Vegetarian protein covers everything you need to hit your daily protein targets without meat or fish.

Whether you're blending up post-workout or grabbing something on the go, there's a format here that works for you.

Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass¹, making it a non-negotiable part of any active person's diet. These products make it straightforward to meet your daily intake — no meat required.

Who Vegetarian Protein Is For

Vegetarian protein is for anyone following a meat-free diet who trains regularly and wants a reliable, convenient way to keep their protein intake consistent. That includes gym-goers, runners, cyclists, and anyone who's simply trying to eat more protein day to day without relying on animal flesh as their main source.

It's also a strong option for flexitarians — people who eat meat occasionally but want to reduce their overall intake. You don't have to be fully vegetarian to benefit from vegetarian protein products. If whey fits your diet and you want a clean, well-formulated supplement, these products are built for you.

When to Use Vegetarian Protein

Most people reach for a vegetarian protein shake immediately after training, when getting a fast, convenient hit of protein is the priority. Whey-based options like powders and ready-to-drink cans are absorbed quickly and easy to consume without any prep — ideal when you've just finished a session and don't want to cook.

Outside of training, vegetarian protein powder works just as well mixed into oats, stirred through yoghurt, or blended into a smoothie as part of breakfast or a snack. If building size is the goal, a vegetarian mass gainer provides a higher-calorie option designed around those bigger daily targets — useful when whole food alone isn't getting you there.

FAQs

What is vegetarian protein?

Vegetarian protein refers to protein supplements made without meat or fish — typically using dairy-derived sources like whey and whey isolate, which are suitable for vegetarians. The range includes powders, ready-to-drink formats, and mass gainers, all formulated to deliver a meaningful amount of protein per serving in a way that fits a meat-free diet.

What's the difference between vegetarian protein powder and a vegetarian protein drink?

Vegetarian protein powder is a versatile base you mix with water or milk — easy to adjust serving sizes and flavours, and simple to add to food like oats or smoothies. A vegetarian protein drink, like Clear Whey Isolate Protein Drink, comes ready to consume with no mixing required. Both deliver around 20g of protein per serving; the difference is convenience versus flexibility.

Is whey protein vegetarian?

Yes, whey protein is vegetarian. It's derived from milk during the cheese-making process, making it suitable for those following a vegetarian diet that includes dairy. Whey is not vegan, however — if you follow a plant-based diet, you'd need to look at plant protein alternatives instead. All whey-based products in this range are suitable for vegetarians.

Which vegetarian protein should I choose?

It depends on your goal and how you prefer to take your protein. For everyday training, Impact Whey Protein Powder delivers up to 23g of high-quality protein per serving at just 114 calories — a clean, flexible option. If you want something ready to go with minimal calories, Clear Whey Isolate Protein Drink offers 20g of protein in an 80-calorie can. For higher calorie targets, the vegetarian mass gainer is the one to reach for.

What is vegetarian protein isolate?

Vegetarian protein isolate — like hydrolysed whey protein isolate — is a more refined form of whey protein that's been processed to remove most of the fat and lactose, leaving a higher proportion of protein per gram. Clear Whey Protein Powder is made from hydrolysed whey protein isolate, delivering 20g of protein per serving in a lighter, clearer format compared to traditional whey shakes.

Is there a vegetarian mass gainer?

Yes. The range includes a vegetarian mass gainer designed for those with higher daily calorie and protein targets. It's built for people who struggle to get enough through food alone and want a convenient way to supplement a higher-calorie diet — particularly useful during a bulk or for those with fast metabolisms who find it hard to eat enough.

Are Myprotein's vegetarian protein products independently tested?

Clear Whey Protein Powder is Informed Choice certified, meaning it's been independently tested by a WADA-accredited laboratory for substances prohibited in sport. This makes it a strong option for competitive athletes or anyone who wants additional confidence in what they're consuming. Check individual product pages for the specific certification status of each product in the range.

Who develops Myprotein's vegetarian protein products?

Myprotein's vegetarian protein products are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who formulate each product around clear nutritional goals and quality standards. Every product in the range is built to deliver a meaningful protein hit per serving, with formats and flavours designed to fit real-world routines — not just lab benchmarks.

How much protein do I need per day as a vegetarian?

Protein requirements vary depending on body weight, activity level, and training goals. A commonly used starting point for active individuals is around 1.6–2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, though individual needs differ. Vegetarian protein powders and drinks make it straightforward to top up intake throughout the day alongside whole food sources like eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts.

Can I use vegetarian protein as part of a weight management plan?

Vegetarian protein products fit naturally into a range of dietary approaches. Options like Clear Whey Isolate Protein Drink — with 20g of protein and just 80 calories per can — are well-suited to those keeping a close eye on their calorie intake while making sure protein targets are met. For higher-calorie goals, the mass gainer format offers a different nutritional profile suited to bulking phases.
