on the official website – to support the use of Diet Whey as an effective weight-loss aid. If you’re primarily looking to drop fat, you may be better off using a weight loss supplement or diet shake backed by solid clinical research.

Here’s where it gets interesting, however. Despite all of the above, you can’t ignore the fact that more than 3,000 customer reviews on Amazon UK give PhD Nutrition Diet Whey a 4.1 out of 5 star rating. It’s obviously working for a lot of people, with many claiming to be losing weight. Many recommend it as an appetite suppressant in particular.

If you want to gain muscle while also losing fat, PhD Nutrition Diet whey could potentially do the job for you, alongside a healthy lifestyle. If nothing else, it may help you control your cravings, thanks to the flaxseed. It’s just a shame the protein count is so low.

PhD Diet Whey: Good Protein Powder? [2022 Review]

Whey protein is a popular supplement for fitness and body building enthusiasts.

People who are dieting or getting shredded find the PhD diet whey replenishing almost like going for a retreat. PhD Diet Whey contains a protein blend of whey concentrate and soy protein isolate.

This helps with building muscle, recovery, and provides essential amino acids that support your body in many of its functions. On the other hand, though, many whey protein supplements are high in calories and have a high sugar content, sort of a double-edged sword.

In this review we will look at the ingredients, benefits, side effects and customer reviews of this product.

Table of Contents

What is Phd Diet Whey

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein is a protein supplement from PhD Performance Nutrition that is designed to help with lean muscle and fat loss goals. This protein powder is a blend of whey concentrate and soy protein isolate.

PhD keeps the carbohydrates and calories low, but the protein high in a serving, the idea being to limit the amount fat while you’re working on toning your muscles.

The mix of ingredients keeps you feeling full throughout the day and helps to keep the pesky sugar cravings at bay.

PhD Performance Nutrition are also the producers of the well-known testosterone booster PhD Test Matrix. Phd Diet Whey Protein combines ingredients that target muscle building and toning with those that support increase in energy and fat loss. It is essentially a high-protein, low-calorie blended supplement designed to help people attain their fitness goals.

The isolate forms of protein are more expensive to produce due to the complexity of their production. A thorough filtering processes has to be done to remove the unwanted parts of the protein such as lactose, carbohydrates and fats. Both whey protein concentrate and soya protein isolate go through this process.

Soy protein isolate is known to be slower to digest than whey protein such that it will keep you fuller for longer and provide your muscles with a steady supply of protein over a longer time.

If you look at the ingredient list, you will find that there is some micellar casein protein included in the mix. This is a much slower releasing protein and will definitely keep you fuller for longer, making the PhD diet whey ideal for a meal replacing shake.

Phd Diet Whey Ingredients

PhD premium protein blend contains some great additional ingredients to aid weight-loss, such as 2,500mg of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) per 100g, green tea extract and acetyl L-carnitine and Milk Protein Concentrate (of which 80% is Micellar Casein). Let’s take a closer look at each of these and how they can help you lose weight.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a vital fatty acid that is essential for good health. CLA is believed to help decrease the amount of body fat while making you feel fuller for longer. Naturally, for example, you can get higher sources of CLA from grass fed beef over the grain fed counterpart. It is also a potent antioxidant, which can help prevent and fight against cancer. Natural is the best way, but sometimes that’s just not possible and that’s where a good quality supplement can help.

Green Tea Extract

Clinical studies suggest that there’s a relationship between green tea extract and weight loss. Green tea extract burns fats and boosts metabolism. Researchers point to the catechins in green tea as being responsible for its fat burning properties. Green tea extract contains around double the antioxidant-active ingredients than both vitamin C and vitamin E. When combined with caffeine it is reported to be most effective. Green tea is packed with powerful antioxidant, cancer-fighting goodness! Polyphenols are the main antioxidant found in green tea extract. These have been found to help prevent cancer.

Acetyl L-carnitine

Acetyl L-carnitine is a form of the carnitine amino acid. The short story about how it works is that this powerful amino acid helps to transport fat into the cells to be used as energy. For the carnitine to be most effective, you should ensure that you have sufficient intake of omega-3s in your diet or get a good quality supplement. It’s fitting, then, that PhD have thrown in some additional flaxseed which is high in omega-3 fatty acids.

The full ingredients list is PhD Premium Protein Blend (Whey Protein Concentrate (27%), Milk Protein Concentrate (26%) (of which 56% is Micellar Casein), Soya Protein Isolate), Cocoa Powder, Waxy Barley Flour, Golden Brown Flaxseed Powder, Reduced Fat Cocoa Powder, Thickeners (Acacia Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum), Flavouring, CLA Powder (contains Milk Protein, Lecithin, Vitamin E) Acetyl L-Carnitine, Green Tea Extract, Sodium Chloride, Sweetener (Sucralose)

Phd diet whey Flavors

PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein comes in more flavors than most other protein supplement brands. Here’s a list of their inventive flavors: Vanilla Creme Strawberry, Belgian Chocolate, Banana, White Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Lemon & Blueberry, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Peanut and Cookies & Cream.

The shake mixes well with no lumps in sight, but it is a little grainy, which is apparently due to the flaxseed.

Blending it with semi-skimmed milk (always tastes much, much better than with water) and a banana or some other frozen fruit will give a refreshing and tasty protein shake.

