Not Your Average Whey Protein
There’s a reason foodspring’s Whey Protein has been purchased millions of times across 39 countries since our company was founded in 2013. It was built on three fundamental principles: you deserve the highest-quality protein, the fewest ingredients possible, and results.
Our Whey Protein is…
- NZMP-certified, and produced entirely from milk from grass-fed cows in New Zealand, which roam freely in pastures for 350 days per year.
- Ultra-filtered, cold-processed, and rich in BCAAs and EAAs.
- 69% whey protein concentrate, the gold standard of protein powders.
- 30% whey protein isolate, the purest form of high-protein whey you can buy, which is low in carbohydrates, sugars, and fats.
Why You Need (Grass-Fed) Whey Protein
Essential amino acids are the building blocks of muscle, but your body doesn’t produce them naturally. That’s where our Whey Protein comes in. It contains all the essential amino acids your body needs, which is why consuming Whey Protein within an hour of exercise instantly provides your recovering muscles with everything they need to come back stronger. High-quality whey protein from grass-fed cows? It's simple: Healthy grass makes great milk.
Healthy Cows. Healthy Choice.
When we first developed our Whey Protein, we knew that we needed to start with the best raw ingredients available—for both you and the environment. And when it comes right down to it, the NZMP certification stands for the highest quality. Our farmers are stewards of the land, meaning we have a low carbon footprint and the cows only eat the lush grass free of GMOs.
- Our dairy has among the world’s lowest carbon footprint.
- Our New Zealand cows are 96% grass-fed and spend 97% of their time in pastures.
- Our New Zealand cows spend more time on pasture than anywhere else in the world—over 350 days a year.
- Our farmers grow nutrient-rich grass, resulting in a higher quality of milk.
How to Use foodspring Whey Protein
Fill your shaker with 300ml water and 30g (or 3 tablespoons) of your favourite protein powder.
Shake for 20 seconds.
Best consumed within 1 hour of working out.
Whey Protein Isn’t Just for Weight Lifters
Getting protein into any strength-training regimen is important, but protein can do more for you than simply help you build stronger muscles.¹ Whey Protein can help anyone who is trying to hit their daily macros goals If you’re having a hard time meeting your protein goals, then adding Whey Protein to your morning, after your workout, or really any time of day is the way to go. Whey Protein is also a great addition to cakes, brownies, desserts, pancakes, as well as mueslis and yoghurts—we encourage you to think outside the shaker! (For the record, we recommend consuming 50-65% carbohydrates, 15-25% proteins and 20-30% fats every day for a balanced diet).

The new sweetener.
- Sweet and calorie-free – steviol glycoside, a purified extract from the stevia plant, is the perfect sugar substitute. The challenge: We have put the extreme sweetness of this plant to the test – and found the formula for the perfect sweetness,
- No calories
- Pleasantly sweet
- without bitterness

Mix 30g (about 3 tablespoons) of Whey Protein with 300ml water or low-fat milk. First, add the liquid to the provided shaker. Then add one serving of Whey Protein powder and shake well for 20-30 seconds. For optimal results drink 1-3 servings daily directly post-workout or in the morning.
The protein elements of whey are metabolised very quickly, which is why you should drink a shake right after training. If you are interested in the complete package of an all-round supply for your muscles, you could add the 3K Protein supplement as well. Your benefit: you can use Whey Protein for an optimised nutrient supply directly after training. 3K Protein is best to take after an evening workout or right before bed. The casein content slows down the protein consumption, which ensures a nutrient supply and repair processes for your muscles all night while you sleep – muscle mass breakdown is prevented.
- Morning
- After training
Frequently Asked Questions
Whey protein is known for being readily available to the body and for its high essential amino acid content. These advantages make it the ideal protein after the physical strain of strength or endurance training. A supply of protein building blocks is important to accelerate protein synthesis, thus stimulating anabolic (muscle building) processes in the body. Whey Protein is gluten free by nature. Due to production factors, the product may contain traces of gluten.
Whey Protein by foodspring uses high-quality milk from predominantly plant-fed cows living in wide fields as a raw material base. Not only is this grazing technique good for the well-being of the cow, it also plays a role in the quality of the milk. Compared to milk from cows kept in stables, milk from grass-fed cows contains more linoleic acid and also a higher proportion of omega-3 fatty acids.
Cheap whey proteins tend to come from milk produced by factory farming. Despite strict food regulations, questionable residues can sometimes be detected in the milk as a result of contaminated animal feed. These can be transmitted to humans through food and can harm the body. Any unnecessary strain on the body has a negative impact on efficiency and muscle building in the long term.
Whey Protein is especially suited to muscle building and muscle maintenance for strength and endurance training. It is best used directly after physical exertion. Moreover, Whey Protein can be used to offset nutrient deficiencies caused by insufficient protein intake.
The Stevia plant offers the opportunity to create a highly valuable sweetener, the steviol glycosides, that offer more than just a sweet taste. Steviol glycosides are purified extracts of the stevia plant. They make it possible to avoid unnecessary carbs and do not effect the calorie count. This makes steviol glycosides far superior to traditional industrially-produced sugar.
We are strongly opposed to the use of aspartame as a sweetener in all of our proteins. There have been numerous studies about the potential negative health effects of aspartame. Although current studies indicate that aspartame consumed in small quantities is not dangerous, we prefer to use other sweeteners in our products.
