Protein Shakes & Protein Powders

Shop Protein Shakes & Protein Powders at Myprotein

Whether you're building a routine around the gym or simply looking to hit your daily protein targets, protein powder is one of the most practical tools in any nutrition stack. Myprotein's range spans everything from classic whey blends to plant-based options, clear protein, and high-calorie gainers — all formulated to deliver serious protein content in a format that actually fits into your day.

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, making it a staple for anyone training with a purpose. With options across different protein sources, formats, and flavours, finding the right protein shake or powder comes down to your goals, your diet, and how you like to take it.

Who Protein Shakes & Protein Powders Are For

Protein powder isn't just for bodybuilders. It's for anyone who wants a convenient, reliable way to meet their daily protein intake — gym-goers, runners, cyclists, team sport athletes, and people who simply find it easier to drink their protein than eat it. If whole-food sources alone aren't getting you to your targets, a protein shake fills the gap without the hassle.

Plant-based athletes are just as well served here. Vegan protein blends using pea, rice, and hemp deliver complete amino acid profiles without any animal-derived ingredients. Whether you're dairy-free by necessity or by choice, there's a protein powder built around your diet.

When to Use Protein Shakes & Protein Powders

The most popular time to reach for a protein shake is straight after training — it's quick, convenient, and gets protein into your system when you're ready for it. Mix with water or milk, shake, and you're done. That simplicity is a big part of why protein shakes have become a fixture in so many training routines.

That said, protein powder works at any point in the day. Some people use it as a high-protein breakfast option, others add it to oats, yoghurt, or smoothies. If there's a gap between meals where your protein intake tends to drop, a shake is an easy fix. Gainers work particularly well as a higher-calorie option for those struggling to eat enough across the day.

Protein Shakes & Protein Powders Benefits

Muscle Growth and Maintenance

Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass¹. Getting enough protein each day is the foundation of any training programme focused on building or preserving lean muscle — and protein powder makes hitting those targets significantly more manageable.

Bone Support

Protein also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones². It's easy to focus purely on muscle when thinking about protein, but adequate intake matters for skeletal health too — relevant for anyone training hard over the long term.

Convenience Without Compromise

Whole food protein sources like chicken, fish, and eggs are excellent — but they take time to prepare and aren't always practical. Protein shakes deliver 20–40g of protein per serving in under a minute. High-quality formulas like Impact Whey Protein and Impact Whey Isolate are designed to make that convenience work without cutting corners on nutritional value.

Options for Every Diet and Goal

From lean whey isolate for those keeping calories tight, to mass gainers for athletes needing a calorie surplus, to vegan blends for plant-based diets — the range covers genuinely different goals. There's no one-size-fits-all here, which means you can pick the format that actually matches how you train and eat.

FAQs

What is protein powder?

Protein powder is a concentrated source of dietary protein derived from animal or plant-based sources. Common types include whey (from milk), whey isolate, and plant-based blends using ingredients like pea or fava bean protein. It's designed to make it easier to reach daily protein targets through a convenient, mixable format.

What's the difference between whey protein and whey isolate?

Whey protein concentrate and whey isolate both come from milk, but they're processed differently. Whey isolate undergoes additional filtration, resulting in a higher protein percentage per serving with lower levels of fat and lactose. Impact Whey Protein uses whey concentrate and is a great all-round option, while Impact Whey Isolate is better suited to those prioritising a leaner nutritional profile.

How much protein powder should I take per day?

This depends on your total daily protein intake from all food sources and your individual targets. Most protein powders deliver 20–25g of protein per serving. A single daily serving is common for people using it to top up their diet, while others may use two servings depending on their overall intake from meals.

What is the best protein powder for beginners?

Impact Whey Protein Powder is a strong starting point — it's versatile, easy to mix, available in a wide range of flavours, and delivers a reliable protein content per serving. For those on a plant-based diet from the outset, Impact Vegan Protein is equally accessible and straightforward to use.

Is there a protein powder that doesn't taste like a milky shake?

Yes — Clear Whey Protein is specifically designed for people who prefer a lighter texture. It mixes into a clear, fruit-flavoured drink rather than a creamy shake, making it a popular choice in warmer weather or for anyone who finds traditional protein shakes too heavy.

Can vegans use protein powder?

Absolutely. Impact Vegan Protein uses a blend of pea and fava bean protein to deliver a complete amino acid profile — meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids — without any animal-derived ingredients. It's suitable for vegan and dairy-free diets and comes in multiple flavours.

What is a weight gainer protein powder?

Weight gainer powders, like Impact Whey Gainer, combine protein with a significant amount of carbohydrates to provide a higher overall calorie count per serving compared to standard protein powders. They're typically used by athletes or individuals who have a high calorie requirement and find it difficult to meet their intake through food alone.

Who developed Myprotein's protein powders?

Myprotein's protein powders are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who work to ensure each formula delivers accurate, effective nutritional profiles. Every product is formulated with real training needs in mind, from everyday protein support to sport-specific nutrition.

What's the difference between protein shakes and protein powder?

Protein powder refers to the dry, mixable supplement — you add water, milk, or another liquid to make a shake. Ready-to-drink protein shakes are pre-mixed and don't require any preparation. Protein powders generally offer more flexibility in terms of serving size, flavour combinations, and how you use them (mixed into food, for example), while ready-to-drink options prioritise pure convenience.

Are Myprotein protein powders suitable for use in the UAE?

Yes. Myprotein ships protein powder to the UAE, and the range is available to order online. Whether you're looking to buy protein powder in the UAE for everyday training or sport-specific nutrition, the full range — including whey, isolate, vegan blends, and gainers — is accessible through the Myprotein website.
