It can however be hard to ensure your teen is getting enough protein in their diet as part of a busy lifestyle – particularly when things come up like after school sporting practices or part-time jobs in the evening during meal times.

Is protein powder safe for my teenager?

If used as part of a balanced diet, protein powder for teenagers is perfectly safe! It can have great benefits for their growing muscles. Protein Balance comes in a delicious choc malt flavour that can tempt even the fussiest of tastebuds – here are just a couple of the reviews from our customers:

“My 13 year old son needed a go to snack before/after his busy sports training schedule and this product hits the mark! He is very happy with the taste (he can be fussy) and how easy it is for him to prepare. Will definitely purchase again as this is an easy protein packed snack alternative for a growing, energetic teenager.”

“I bought this for my teen athletes 12 and 15 to increase their protein intake but also give them more than simple whey protein. The extra vitamins and minerals are what growing teens need and this has been a welcome addition to their athletic dietary needs. They like the flavour and find it easy to blend in with peanut butter, or banana or oats for an extra calorie boost. Will buy again!”