Who Is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Best For?

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is the ideal supplement for people looking to gain lean muscle mass while cutting body fat. It is high on protein but low on calorie and sugar which makes it perfect for people who are working out.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder is however not engineered to add bulk to someone. While it supports muscle recovery and growth, it isn’t mixed for building large muscles.

Some people are allergic to whey protein. If you know you are or have a sensitivity to it, do not use PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein.

Benefits of Diet Whey

Diet Whey by PhD performance Nutrition provides numerous advantages. The diet whey is a low-calorie protein shake which contains 36 G protein per serving, and also contains multiple sources that provides your body with different types of proteins released into the blood in various phases which offer an amino acid sputter effect.

Another advantage is Diet Whey’s low carb consumption of just a few grams and its low-calorie content means it can fit into almost every diet; whether you’re carb cycling, following a ketogenic (keto) diet or just looking for something tasty that is low in calories, diet whey would be the perfect option.

Diet Whey also delivers golden brown flaxseed powder, conjugated linoleic acid powder, L-Carnitine and Green Tea Extract which all support fat loss.

Preparation and Usage

This product can used up to 3 times daily to help support adequate protein intake.

Directions of Use

25g serving: Add 1 scoop of powder (25g) to 175ml of ice-cold water and shake or blend for 10 seconds.

50g serving: Add 2 scoops of powder (50g) to 350ml of ice-cold water and shake or blend for 10 seconds.

You can mix it with yoghurt to make a delicious dessert or combine with oats for a nutritious breakfast.

PhD Diet Whey Protein Powder Customer Reviews

We’re all different, but it’s helpful to hear what others who are on the diet whey protein supplement have to say about their experience.

Some customers had this to say;

Having tried various protein powders, I decided to give this one a try. It tastes delicious and is so smooth!

I bought this powder as a break from my regular protein powder from Protein World and I wish I never had. The texture is vile and doesn’t mix at all so when I attempt to drink it my mouth is filled with thick, sticky lumps of powder. The taste is also nothing like chocolate and is instead more like licking dust. The only way I have been able to use this powder is by downing it all in one and the only reason I continue to use it is because of how expensive it was. DON’T BUY IT. It’s not worth the money and is by far the worst protein powder I have ever tried.

And finally

Bought this a few weeks ago and have been using it in shakes and adding it into cooking/baking. It tastes amazing in protein pancakes and definitely curbs my chocolate cravings

PhD diet whey had an average rating of 3.0/5 on Trustpilot and 4.4/5 on amazon.

Is PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Protein Safe?

A protein supplement should not be taken in excess as too much of the added ingredients could result in negative side effects. There are some possible side effects from using the supplement and could differ from person to person.

Customers complained of some instances of belly aches, cramping, and diarrhea.

Others reported of feeling sick after taking the protein shakes.

There is no such thing as a miracle fat burner, so you should not sacrifice a good, clean diet even if you are taking this. I’d recommend using it as a meal replacement. Perhaps mid-afternoon to stop you from snacking on biscuits or in the evening if that’s the time when you are most likely to pig-out on rubbish food.

Supplement Reviews

PhD Diet Whey Powder

Phd diet whey powder review.

Diet Whey Powder is a supplement produced by UK based manufacturer, PhD Supplements. This supplement states that it can help people to lose weight when following a weight management nutritional plan. This review will aim to understand how this supplement can achieve this by looking at the ingredients within the product.

Ingredients

Whey/ milk / soya protein concentrate.

Whey, soy and milk protein helps aid muscle protein synthesis when combined with resistance training (1, 2). Other key features include increasing muscle mass (3), an increase in lean body mass (4) and greater recovery from exercise (5). Longer periods of supplementation have shown greater gains in fat free mass (6).

Muscle protein synthesis is increased due to high concentration of Leucine (BCAA) which is a signalling molecule needed to increase muscle protein synthesis (7). Consumption of whey protein helps increase muscle mass due to a greater amount of peripheral nitrogen retention whereas soy protein has been found to have a greater effect on splanchnic protein synthesis (8).

The reason for greater recovery of exercise can be due to a post exercise insulin response (9, 10) which means glycogen resynthesis occurs rapidly so exercise can be prolonged, with greater training volume increased hypertrophy and decreased muscle damage.

Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder has been found to include flavonoids which are antioxidants, they can aid in the oxidation of LDL, (11,12) and augments the antioxidant defence system (13). Cocoa powder has also been found to stimulate nitric oxide production which can reduce oxidative stress and reduce the risk of heart attack (14).

Waxy Barley Flour

Waxy Barley Flour has numerous health benefits. Among them includes lowering cholesterol (15), blood pressure (16) and heart disease (17). Due to barley consisting of mainly fiber both soluble and insoluble it can slow stomach emptying which can give the feeling of being fuller for longer (18). This in turn can help balance blood sugar levels and aid in weight loss.

Golden Brown Flaxseed Powder

Flaxseed has several health properties including being an antioxidant (19), the ability to lower blood pressure (20) and consists of Omega 3 fatty acids which include numerous health benefits such as lowering cholesterol (21) and also plays a role in reducing oxidative stress which leads to reducing cardiovascular disease (22).

