Unflavoured Protein Powders

Shop Unflavoured Protein Powders at Myprotein

Sometimes you want protein without the sweetness. Unflavoured protein powders deliver pure, versatile nutrition that fits seamlessly into your routine, whether you're blending into savoury meals, mixing with your own flavours, or simply prefer a neutral taste.

These powders contain the same high-quality protein as their flavoured counterparts, minus the sweeteners and flavourings. Mix them into porridge, soups, smoothies, or baked goods without altering the taste. They're also ideal if you're sensitive to artificial sweeteners or want complete control over what goes into your nutrition.

Who Unflavoured Protein Powders Are For

Perfect for anyone who values flexibility in their nutrition. Athletes who meal prep might stir unflavoured whey into mashed potatoes or pasta sauces to increase protein content without affecting flavour. Home bakers can add it to bread, pancakes, or savoury bakes to create high-protein versions of everyday foods.

They're equally suited to those who prefer natural, unsweetened nutrition or want to experiment with their own flavour combinations using fruits, spices, or extracts. If you're following specific dietary protocols or simply dislike sweet protein shakes, unflavoured varieties offer the same nutritional benefits with complete taste neutrality.

When to Use Unflavoured Protein Powders

The versatility of unflavoured protein means timing depends entirely on how you use it. Many people add a scoop to their morning porridge or scrambled eggs to start the day with higher protein content. Post-workout, you can blend it with fruit and milk for a custom shake that tastes exactly how you want it.

Throughout the day, stir unflavoured powder into savoury dishes like soups, stews, or sauces during meal prep. Evening snacks become more protein-rich when you bake with unflavoured varieties. The neutral profile means it works whenever you need extra protein without interfering with the flavours you're creating.

FAQs

What are unflavoured protein powders?

Unflavoured protein powders contain the same protein sources as flavoured varieties but without added sweeteners, flavourings, or taste enhancers. They deliver pure protein in its most neutral form, allowing you to add them to any food or drink without altering the original taste.

These powders typically have shorter ingredient lists since they omit flavouring systems. You get whey, isolate, pea, or collagen protein in concentrated form, making them ideal for both sweet and savoury applications across your entire diet.

How do unflavoured protein powders differ from flavoured versions?

The protein content and quality remain identical between unflavoured and flavoured versions of the same product. The difference lies purely in the flavouring system. Unflavoured powders omit sweeteners like sucralose, flavourings like vanilla or chocolate, and any masking agents used to improve taste.

This results in a completely neutral taste and often a slightly different texture. While flavoured powders are designed for drinking as shakes, unflavoured varieties offer flexibility for cooking, baking, and creating custom flavour combinations.

Can I use unflavoured protein powder in cooking?

Unflavoured protein powder excels in cooking applications. Stir it into porridge, soups, sauces, mashed potatoes, or pasta dishes to increase protein content without affecting flavour. Many people add it to pancake batter, bread dough, or savoury bakes for high-protein versions of everyday foods.

Heat doesn't destroy protein, though excessive temperatures may affect texture. Add unflavoured powder toward the end of cooking or in dishes that don't require prolonged high heat for best results.

How should I mix unflavoured protein powder for shakes?

Blend unflavoured powder with your choice of liquids and flavourings. Common additions include frozen fruit, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, or spices like cinnamon. This lets you create custom flavours without the sweetness level predetermined by manufacturers.

Start with 200-250ml of milk, water, or plant-based alternative per scoop of powder. Add ice and your chosen flavourings, then blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness and taste to your exact preferences.

Which unflavoured protein powder should I choose?

Your choice depends on dietary preferences and protein needs. Whey protein offers fast absorption and excellent amino acid profiles, making it popular post-workout. Whey isolate provides higher protein content with less lactose through additional filtration.

Plant-based options like pea protein or vegan blends suit those avoiding dairy or following plant-based diets. Collagen protein offers a different amino acid profile and dissolves easily into hot liquids. Consider how you'll primarily use the powder to guide your selection.

Does unflavoured protein powder taste bad?

Unflavoured doesn't mean unpleasant, it means neutral. Whey proteins have a mild, slightly milky taste. Pea protein carries subtle earthy notes. Collagen protein is virtually tasteless when dissolved.

These natural flavours disappear when mixed into foods or combined with other ingredients in shakes. The absence of added flavours is precisely what makes them versatile rather than a drawback.

How much unflavoured protein powder should I use per serving?

Standard serving sizes range from 25-30g of powder, delivering 19-23g of protein depending on the product. This matches the serving size of flavoured versions from the same range.

Adjust the amount based on your daily protein targets and how you're using it. You might add a full scoop to a post-workout shake but only 10-15g when mixing into a savoury dish to complement the protein from other ingredients.

Who develops these unflavoured protein powders?

Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop the entire protein range, including unflavoured varieties. They select high-quality protein sources and ensure consistent manufacturing standards across all products, whether you choose flavoured or unflavoured options.

The formulations prioritise protein content and purity while maintaining mixability and functionality across different uses.

Can I add unflavoured protein powder to hot liquids?

Yes, unflavoured protein powder works well in hot liquids, though the method matters. Collagen protein dissolves particularly easily in hot coffee or tea. Whey and plant proteins may clump if added directly to very hot liquids.

For best results with whey or pea protein, either let your drink cool slightly before adding powder, or mix the powder with a small amount of cool liquid first to create a paste, then stir into the hot beverage. Alternatively, add to porridge or soup after removing from direct heat.

How do I store unflavoured protein powder?

Store unflavoured protein powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the lid tightly sealed between uses to prevent clumping and maintain freshness.

The shelf life matches flavoured versions, typically 12-18 months unopened. Once opened, use within a few months for optimal quality, though the powder remains safe beyond this if stored properly and shows no signs of moisture damage or odour changes.
