How is protein tea different from a protein shake?

Learn more about the whey protein isolate (WPI) we use.

Six key points about whey protein isolate

  • High-purity protein

    Premium whey protein isolate (WPI): 0 fat, 0 lactose, back to the purest form of protein.

  • Light and clear

    A whey protein isolate made for clear drinks: clean-tasting, and free from the thick, milky impression of traditional protein drinks.

  • Higher protein-to-calorie ratio

    Only 95 kcal per bottle, with most calories coming from protein — more nutrition for fewer calories.

  • Complete protein

    Naturally contains the 9 essential amino acids the body needs, helping support muscle health and everyday recovery.

  • Naturally contains EAAs and BCAAs

    Every 100 g of protein contains 22.9 g branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

  • A little less burden

    0 fat, 0 lactose and 0 added sugar — nutrition and low calories balanced in a 95 kcal formula.

Protein does not have to mean milkshakes.