Acacia / Xanthan Gum

Acacia gum and Xanthan Gum are water soluble dietary fibres, which have been reported to reduce total cholesterol; however there seems to be insufficient evidence to confirm this theory. (23)

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) has been shown to have weight loss properties (24); there are several reasons for this which includes an increase in energy metabolism (25), insulin resistance (26), stimulation of lipolysis, which is due to an impaired signalling which reduces triglyceride synthesis and releases free fatty acid which normally occurs when energy demand rises (27). Other mechanisms include a suppression of appetite (28), induced adipocyte apoptosis which decreases body fat mass and increased energy expenditure (29).

Green Tea Extract

Green tea supplementation has been shown to have several health properties including an increase in plasma antioxidant which will lead to a lowering of oxidative damage (30,31), decreased blood pressure (32,33) and it can protect against coronary atherosclerosis (34). Other health effects that green tea can have includes a lowering of cholesterol, an increase of insulin activity (35) and a regulation of blood glucose levels which can help reduce body fat.

Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride is otherwise known as salt. It is theorised that sodium chloride can help prevent cramps as the key mechanism in muscle contraction is the flooding of the action potential in the muscle membrane, and so if there is a sodium deficiency it may cause the muscle to cramp (36).

Sucralose is a sweetener that is calorie free. This ingredient is used in many products and is used to make the product taste sweeter and does not have any nutritional benefit.

The description of this supplement stated that it can help aid weight loss with someone who is on a weight management nutritional plan. This supplement can achieve the claims with the ingredients within this supplement including the waxy barley flour which can keep satiety high and CLA powder which can increase metabolism.

This supplement can also help reduce cholesterol with cholesterol lowering properties in several ingredients and may aid in muscle gain with the inclusion of milk, whey and soya protein.

This supplement is recommended to be taken once a day, pre-exercise. This product has no banned substances when referring to the WADA prohibited list when observing the label/ingredients posted on the website.

The best protein powders for women, rated by nutritionists

These tried and tested blends help muscle growth, boost energy levels and support your overall wellbeing

Proteins are compounds formed of essential amino acids that do all sorts of vital jobs in the body, helping with muscle growth and repair, improving bone health, boosting the immune system and supporting brain function.

While you should be able to get enough protein through your diet alone, for those who are exercising regularly, going through menopause , or just aren't getting enough from what they eat, supplementing with a protein powder can help.

Not all powders are created equal though, so how do you know which one is right for you? That’s where the Good Housekeeping Institute comes in. Our experts tested the best whey and vegan protein blends on the market to help you find the ones that will help you hit your new year health and fitness goals.

At a glance, here are our winners, but scroll on for our in-depth reviews and to learn more about this essential macronutrient.

Best for mixability

Best vegan protein powder

Form nutrition vegan protein: chocolate hazelnut, why is protein so important for women.

Protein intake is important for everyone, but it's particularly essential for women.

“Protein supports muscle growth and repair, especially after exercise,” explains dietician Nichola Ludlam-Raine . “It helps in the production of enzymes and hormones and in maintaining bone health, which is particularly important for post-menopausal women who are at a higher risk of osteoporosis.

“It also supports the production of collagen and keratin, two proteins key to healthy hair , skin and nails .”

How much protein do women need?

Individual requirements vary from person to person. But research shows that on average, women require 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight – so, for example, if you weigh 70kg, you should be eating around 56g of protein each day.

However, if you're exercising on top of this, experts recommend upping your intake. Women who are more active or engage in strength training exercises may need “1-2g of protein per kilogram of body weight,” says Ludlam-Raine.

You should be able to reach the recommended protein intake through a balanced diet, including beef, chicken, salmon, nuts, eggs, lentils and tofu. However, if you're struggling or would like to increase your protein levels, then a supplement could help.

Menopause can also affect how our bodies process protein. According to Holland and Barrett retail health lead, Anojan Arulan anthan , research indicates that post-menopausal women tend to display “diminished levels of lean muscle mass in contrast to pre-menopausal women”.

Combined with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, it’s important to ensure you’re getting sufficient protein at this stage.

Are some protein powders better than others?

Quality, nutritional value, flavour and price are all key elements to consider before you make your choice, and some will come down to personal preference.

Nutritionist and co-founder of Café Volonte , Vidushi Binani, advises “avoiding ones with too many artificial sweeteners and flavours” in the ingredients list, as excessive consumption could lead to adverse health risks.

She also says those using vegan protein should ensure the blend includes “sufficient complete protein.” This is a protein that contains all essential amino acids, as the body cannot make them on its own.

What are the benefits of protein powders?

When taken as part of a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle, these are some of the key benefits of protein powders.

They can help to tone by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat when combined with a regular exercise routine.
They can help with muscle recovery post-workout.
They are a quick and convenient way to increase protein levels and remain fuller for longer.

How we test

We asked four leading sports nutritionists – Rob Hobson , Tai Ibitoye , Lee Amico and Sinead Roberts – to help us find the best protein powders on the market, including both whey and vegan options.

They assessed each product based on the quality of its ingredients, nutritional make-up and formulation. Judging was extremely stringent and only the ones that met their high standards were put forward for further testing.

Back at the GHI, our panel of fitness experts and food testers rated the protein powders on flavour, texture, aroma and ease of use. Based on the feedback from our nutritionists and testers, each product was then awarded a final score.

