Taste & Innovation
All our products, including our shakes, use 100% premium-grade ingredients. Quality is never something we skimp on. Flavours and ingredients are selected not only for their origins and purity, but also for their ability to pass various stringent tastebud profiling tests. This is a process devised by our team of nutritional experts. Think of it as the right of passage for each and every ingredient – if an ingredient doesn't raise the nutritional profile of a product and create an amazing flavour experience for our customers, then we simply don’t use it. This approach ensures we always work to the highest standards and offer you delicious premium products that keep you coming back for more.

Really impressed with Protein Works! The flavours are fantastic and there’s a great variety to choose from. They actually taste good rather than having that artificial protein taste you get with some brands. 😋💪
Mixes really well, tastes great, and I genuinely look forward to having one. Definitely recommend Protein Works and I’ll be ordering again!

Hi Tim, we’re sorry for the confusion here and for any frustration caused.

We’ve reviewed your order and the photos provided, and the items dispatched do match the product ordered. We appreciate that the “Classic Formula” wording on the front of the pouch can be confusing, as this refers to the formulation rather than the flavour. The flavour is shown on the top line on the back of the pouch.

Our team has also responded to your email with this information, and I’ve tried to give you a call today so we can talk this through with you directly, but unfortunately reached voicemail.

If the flavour shown on the back of the pouches doesn’t match the flavour you ordered, please get back in touch with us and we’ll be very happy to look into this further.

battling breast cancer…

I am currently battling breast cancer and chemotherapy has left my appetite at times almost nil. I decided to get some protein drinks and a protein breakfast to help. This has been a game changer for me the shakes taste delicious and are not heavy on my stomach, giving me the much needed boost I needed. You can make these with milk or water, i chose water as dairy doesn't sit well at the moment and that did not take away any taste, would highly recommend. I bought the vanilla creme and banana smoothie.
