How to Pick Whey Protein Powder

Look for a protein powder with at least 18 grams of protein per serving. You can also assess the quality of the protein using the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS), which ranks proteins from 0–1, with 1 being the best. Whey protein isolate is highly filtered and contains less than 1% lactose, as well as less fat and carbohydrates than whey concentrate. It's a good option for people who don't tolerate lactose well or want to maintain muscle while losing fat. Whey protein concentrate is cheaper and retains more nutrients, and some people prefer its taste. Avoid powders with unnecessary fillers, chemicals, added sugars, or artificial sweeteners. Lastly, choose a flavor you enjoy so you'll actually use it!

Ingredient Swaps

You can swap the whey protein with a pea protein powder. You can also swap the yogurt with non-dairy yogurt to keep this dairy free. If you want to keep this nut-free, substitute the almond milk with oat milk or dairy milk, the almond butter with sunflower seed butter, and the walnuts with pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
