About this episode
In this episode, Jaymee Joosten discusses the various types of protein powders, when to use them, and how to choose the right one for your dietary needs.
“What’s the best protein powder?” It’s one of the most common questions I get asked as a nutritionist — and no wonder! Walk into any supplement store (or even the supermarket) and you’ll find shelves full of tubs, bags, and bottles all promising amazing results. But with so many options (whey, casein, plant-based, collagen, protein water… the list goes on), it can feel overwhelming to know which one is actually worth it. Here’s the truth: most women aren’t getting enough protein in their day. The sweet spot? Around 1.6–2.2g per kg of bodyweight . Wholefoods should always be your foundation, but protein powders can be a super convenient, versatile way to bump your intake up so you’re hitting those targets consistently. In this episode, I break down: → When to consider using a protein powder → What to look for on an ingredient label so you’re not tricked by marketing → The pros and cons of ALL the different types: whey, casein, plant-based, egg white, collagen, amino acids/protein waters and more → My summary of what’s “best” depending on your goals → The brands I personally use and recommend (see my discount codes at the bottom) By the end of this episode, you’ll feel confident…
