The Protein Powder Debate in Australia
Lately, Australian media has been questioning the need for protein powders, calling them “just a milkshake in disguise.” While it’s true that whole foods provide fibre, vitamins, and minerals in a natural package, the conversation misses an important point: not all protein powders are created equal.
At Artisanal Australia, we believe that whey protein is more than just a “powder.” It’s a high-quality, bioavailable protein source designed for busy Australians who want convenience without compromising on nutrition.
Whole Food Benefits vs. Pure Whey Power
Whole foods are essential for a balanced diet. But sometimes, meeting your protein needs through food alone can be difficult—especially if you’re active, time-poor, or looking to support recovery.
That’s where whey protein shines. Products like Happy Way Whey Protein Powder White Choc Caramel deliver clean, delicious, and nutrient-rich protein that supports muscle growth, satiety, and energy—all without the excess sugars or fillers found in many supermarket shakes.
How Much Protein Do You Really Need?
According to Australia’s nutrient guidelines:
-
Women need ~0.75g protein per kg/day (about 49g for a 65 kg woman).
-
Men need ~0.84g per kg/day.
-
For athletes and gym-goers, 1.2–1.7g per kg/day alongside resistance training is recommended.
Reaching these levels daily can be tough. A single scoop of Happy Way Whey Protein Powder Chocolate provides around 21g of protein—making it an easy way to bridge the gap.
