Looking for a whey protein to supplement your diet, support muscle recovery or simply increase your daily protein intake? With whey isolate, whey concentrate, hydrolysates, larger sizes and dozens of flavours, choosing the right product can quickly become a headache.
The price shown is not enough to compare two products. Some powders boast a high protein content, but serving size, sugar content and the blend’s ingredients can vary considerably. Here are the key criteria to consider before buying, followed by a selection suited to different types of athletes and active people.
A 2 kg tub does not necessarily contain 2 kg of protein. Flavourings, thickeners, sweeteners and other ingredients make up part of the product. To compare products accurately, check the ‘protein per 100 g’ line, then verify the amount provided per serving.
As a general guide, several of the products featured here provide between 22 g and 24 g of protein per serving, while the serving itself generally weighs between 28 g and 32 g.
Whey isolate is a whey protein that has generally undergone more extensive filtration. It may appeal to people looking for a high protein content with few carbohydrates and little fat. For everyday needs, however, a whey concentrate may suit most people who train, often at a lower cost per serving.
The term ‘hydrolysed’ indicates that the protein has undergone an additional processing stage. This does not automatically mean that it will be better tolerated, more effective or better suited to your budget.
Whey protein is derived from milk. Depending on the product and manufacturing site, the formula may also contain soya, gluten, eggs, peanuts or nuts. Always check the label for your chosen flavour, particularly if you have a known allergy or follow a specific diet.
To compare products on a consistent basis, look at all of the following:
For example, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard provides 24 g of protein per serving in several sizes. INSHAPE NUTRITION, meanwhile, provides 22.2 g in its chocolate version and 23.1 g in its vanilla version, for a serving of approximately 30 g.
If you want to limit unnecessary intake, compare the nutritional values per serving rather than the claims highlighted on the front of the pack. Optimum Nutrition formulas in 30 to 32 g servings generally state around 1 g of sugar and less than 2 g of fat per serving, depending on the flavour. Body & Fit Whey Perfection Cookies & Cream provides 22 g of protein, 1.5 g of sugar and 1.6 g of fat per 28 g serving.
These figures alone are not enough to judge the quality of a protein supplement. Taste, ease of mixing, digestive tolerance and the price per serving are just as important.
A 300 g to 500 g pouch allows you to try a flavour without immediately investing in a large pack. Larger sizes can sometimes reduce the cost per serving, but they take up more space and are less practical if you do not like the flavour.
Individual sachets are particularly convenient at work, when travelling or at the gym. They save you from carrying a large tub and make it easy to prepare a serving with a glass and a spoon, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Most products recommend mixing with 180 to 250 ml of water or milk, depending on the texture you prefer. Use the included scoop and follow the serving size stated on the packaging. Whey protein can be taken after training, between meals, or added to porridge or a smoothie.
When you take it does not replace a balanced diet. As part of a suitable diet and regular physical activity, protein contributes to the maintenance and development of muscle mass. The powder itself cannot guarantee results.
Keep the tub closed in a dry, cool place away from light. Observe the best-before date and the manufacturer’s recommendations. A protein supplement does not replace a varied and balanced diet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, undergoing medical treatment or have a health condition, ask a healthcare professional for advice.
We have put together a complete selection, updated in real time, of products meeting these strict criteria and complying with European safety regulations.
The amount depends on the product and your nutritional needs. The products featured often recommend 1 to 3 servings per day, without exceeding the amount stated on the label. Start by calculating how much protein you already get from your meals before adding a powder.
Not necessarily. Whey isolate, whey concentrate and hydrolysate have different compositions. Above all, compare their protein content, carbohydrate and fat levels, allergens and price per serving. The best choice depends on your priorities and your personal tolerance.
This depends on the date stated by the manufacturer and the storage conditions. Close the container carefully after each use and protect the powder from moisture. If its smell, appearance or taste changes unusually, do not consume it.
