Description
Banana is a flavour many people enjoy in a shake but few brands do well. Protein Supplies Australia WPI Banana is a banana protein powder built on whey protein isolate, made in Australia and sweetened with stevia rather than added sugar.
What is WPI Banana?
WPI stands for whey protein isolate, which is whey filtered further than a standard concentrate. In this banana whey protein, whey protein isolate makes up 95% of the powder and each 30 g serve provides 25 g of protein. The label states it is grass-fed whey and 99% lactose free.
The flavour comes from natural flavour, with natural colour from curcumin. The formula also includes a probiotic culture (Bacillus coagulans) and a blend of digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, cellulase, lactase and lipase), plus sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier to help it mix.

How it fits into your routine
A banana protein powder suits people who want something familiar and mellow after a workout, or a quick protein top-up at breakfast. Shake it with cold water or milk, or blend it with ice for a thicker drink. The label lists smoothies, baked treats and pancakes as good uses, so you can also stir it into pancake batter or mix it into oats.
Not sure banana is for you? The same base comes in vanilla, strawberry and unflavoured, which makes it easy to try a different flavour next time.
How to use
Mix, shake or blend one 30 g serve (about three heaped tablespoons) with 150 to 200 ml of water or milk. The label suggests 1 to 3 serves per day, depending on your daily dietary needs and the advice of your health professional.
