Protein Mix Comparisons

Protein powders and mixes are a super convenient, versatile way to get more protein into your day. But there are so many it gets confusing!


Let’s break it down so you can get the most out of them. 🌱💪🏽 From the milk-based to the plant-powered, each one offers something a little different.

 

  • Whey: This byproduct of cheese-making packs about 20g of complete protein and 1g of fiber per serving.* It has a light milky flavor and is ideal for adding to baked foods.
  • Soy: This vegan-friendly protein provides 23g of protein per serving. Because it’s low in one essential amino acid (methionine), it’s best incorporated into a diverse diet for optimal amino balance.* The taste has nutty undertones. The finely ground powder mixes well into oatmeal and soups.
  • Pea: Sourced from yellow peas, this protein gives you about 21g of protein and 1g of fiber. It’s low in methionine, so it’s best in a diverse diet to optimize amino acid balance.* Easy to digest and hypoallergenic, it lends a creamy texture to smoothies and it bakes well.


Shaklee protein mixes and powders are listed here along with their protein sources—making it easy to choose the perfect fit for your wellness goals!

 

➡️ Which protein mix is your favorite and how do you use it? I like the Caffe Latte mixed in hot water with the Up & Glowing. (Collagen + green tea)