We've also included two protein powders from the foodspring x Davina McCall protein range , which were approved by Ludlham-Raine and tested by the GHI experts over a two-week period.

Without further ado, these are the protein powders that are worth your time.

The best whey protein powders for women

Score: 94/100

Per 30g serving: 112kcals, 25g protein, 0.7g carbs, 0.1g fat

Our joint winner came out top for quality of ingredients and taste. Foodspring packs 26g of whey protein isolate into each serving and nine essential amino acids to help you build muscle and recover properly after exercise.

The refreshing sherbet lemon flavour was likened to a “still lemonade” by one of our testers, which makes a change from the typical milkshake-style blends. The ingredients list is short as well, which is always a good sign. Put simply, it's a solid all-rounder.

Per 31g serving: 116kcals, 24g protein, 1.6g carbs, 1.4g fat

If you’ve ever dabbled in the world of protein powders, you may recognise this hefty tub of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. It’s a staple lining gym-goers’ shelves, so of course we had to test it, and it didn’t disappoint.

Each serving contains an impressive 24g of protein and our panellists were big fans of the silky smooth texture. They also said it had a nice level of sweetness, which masked the “whey flavour”, without tasting artificial. It's a gold star from us.

Myprotein Clear Whey: Cranberry & Raspberry

Per 20g serving: 85kcals, 20g protein, 0.9g carbs, 0g fat

Another lighter, clear whey option, this one scored highly for its refreshing, fruity flavours. It contains a decent 20g of protein, as well as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are shown to prevent muscle damage; however, it's important to note that most people will get this through their diet without the need for additional intake.

Most of our panel enjoyed the “fruity and sharp” berry notes - it is a sweet one, so it will come down to personal taste. The texture is slightly thick, but “very drinkable”.

Score: 93/100

Per serving: 113kcals, 26g protein, 4.9g carbs and 1.0g fat

Our panel loved the sweet, gingerbread-esque flavour of this Biscoff-inspired powder from Protein Works and raved about the crunchy biscuit pieces, which added texture.

It wasn’t just the moreish flavour that earned this one its high score though – its nutritional value also impressed our experts. It has a decent 26g of protein per shake and is enriched with vitamins, including B5, which helps the body use and store energy from the protein. The resealable packaging is convenient for keeping it fresh in your gym bag , too. Oh, and if Biscoff isn’t your cup of tea, there are also banoffee, strawberries and cream and chocolate orange flavours to choose from.

Per 25g serving: 91kcals, 17g protein, 2.8g carbs, 1.4g fat

This whey supports muscles with 17g of protein per serving, and contains three key ingredients that PHD claims support fat loss: L-carnitine, a chemical that helps the body turn fat into energy; CLA (or, conjugated linoleic acids), which is believed to help reduce body fat deposits and improve immune function, and green tea extract.

You also get 7mg caffeine sprinkled into each serving to help maintain energy levels throughout the day. Although if you tend to exercise at night and want to refuel post-workout, this may not be the powder for you.

Overall, though, our panel enjoyed the pronounced chocolate flavour and thick milkshake-like texture.

Score: 90/100

Per serving: 112 kcals, 22g protein, 2.1g carbs and 1.5g fat

Another top choice for chocolate lovers, MaxiNutrition’s signature whey powder has a smooth, silky cocoa flavour our testers enjoyed. They liked that it tasted more natural than many chocolate protein powders on the market and rated the light consistency and lack of aftertaste.

It has a good 22g hit of protein for your post-workout smoothie but if you want some extra carbs to supercharge your recovery, we suggest whizzing it up with a frozen banana and a dollop of peanut butter.

Score: 84/100

Per 40g serving: 148kcals, 31g protein, 2g carbs, 1g fat

Formulated in collaboration with leading nutritionists, this blend is designed to help maintain high energy levels and encourage healthy fat burning. It includes energy-boosting ingredients such as acetyl l-carnitine, which increases endurance and reduces fatigue, as well as inulin, a prebiotic that aids digestion by increasing good bacteria in the gut.

It also boasts antioxidants such as yerba mate, said to enhance physical performance through its energy boosting properties, and bilberries, which are shown to help cardiovascular health.

Each 40g serving contains an impressive 31g of protein and had a strong vanilla flavour, which our panel enjoyed and said helped to mask the protein taste. As a gluten, soy and allergen-free option that’s suitable for those on halal or kosher diets, Innermost has created a versatile powder in The Lean.

Foodspring x Davina McCall Protein + Relax: Honey & Spices

Score: 80/100

Per 30g serving: 108kcal, 22g protein, 4.2g carbohydrates, 0.3g fat

Presenter, fitness guru and menopause campaigner, Davina McCall , has collaborated with supplement brand foodspring to create this blend aimed at supporting both physical and mental recovery.

As well as 22g of slow-digesting casein protein to help your muscles recover gradually, it contains ashwagandha, an adaptogen derived from plants that's been used in ayurvedic medicine for years. Research shows this ingredient can help relieve stress and anxiety by controlling cortisol levels and supporting our stress regulatory system. Other ingredients include calcium for bone health and vitamins to boost immunity and energy levels.

Our panel enjoyed the “perfectly balanced” flavours of sweet honey and ginger, cinnamon and black pepper. They blended the powder with cold water; however, if you want to drink it like Davina, mix with warm frothy milk for a relaxing evening treat.

