Protein Powders 101: How to Find the Right Fit for Your Goals

posted on 2/19/25

Protein is a key player in overall health, supporting everything from muscle recovery to energy levels and even immune function. While whole foods should always be the foundation of a balanced diet, protein powders offer a convenient, versatile way to fill in the gaps—especially for busy professionals, active individuals, or anyone looking for an easy nutritional boost.

But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right one? Let’s break down three of the most common protein sources and how they can support your wellness goals.

Whey Protein: The Classic Powerhouse

Whey protein, a byproduct of cheese-making, is one of the most popular choices for a reason. It provides 20g of complete protein and 1g of fiber per serving,* making it an excellent choice for muscle recovery and overall nutrition. With a light, creamy flavor, it blends easily into smoothies, yogurt, or even baked goods for a protein-packed treat.

Soy Protein: A Plant-Based Powerhouse

For those looking for a vegan-friendly option, soy protein delivers 23g of protein per serving while offering a full range of essential amino acids.* While it’s slightly lower in methionine, it can be easily balanced within a diverse diet. Soy protein has a mild, nutty taste and mixes well into oatmeal, soups, and even coffee for a smooth, plant-powered boost.

Pea Protein: Easy on Digestion, Big on Benefits

Pea protein is an excellent choice for those with dietary sensitivities or anyone looking for a gentle, hypoallergenic option. With 21g of protein and 1g of fiber per serving,* it provides steady energy without common allergens like dairy or soy. Plus, its creamy texture makes it ideal for smoothies, baking, or even protein pancakes.

Choosing the Right Protein for Your Needs

Whether you’re looking to support an active lifestyle, improve daily nutrition, or simply make healthier choices, the right protein powder can help you reach your goals. Shaklee offers a variety of high-quality protein mixes to fit different dietary needs, all backed by science and free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, or unnecessary fillers.
