Protein Blends
All of our blends are created from a variety of high-quality sources, including whey protein concentrate, egg protein, and micellar casein. Whether you’re looking for a fast-release post-workout shake, a slow-release bedtime blend, or a weight gain formula — we’ve got something to suit your goals.

Protein blends combine multiple protein sources into a single formula, giving you a broader amino acid profile in one scoop. Rather than relying on a single source, a protein blend supplement draws from hydrolysed whey isolate, concentrate, casein, or plant-based proteins to deliver a more complete nutritional profile. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and a well-formulated blend makes hitting your daily protein target straightforward.
The range here covers everything from lean, fast-absorbing clear whey formulas to higher-calorie mass gainers packed with carbohydrates alongside their protein. Whether you're looking for a post-training shake or a calorie-dense meal supplement, there's a protein blend powder for the goal.
Who Protein Blends Are For
Protein blends suit anyone who wants more flexibility from their protein supplement. If you train regularly and want a formula that combines different protein types in one serving, a blended protein is the practical option. It's equally well-suited to those who find single-source proteins hard on digestion, since blending sources tends to spread the amino acid delivery across a longer window.
They're also a strong fit for anyone trying to increase overall calorie and protein intake, particularly those following a structured training programme. The Impact Whey Mass Gainer, with 30g of protein and 50g of carbs per serving, is built specifically for that goal — pairing its protein content with carbohydrates that contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after highly intensive exercise2.
When to Use Protein Blends
Timing depends on the specific formula. A fast-absorbing clear whey protein blend fits well as a post-training shake, when getting protein in quickly is the priority. Mass gainer blends, given their higher carbohydrate and calorie content, work effectively as a between-meals supplement or alongside a training session, particularly for those with higher energy requirements.
Beyond the gym, protein blends work just as well as a convenient everyday protein source — mixed into a shaker, blended into a smoothie, or taken first thing in the morning. The format is straightforward, and the range of flavours across the range makes it easy to keep things consistent without getting bored.
Protein Blends Benefits
Broader Amino Acid Coverage
Combining multiple protein sources means you're not relying on the amino acid profile of just one ingredient. Hydrolysed whey isolate, concentrates, and other sources each bring a slightly different composition, and blending them together gives a more complete picture in a single serving.
Muscle Mass and Maintenance
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and a blended formula makes it easier to reach meaningful daily protein totals. Whether you're focused on adding muscle or maintaining what you've built during a cut, consistent protein intake is the foundation.
Calorie Flexibility
The range spans lean, low-calorie clear whey options and high-calorie mass gainers — so the blend you choose can match your energy needs, not just your protein target. That makes protein blends a versatile category regardless of whether you're in a surplus or keeping intake tight.
Protein and Bone Health
Alongside muscle, protein also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones3. A protein blend that's built into your daily routine means you're covering both bases — not just training performance, but longer-term structural nutrition too.

FAQs
What is a protein blend?
A protein blend is a supplement that combines two or more protein sources — such as whey isolate, whey concentrate, or casein — into a single formula. Rather than using one source alone, blending proteins gives a broader amino acid profile and, depending on the sources used, can vary the rate at which amino acids become available. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass1, and a blend is simply a way to deliver that protein from multiple origins in one convenient scoop.
What is a protein blend supplement used for?
Protein blend supplements are used as a practical way to increase daily protein intake, commonly taken post-training or as a between-meals top-up. They're particularly useful when whole food sources aren't available or convenient. Depending on the specific formula — lean clear whey or a carbohydrate-rich mass gainer — they can also provide additional calories and macronutrients alongside the protein content.
What's the difference between a protein blend and a single-source protein?
A single-source protein — like a pure whey isolate — draws all its protein from one ingredient. A protein blend combines multiple sources, which broadens the amino acid profile and can change how the protein is digested. Some blends also layer in fast and slower-digesting sources together. The practical difference is variety of nutritional input; neither is inherently superior — it comes down to your preference and goals.
Which protein blend should I choose?
Clear Whey Protein Powder is worth considering if you're after a light, refreshing shake with 20g of protein per serving from hydrolysed whey isolate, and it carries Informed Choice certification. If you need a higher calorie option with more carbohydrates — say, you're training hard and need to hit a calorie surplus — Impact Whey Mass Gainer delivers 30g of protein and 50g of carbs per serving, making it a solid option for that goal.
Are protein blends suitable for everyday use?
Protein blends are designed for regular use as part of a balanced diet. They're not intended to replace whole food meals entirely, but as a convenient supplement to help meet daily protein targets, they work well on both training and rest days. The key is fitting them into an overall diet that's already providing a range of nutrients from whole food sources.
When is the best time to take a protein blend?
Post-training is a common time to use a protein blend, particularly a fast-absorbing formula like a clear whey. Higher-calorie mass gainer blends are often taken between meals or around training sessions where energy intake is the priority. Ultimately, the best time is whatever fits consistently into your daily routine — total daily protein intake matters more than precise timing for most people.
What does Informed Choice certified mean for protein blends?
Informed Choice is an independent certification programme that tests products for substances prohibited in sport. Clear Whey Protein Powder carries this accreditation, meaning each batch is tested to that standard. For athletes subject to anti-doping protocols, or anyone who wants additional confidence in what's in their supplement, Informed Choice certification provides that assurance.
Who develops the protein blends at Myprotein?
Myprotein's expert nutritionists develop the formulations across the protein blends range. Each product is built with specific goals in mind — from the macros and protein sources selected to the flavours and formats available — with the aim of making it straightforward to hit your nutritional targets consistently.
How do protein blends differ from mass gainers?
Mass gainers are a type of protein blend, but with a significantly higher carbohydrate and calorie content per serving. A standard protein blend prioritises protein delivery with minimal additional calories, while a mass gainer like Impact Whey Mass Gainer — with 50g of carbs alongside 30g of protein — is designed for those who need to increase overall calorie intake as well as protein. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise2.
Can protein blends be used as part of a balanced diet?
Protein blend powders are supplements — they work alongside a balanced diet, not as a replacement for it. Used consistently as part of a diet that includes a range of whole foods, they make it easier to reach meaningful daily protein totals. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass1 and to the maintenance of normal bones3, so getting enough through both food and supplementation is worthwhile for anyone training regularly.
1. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
2. Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.
3. Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