Score: 72/100

Per 30g serving: 109kcal, 20g protein, 3g carbohydrates, 1.2g fat

Another powder from the foodspring x Davina range, this blend includes essential nutrients such as zinc and magnesium to sustain energy levels throughout the day and help with focus and concentration.

It also includes ginseng root extract, which claims to reduce stress and boost serotonin levels, as well as vitamin C, which works to support the immune function and the absorption of iron to fight off fatigue.

The powder mixed well with water, creating a smooth and easy-to-drink shake that our panel described as “quite delicious”. Like the Relax blend, you can also whizz it up with warm milk for a protein-packed, post-workout hot chocolate.

The best vegan protein powders for women

Score: 95/100

Per 40g serving: 154kcals, 30g protein, 2g carbs, 2.9g fat

This vegan rice and pea blend promises to help you achieve peak performance levels during exercise and give you sustained energy throughout the day. Each serving contains a high 30g of protein to support muscle growth and maintenance.

Form Nutrition uses high-quality ingredients, ensuring they're GMO (genetically modified organism) free and organic wherever possible. Our panel praised the brand’s “distinct” plastic-free, compostable packaging.

Huel Ready to Drink: Chocolate

Per bottle: 400kcals, 22g protein, 32g carbs, 19g fat

If you’re looking for a grab and go option, Huel’s premixed bottles are ideal for throwing in your gym bag. The pea and hemp-based protein contains all 26 essential vitamins and minerals – specifically B12 and calcium – which can be hard to get on a vegan diet.

It also boasts a decent 22g of protein, and it was a real crowd-pleaser with our panel who liked the chocolate flavouring, which they found masked most of the protein taste.

This option is a nutritionally complete meal in a bottle; however, it's important to note that you shouldn’t only be consuming liquids as part of a healthy, balanced diet. As it’s higher in fat (19g) than other drinks, it will be more filling initially, but because it’s not a solid meal, it will digest more quickly and won’t keep you full for as long.

Protein Works Vegan Wonder Shake: Banana

Per 25g serving: 94kcals, 20g protein, 1.9 carbs, 0.6g fat

Pumpkin, soy, pea and rice – the famous four of vegan protein sources – are all included in the Wondershake, with the latter two considered an optimal plant protein blend. Together, they add up to 20g of protein per serving.

We tried the banana flavour, which had hints of “oaty-ness” that went down well with our panel. The shake has a smooth texture and is slightly watery, but in a way that feels fresh and easy to drink. If banana isn’t your thing, other delicious-sounding flavours include strawberries and cream and salted caramel.

Maxi Nutrition MaxVegan Protein Powder

Score: 87/100

Per serving: 118kcals, 22g protein, 0.90g carbs and 2.6g fat

MaxiNutrition’s plant-based offering is just as impressive as its classic whey powder. Made from an optimal pea and almond blend, it contains a mega 22g of protein per serving.

Testers described the chocolate flavour as “subtle” and “malty”, which was a refreshing change from some of the protein powders on the market, which can taste quite intense and sweet. The consistency was on the thinner side, so we’d recommend blitzing it up into a smoothie with your favourite plant-based milk and frozen fruit, or simply add less water to your shake.

Foodspring Vegan protein: Vanilla

Per 30g serving: 114kcals, 21g protein, 0.5g carbs, 2.8g fat

Foodspring has considered alternative dietary needs with this vegan, gluten and soy free powder. The 21g of protein per serving is a blend of pea, sunflower seed and chickpeas, and it also contains vitamins such as zinc and calcium, which are often lacking for those on a plant-based diet.

Our panel liked the clean packaging and short “no nonsense” ingredients list. An inoffensive vanilla flavour also helped to mask the protein element. Our only minor gripe was the texture, which wasn’t quite as smooth as some of the others we've tried.

Innermost The Fit Protein: Strawberry

Score: 85/100

Per 40g serving: 154kcals, 31g protein, 4.3g carbs, 1.1g fat

Low on energy? With its The Fit protein, Innermost aims to support muscle repair and recovery, while also rehydrating and restoring energy levels to help you push through the day. With 31g of protein, our panel enjoyed the strong strawberry flavour in a handy shake format.

It can also be added to smoothies, porridge, pancakes or just about anything, making it the perfect option for a post-workout drink or snack. The high protein count will keep you fuller for longer too, minus the high calorie count.

It’s worth noting that it contains rhodiola root, which is said to reduce levels of physical exhaustion; however, this may not be suitable for those who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or have an auto-immune disease.

33Fuel Premium Vegan Protein Powder

Score: 73/100

Per serving: 145kcals, 20g protein, 15g carbs and 2g fat

Thanks to its high carb and protein content, this vegan protein powder from our pals at 33Fuel was popular with our nutritionists for its post-workout recovery properties. Grab a shake post-workout to replenish your energy stores and boost recovery.

The experts were also impressed with the organic, all-natural ingredients list, which features organic banana, raw cacao, coconut sugar and sunflower protein. The consistency is on the thin side, so it’s worth blending it with milk if you enjoy a thicker shake.

As a bonus, the packaging is fully recyclable, and a portion of every purchase goes to One Tree Planted .

