NoWhey Whey Protein 1kg
Real New Zealand whey protein — honest price, no frills
Yes, it really is whey. NoWhey Whey Protein 1kg is a New Zealand-made whey protein concentrate (WPC80) that delivers about 23g of protein per 30g serve — a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. Despite the playful name, this is real dairy whey: it contains milk, and it is not vegan or dairy-free.
- About 23g protein per 30g serve — 22.6g (Chocolate) to 23.7g (Vanilla), roughly 75–79% protein by weight
- Complete whey protein — naturally contains all nine essential amino acids, including the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine, to support muscle recovery and growth after training
- Premium instant WPC80 — New Zealand whey concentrate that mixes quickly and smoothly in water or milk
- Low in carbs and fat — about 2.4g carbohydrate and 1.9g fat per serve
- Made in New Zealand — produced in a GMP-certified facility and third-party lab-tested for protein content and purity
Why NoWhey
Good protein shouldn't cost a fortune. Plenty of New Zealand-made whey carries a premium price for the marketing more than the powder. NoWhey keeps it simple: a quality whey protein concentrate, sold without the frills.
It's premium instant WPC80. Each 30g serve gives about 23g of New Zealand whey protein — 22.6g in Chocolate, 23.7g in Vanilla — which works out to roughly 75–79% protein by weight, the hallmark of a WPC80-grade whey. There are no proprietary blends; the full panel is on the Supplement Facts tab.
Whey is a complete protein. It naturally supplies all nine essential amino acids, including the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine — the building blocks the body uses to repair and rebuild muscle after exercise.
Protein contributes to the growth, repair and maintenance of muscle as part of a balanced diet — an easy, affordable way to top up daily protein around training, work or meals.

FAQ
Is NoWhey dairy-free or vegan?
No. Despite the name, NoWhey Whey Protein is real dairy whey — a whey protein concentrate made from milk. It contains milk and may contain soy, so it is not vegan or dairy-free. If you need a plant-based, dairy-free option, NoWhey also makes a Plant Protein.
How much protein is in each serve?
Each 30g serve provides about 23g of protein — 22.6g in Chocolate and 23.7g in Vanilla, which is roughly 75–79% protein by weight. It is a complete whey protein with all nine essential amino acids. The full panel sits on the Supplement Facts tab.
What flavours are available?
The NoWhey 1kg range includes Chocolate, Vanilla and Banana, plus Salted Caramel and Strawberry. Availability of individual flavours can change, so check the flavour selector on this page for what's in stock right now. Each flavour uses the same New Zealand whey base.
How do I mix it and how does it taste?
Add one 30g serve (about 2 heaped tablespoons) to 250ml of cold water or milk and shake or blend for 10–20 seconds. The instant WPC80 dissolves quickly with minimal foaming. Many customers note a smooth texture and a flavour that isn't overpowering.
Where is it made and is it tested?
NoWhey is made in New Zealand in a GMP-certified facility and is third-party lab-tested for protein content and purity. It is a straightforward whey protein concentrate with no proprietary blends — what's on the label is what's in the bag.
When should I take it?
There's no wrong time. Many people have a serve after training to support muscle recovery, or between meals to help reach a daily protein target. Whey is a fast-digesting protein, which makes it a convenient option around workouts and busy days.
