Shakes

Here at Protein Works, we offer a range of shakes designed for different health and lifestyle goals. These include protein shakes, meal replacement shakes, collagen shakes, and greens shakes. Each is formulated with research-led ingredients to support goals such as weight management and overall health and well-being.

Protein shakes are designed to supplement your protein intake, typically providing 20–30g of protein with minimal carbohydrates and fats. Meal replacement shakes are more nutritionally complete, containing a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals to substitute a full meal. The right choice depends on your goal and when you're using it.

A collagen shake contains type 1 and type 3 collagen - a protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, and connective tissue. Unlike whey or plant protein, collagen is specifically beneficial for skin, hair, nails, and joints. It's typically taken as a daily supplement and can come in a variety of flavours.

A greens shake is a nutrient-dense blend of vegetables, fruits, and plant extracts designed to support daily micronutrient intake. It's ideal for anyone who struggles to consume enough fruit and vegetables through diet alone. Greens shakes typically contain antioxidants, vitamins, and digestive support ingredients, making them suitable for general health and wellbeing.

Meal replacement shakes are generally most effective for weight loss, as they provide controlled calories with balanced nutrition to replace higher-calorie meals. Protein shakes like our Clear Diet Whey can also support weight loss by increasing satiety during a calorie deficit. The best option depends on how you're structuring your diet overall.

One of the biggest advantages of shakes is their convenience - they fit into any routine, any time of day. Protein shakes are taken anytime during the day, meal replacements work well as a quick breakfast or lunch on busy days, and greens or collagen shakes can slot in whenever suits you. The best time is simply the time that works consistently for your lifestyle.

Yes. Shakes aren't exclusively for people who exercise. Meal replacement shakes can support calorie-controlled eating, greens shakes help bridge nutritional gaps, and collagen shakes offer benefits for skin and joint health regardless of activity level. Protein shakes can also help non-exercisers meet daily protein requirements, particularly for older adults or those with higher protein needs.