The verdict on protein powders

The Foodspring x Davina McCall Protein + Relax powder is a great option for those who want to build muscle and supplement protein levels during perimenopause and menopause. And if it’s good is good enough for the fitness guru and menopause campaigner herself...

Alternatively, if you’re after a vegan shake, Form Nutrition's Performance Protein is full of protein, free from artificial ingredients and extremely tasty, according to our panel. No time to mix? Then grab a Huel’s Ready-to Drink bottle for some quick, convenient post-gym fuel.

Once the preserve of bodybuilders wanting arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, protein powders are big business. The global protein supplements market is now forecast to grow from $20.39bn in 2023 to $22.25bn in 2024, helped along by the plant-based protein supplements market, which is currently valued at $1.12bn worldwide.

It’s statistics like these that prove people are waking up to the importance of protein consumption for good health, fitness and wellbeing , and acknowledging they probably don’t get enough of it in their diet .

As one of the three main macronutrients (along with fat and carbohydrates), protein is essential for promoting various processes in the body, from effective digestion and immune function to energy regulation and even improved mental health (this is thanks to protein’s amino acids, which form the vital building blocks for neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, to help regulate mood and cognitive function). It’s these same amino acids that act as the Lego pieces your body needs to help build, maintain, and repair muscle tissue, whether you’ve had a hard weightlifting session in the gym or a hard day running around ticking off your to-do list.

It’s somewhat unfortunate, then, that our bodies don’t produce amino acids naturally. To enjoy their mind and body benefits, you need to ensure you get enough protein in your diet to hit the British Nutrition Foundation’s recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 0.75g of protein per kilogram of weight per person; a figure this study suggests is the bare minimum, and certainly not optimised for active types (many nutritionists recommend that people engaging in 150 minutes of exercise a week or more should be aiming for 1.2 to 1.5g of protein per kilo of weight per person).

Which helps to explain why protein powders are proving so popular with gym bunnies and wellbeing warriors alike, all seeking a tasty yet convenient way to boost their protein intake without having to reach for a satiating family-sized bucket of chicken wings.

But with hundreds of options to choose from, it can be hard to know which are the best protein powders to help you reach your goals. With that in mind, we’ve done the hard work for you and found the best protein powders and drinks on the market right now, to help boost your brain function, muscle gains, and mood.

How we tested the best protein powders

Regular use of protein powder can take anywhere between six and 12 weeks to make a difference to muscle tone. Therefore, we looked at how much protein each powder offered per serving, and compared flavour, ease of use, cost per serving and added nutritional benefits.

We tried the powders with water, semi-skimmed milk and oat milk

Each powder was made up as per the packet instructions with water, semi skimmed milk and oat milk (on separate occasions), to see how easily it blended and how it affected taste. These are the powders that really packed a punch...

The best protein powders for 2024 are:

Best protein powder overall – Uperform active whey & collagen: £39.95, U-perform.co.uk
Best budget protein powder – Myprotein impact whey: £19.49, Myprotein.com
Best protein powder for muscle gain – Optimum Nutrition gold standard 100% whey protein: £14.99, Optimumnutrition.com
Best protein powder for weight loss – PhD diet whey protein powder: £21.95, Amazon.co.uk

Uperform active whey & collagen

Best : Protein powder overall
Size : 900g (30 servings)
Type of protein : Whey protein
Flavours available : Chocolate, strawberry
Protein per serving : 22.9g
Absolutely delicious
Contains 15g collagen per serving

If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes as amazing as its nutritional content sounds, this is the winner by a country mile. A world first, it features a unique blend of 22.9g of whey protein and 15g of bioactive collagen peptides per serving: a combination that the latest science suggests is way more effective than protein alone for building lean muscle mass when combined with resistance training.

Formulated by former Olympian and renowned sport scientist Professor Greg Whyte OBE, this Informed Sport certified blend is proven to strengthen and repair lean muscle while maximising hypertrophy (muscle building). It also speeds up the post-workout recovery of muscles and connective tissue, whether you’ve completed a marathon or simply need to recuperate from the day-to-day stresses of an active lifestyle.

Sadly, this protein powder is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, which might help to explain why it tastes so good (coming from a tester who usually follows a gluten- and dairy-free diet but made an exception for this review). The strawberry flavour is reminiscent of Angel Delight, while the chocolate flavour is categorically the best of all on test here. Both flavours mix beautifully with water, as directed, and produce smooth shakes that are non-powdery and void of any artificial flavourings or weird aftertaste. In short, you’ll look forward to drinking this protein powder rather than dreading it.

Myprotein impact whey

Best : Budget protein powder
Size : 1kg (33 servings)
Flavours available : 40, including cookies and cream, chocolate brownie and cinnamon danish
Protein per serving : 23g
Loads of flavours
Reasonably priced

Vegetarian and gluten-free, Myprotein’s impact whey packs a mighty punch of 23g of protein per 114 calorie serving. It has also been ranked grade A – the best of the best – by independent laboratory tests.

Rich in essential amino acids and BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), it’s the UK’s favourite brand of protein powder, and with 40 flavours to choose from, from peach tea and salted caramel to chocolate mint and golden syrup, it’s easy to see why. Informed Sport certified, it contains 2g of leucine per serving, which is needed for protein synthesis, and also contributes to post-workout recovery.

