The Best Protein Powders – A Roundup
As you’ll have seen, I have a growing curiosity when it comes to supplements, but I’m also trying to keep on top of things like making sure I have enough protein. For anyone looking to do the same, here are some of the protein powders I’ve been recommended:
HERMOSA
Loved by celebrities including Harry Styles and David Beckham, HERMOSA is the protein powder of choice at boutique fitness studios including Barry’s, Soulcycle and Frame.
The co-founder, Erika Tamayo, decided to launch HERMOSA because she was fed up with most of the protein powders on the market that didn’t taste very good and looked cheap, packaged in big pouches. She saw a gap in the market to disrupt and re-imagine the industry to create a great tasting protein powder that also looked beautiful on kitchen shelves. HERMOSA started selling its protein in stylish, recyclable jars as an antidote to most people wanting to hide away their protein powder pouches in cupboards.

The Organic Protein Co.
For anyone who has ever had to choose between a protein shake or a coffee, the wait is over. This Coffee blend combines 5% pure organic coffee, sourced from Honduras, Peru, Papua New Guinea, and Tanzania, with 95% cold-filtered, undenatured whey, creating a creamy, balanced drink that tastes like genuine barista-quality coffee.
This new blend contains no additives, flavourings, or extracts — only 100% pure organic coffee and paired with the brand’s signature cold-filtered whey. The carefully crafted 5:95 coffee-to-protein ratio delivers authentic flavour and a natural energy boost, without the need for separate products or complicated routines.
Beyond the flavour, the Real Coffee Whey Protein supports overall wellness with naturally occurring nutrients, such as Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulin IgG, as well as bioavailable amino acids.
