Ingredients can differ between Myprotein's UK and US products, so check the ingredient list to make sure what you're buying is vegan. As far as I know, the chips sold by Myprotein US may contain milk.
Soy Protein Isolate
This is my top pick for its protein-to-carb ratio, protein quality, and price per gram of protein. I've also compared protein powder prices in an earlier article.
The flavor selection is another plus – I'd go with salted caramel, or buy the unflavored powder and add flavor drops. More on those below.
Clear Protein Powder
I think this stuff is genius!
If you want something lighter that doesn't feel so heavy, try these clear protein powders. The drinking experience is closer to a pre-workout drink than a thick, heavy protein shake.
They come in refreshing fruit flavors. I really liked the blueberry.
Powdered Peanut Butter
That peanut butter flavor, with a lot less fat and fewer calories.
Perfect for baking, smoothies, or shakes.
I'm hooked.
Just keep in mind that it isn't a one-to-one substitute for peanut butter, though it can give a smoothie bowl a serious flavor boost.
A Protein Bar Under 100 Calories
This is a great little protein bar!
It comes in chocolate orange. I think there's sometimes a chocolate caramel option, too, but don't quote me on that.
Each bar has 94 calories and 7.4 grams of protein, and I think it tastes really good.
Especially after a quick spin in the microwave.
Perfect with your 4 p.m. coffee.
Hot/Cold Wrap
A wrap that straps around a sore muscle.
You can warm it in the microwave to keep a tight muscle warm, or chill it in the freezer and apply it to an injured area to help limit swelling before getting medical care—for a sprain, for example. Follow the product's heating and cooling instructions and protect your skin.
Vegan Protein Blend
Don't want soy? No problem!
Try this protein blend. It gives soy powders a run for their money.
My advice: go with chocolate peanut butter – you can thank me later.
This is a blend of pea protein and fava bean protein, so steer clear if you're allergic to fava beans.
Double Chocolate Cookies
Tasty vegan cookies with plenty of calories and protein.
Great if you're trying to build muscle at the gym—or just want a little treat. Both is also an option.
Creatine Monohydrate Powder
The same supplement as the tablets, just in powder form.
The package includes a small scoop for the creatine monohydrate. My original scoop note says 3 mg, but that unit needs checking against the product label before use. Simply add the labeled serving to your morning shake or stir it into a glass of water.
Protein Chips
Craving a salty snack straight out of the bag, for just 100 calories? These are for you!
They come in sweet chili or barbecue, and they're as tasty as they look.
Each bag contains 11 grams of protein.
Comfortable Slides
Simple, comfortable slides. Sometimes that's all you need.
Comfortable, Flattering Workout Bottoms
A great option for gym sessions or CrossFit.
The men's cut is flattering, and they have pockets—always a win.
Available in black and gray as well as khaki.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound made from amino acids and found mainly in your muscles. It helps fuel explosive efforts, which can indirectly support muscle hypertrophy—in other words, muscle growth.
It's been studied and found to be safe for healthy adults when used appropriately.
It can be especially useful for vegans and vegetarians, who don't eat foods naturally rich in creatine and may therefore see a greater benefit from supplementing.
It comes in tablets or powder – I don't have a preference between the two.
My original daily serving note says 3–5 mg, but that unit needs verification and shouldn't be used as dosing guidance. Check the product's labeled serving directions. Timing during the day isn't the main concern.
Make sure you're buying the monohydrate form—the label should say Creatine Monohydrate.
Natural Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is the queen of bulking foods, and this one is a great pick. Smooth or crunchy, spread it on a slice of bread and you're set. Really, what more do you need?
Flavor Drops
This might be the coolest thing Myprotein has come up with: flavor drops! Think of the vanilla extract you use for baking, but in all kinds of flavors.
Add them to your shakes, smoothie bowls, or baking.
My suggestion: buy protein powder that's unflavored and add whatever flavor you're in the mood for.
I really like the maple, apple, mango, and vanilla drops.
The cheesecake and chocolate flavors weren't really my thing.
Vegan Protein Pancake Mix
My absolute favorite Myprotein product.
A protein pancake mix that's easy to make and tastes great.
Just stir in soy milk or water, mix, and pour into a skillet.
You can also bake the batter in muffin pans for some excellent protein muffins.
The base is fava bean protein and gluten.
A 154-Calorie Protein Bar
Another vegan protein bar I really like.
It isn't part of Myprotein's vegan line, but it's still 100% vegan.
It contains 10 grams of protein.
Update: the version sold by Myprotein US is vegan. The version sold by Myprotein Europe is not.
Pre-Workout
If you want a little extra energy for your workout and you're tired of the usual pre-gym espresso, a pre-workout drink is another option. The main draw is its high caffeine content—the kind of boost that can make you feel ready to bounce from one machine to the next.
You may develop a tolerance after repeated use, which means the effect can fade. I'd save it for occasional use rather than make it an everyday habit.