With around 1g to 1.5g of sugar per serving, depending on the flavour, it hasn’t been bulked out with sweeteners, despite all the unusual and saccharin-sounding flavours, and contains just 1.9g of fat and 1.8g of carbs per shake. Best of all, it’s wallet-friendly – a 1kg bag costing less than £20 will give you 33 servings, working out to just 57p per portion – and comes in widely recyclable plastic tubs.

SIS rego clear recovery

Best : Protein powder for recovery
Size : 460g (10 servings) or 1.38kg (30 servings)
Type of protein : Clear whey
Flavours available : Raspberry and cranberry or peach
Protein per serving : 20g
Highly refreshing
Great for recovery

For taste and texture alone, this protein powder deserves a gold medal. Light and refreshing, it’s made from a clear whey protein that mixes beautifully with water, delivering a thirst-quenching squash-like drink that’s especially enjoyable on hot days and after sweaty sessions.

While the peach flavour is delicious, it’s the raspberry and cranberry variety that’s the real star of the show. After much taste-testing, we’d say it tastes just like the fruity yet creamy insides of a Fab ice lolly, which is a win for us.

In terms of nutritional content, this low-sugar, Informed Sport registered formula delivers 20g of protein per serving, plus an additional 21g of carbohydrates to support recovery after exercise and kickstart the refuelling of muscle glycogen stores to aid muscle repair and reconditioning. Ideal for people who train most days or at a high intensity, it’s popular with professional footballers, triathletes, and long-distance runners, and naturally includes leucine – an essential amino acid used in the biosynthesis of protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (muscle building).

Optimum Nutrition gold standard 100% whey protein

Best : Protein powder for muscle gain
Size : From 310g (10 servings) up to 2.27kg (73 servings)
Flavours available : 14, including white chocolate raspberry, caramel toffee fudge and delicious strawberry
Protein per serving : 24g
Packed with amino acids
High quality protein

This multiple award-winning product claims to be the world’s number one (bestselling) whey protein powder, thanks to the whopping 24g of protein you get per serving for 120 calories or fewer. If lean muscle-gain is your goal, this protein powder will help you reach it faster, thanks to its whey formula – whey essentially being the liquid that is scraped off cheese – which is said to be the most effective protein for the body to use, according to the Journal of Applied Physiology .

Widely used by pro athletes, the cherry on the top must be the extra 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs, which include essential nutrients such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine that can help to stimulate the building of protein in muscle and potentially reduce muscle breakdown after weight training and high-intensity workouts. Even better, it contains an additional 4g of glutamine and glutamine acid, to aid digestion.

Smooth, creamy and yummy, this offering might be a little on the sweet side for some but there’s a wide variety of flavours to try, so you’re sure to find one to your liking – the thousands of five-star reviews say it all.

Foodspring x Davina McCall protein + relax

Best : Protein powder for relaxation
Size : 480g (16 servings)
Type of protein : Casein and whey protein
Flavours available : Honey and spices
Protein per serving : 22g
Relaxing smell and taste
Slow-releasing protein

The foodspring x Davina McCall range consists of two elevated protein powders created specifically to support the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The protein + focus powder (£32.99, Foodspring.co.uk ) features added vitamins and adaptogens, such as ginseng, to boost energy and mental performance, while this protein + relax blend has been created to help you unwind in the evening.

In addition to whey protein, this powder features casein – a slow-releasing form of protein that steadily elevates amino acid levels for four to five hours after you consume it (unlike whey protein which stays in the blood stream for 90 minutes). This makes this powder ideal for aiding muscle recovery while you sleep. To help replenish and regenerate the body and calm the nervous system, there’s the bonus of added vitamins and minerals such as riboflavin, B6, B12, vitamin C and vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and iron, plus ashwagandha to help manage physical and mental stress.

Caffeine-free and easy to digest, it has a soothing, almost floral honey and spices flavour, which fans of herbal tea will love, and can be enjoyed either cold or hot (top tip: Davina McCall likes to drink it with warm milk before bed to replace her evening mug of cocoa).

PhD diet whey protein powder

Best : Protein powder for weight loss
Size : 1kg (40 servings)
Type of protein : Multiple, including whey and casein
Flavours available : 12, including white chocolate and raspberry, cherry bakewell, and salted caramel
Protein per serving : 17g
Leaves you feeling fuller for longer
Includes fat-burning ingredients

Billed as the “best diet protein on the market”, this low-calorie, high-protein, low-carb blend is tailored for individuals with a focus on maintaining or building lean muscle mass while prioritising fat reduction.

You get 17g of lean protein per serving, derived from multiple sources (including whey and casein) that release into the bloodstream at different stages to support muscle growth and help you to feel fuller for longer. Plus, you get the added benefit of fat-burning ingredients such as L-carnitine, CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), flaxseeds, and green tea extract to support your fat loss and lean muscle goals.

We tried a few of the 12 flavours, including banana, salted caramel, and cookies and cream. All tasted great using water alone and produced smooth, creamy shakes with zero lumps, but they’re probably best enjoyed in a smoothie, or added to plain porridge. With one serving containing 1.3g sugar, less than 3g carbs, and less than 100 calories, it’s a good choice for anyone who wants to watch their weight and support their training while avoiding muscle deterioration.

