Description
Looking for a vanilla whey isolate that mixes easily and tastes good without a long list of extras? Protein Supplies Australia WPI Vanilla is a whey protein isolate powder made in Australia, flavoured with natural flavour and real vanilla bean powder, and sweetened with stevia.
What is WPI Vanilla?
WPI stands for whey protein isolate, a form of whey that has been filtered further than a standard concentrate. This one uses whey protein isolate as 96% of the powder, so it delivers 25 g of protein per serve. The label states it is grass-fed whey and 99% lactose free.
It also includes a probiotic culture (Bacillus coagulans) and a blend of digestive enzymes (protease, amylase, cellulase, lactase and lipase). Sunflower lecithin is added as an emulsifier to help the powder mix smoothly.
Key features
- 25 g of protein per 30 g serve

- Added probiotic culture and digestive enzymes

How it fits into your routine
Many people reach for a vanilla whey protein isolate powder straight after a workout, but it works any time of day when you want a simple protein top-up. Vanilla is a flexible flavour, so it suits plain shakes as well as smoothies with fruit, oats or a spoon of nut butter. It is also a handy base for pancakes and other baking, where a neutral sweet flavour is easier to work with than chocolate.
If you prefer to control the flavour yourself, the unflavoured WPI uses the same base, and there is also a chocolate WPI and a strawberry WPI if you like to rotate flavours.
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.
Pack sizes
WPI Vanilla comes in 500 g (16 serves) and 1 kg. The 500 g bag is a good way to try the flavour, while the 1 kg suits regular users. You can also browse other protein powders if you are comparing options.
