Foodspring’s range of shakes combines protein concentrate (69%) and isolate (30%). A 30g serving gives you 24g of protein, enough to support muscle protein synthesis post workout. The product also contains 9.8g of branch chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine.

Foodspring Whey Protein in use

Each serving contains 112 calories when mixed with water, so it’s a good shout for people trying to build lean muscle mass while keeping their overall energy intake in check. This powder’s low in sugar and fat and combines sucralose and the natural sweetener stevia. The sweeteners have a slightly bitter aftertaste, but it’s not strong or unpleasant.

These are the best clear protein powders

The shake mixes well to give a smooth texture and it’s pleasantly palatable when mixed with milk or water. The ingredient list is minimal and contains just the essentials of a good protein shake.

These are the best supplements for muscle growth

The packaging is 100% recyclable, and while no scoop is included this is likely to do with issues around recycling. Foodspring recommends you mix three tablespoons of powder with 300ml water to obtain the right dose and consistency.

Foodspring Whey Protein is only available in a 750g tub, and there are no discounts when you bulk buy. However, you get 25 servings from each tub, equating to just over £1 per serving. We found the tub slightly easier get into than most self-sealing pouches. It’s only available online but our order was quick to arrive.

For a portable protein fix get the best protein bars

Foodspring Whey Protein is another great-tasting shake with a smooth consistency that mixes well and delivers a decent dose of protein. It’s available in five distinctive flavours: chocolate, coconut crisp, cookies and cream, strawberry and vanilla.