Form performance protein

Best : Protein powder for sensitive stomachs
Size : 520g (13 servings)
Type of protein : Organic pea, brown rice, and pumpkin seed protein
Flavours available : Banoffee, chocolate hazelnut, chocolate peanut, tiramisu and vanilla
Protein per serving : 30g
Easy to digest
Boosts immunity

Here’s another multiple award-winner but, this time, it’s plant-based. Form’s performance protein vegan blend combines wholesome ingredients such as organic pea, brown rice, and pumpkin seed protein to deliver a whopping 30g of protein, plus 5g of BCAAs per serving, to provide a complete amino acid profile that supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

Presented in 100 per cent plastic-free, compostable packaging, this gluten-free powder contains added anti-inflammatory ingredients such as curcumin and black pepper extract to boost immunity and increase the absorption of nutrients, along with digestive enzymes such as amylase, protease, and lactase to aid natural digestion and reduce bloating.

We tasted each of the five flavours available, and found they mixed well with water, producing smooth, creamy shakes. It’s fair to say they’re all on the sweet side – some people might find the vanilla and banoffee flavours a little too sweet. However, the chocolate peanut and chocolate hazelnut flavours are deliciously nutty, while the tiramisu flavour isn’t far off an iced coffee or frappe when mixed with water. Blend any of the flavours with almond milk, a banana, and a large teaspoon of nut butter, and you’ll have a yummy treat that ticks all the boxes.

Arbonne FeelFit pea protein simply1

Best : Protein powder for busy types
Size : 960g (30 servings)
Type of protein : Pea, cranberry, rice protein
Flavours available : Coffee
Contains caffeine for your morning fix
Packed with vitamins and minerals

This protein powder is one of the priciest in our round-up, but it’s a bestseller for a reason. Packed with a massive 20 vitamins and minerals – including 38 per cent RDA of vitamin E, 36 per cent RDA of vitamin B6 and folic acid, and 34 RDA of vitamin C, as well as potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, calcium, and biotin – you get way more bang for your buck. It’s ideal for busy types who aren’t always able to balance their diet or who forget to take their daily multi-vitamin.

With 20g of easy-to-digest plant-based protein per serving, derived from pea, cranberry, and rice, this keto-friendly blend boasts 19 amino acids to contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass and overall wellbeing. Additionally, it has 15mg of caffeine per serving, to help wake you up in the morning or reenergise you after workouts.

Being vegan, gluten-free, kosher and halal, it’s a great choice for those following restricted diets, with 0.5g of sugar and 3g or carbohydrates per serving. It also mixes well, tastes lovely with water alone, and isn’t overly sweet.

Pulsin unflavoured pea protein

Best : Protein powder to cook with
Size : 250g or 1kg
Type of protein : Pea protein
Flavours available : Unflavoured
Protein per serving : 8g per heaped dessert spoon
No artificial ingredients, added fillers or sugars

Make no mistake, this pea protein powder doesn’t taste great when simply mixed with water but that’s not what it’s intended for. Heat-stable and unflavoured, it’s specifically designed for cooking with, and is easily incorporated into a variety of hot dishes (sweet or savoury), from porridge and stews to soups and curries, to boost your protein consumption.

This protein powder has been a cupboard staple of our tester for a couple of years – ever since it was recommended to them by a top nutritionist who put them on a gluten- and dairy-free diet to improve their gut health.

To easily add 8g of protein to your meal, all you need to do is sprinkle a heaped dessert spoon of this powder into your dish during cooking. Do this two or three times a day, and you’ll soon be hitting your protein goals without having to think about chugging down shakes. Versatile, low in carbs and 100 per cent vegan, it’s also made with no artificial ingredients, added fillers or sugars, and is a great alternative to whey protein.

Warrior protein water

Best : Protein powder alternative
Size : 500ml bottles
Type of protein : Collagen
Flavours available : Tropical, berry
Protein per serving : 10g
Tastes amazing
Great for on the go

Can’t be bothered with the faff of shaking and mixing post-workout (especially after an arm workout)? Step forward, the latest addition to Warrior’s award-winning range of high protein bars, flapjacks, and supplements.

The new Warrior protein water is great for hydrating on the go and provides an extremely refreshing alternative to heavy protein powders, minus the carbs and sugars. Easy-to-consume, this high protein, sugar-free drink contains less than 50 calories per 500ml bottle and is packed with electrolytes and essential vitamins, including vitamins E, B3, and D3, to keep you feeling hydrated and healthy.

If that wasn’t enough, one bottle contains 10g of bovine collagen peptides, to nourish your skin, hair and nails, while conveniently boosting your protein intake. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and free-from genetically modified ingredients, it comes in two delicious flavours – tropical and berry – which are bursting with fruitiness without tasting artificially sweet.

The verdict: Protein powders

Easy to mix and utterly delicious, Uperform active whey & collagen is possibly the best-tasting protein powder we’ve encountered. Taste and texture aside, it packs a huge protein punch and contains 15mg of added collagen per serving, to boost joint health and training gains, giving you way more bang for your buck.

A special mention goes to SIS rego clear recovery , with its light and refreshing formula. The highly quaffable flavours will revive and rehydrate you after a sweaty session, and help to refuel your muscles following tough workouts.

For soothing muscles and a speedy post-work-out recovery, these are the best massage guns
