Value Protein 1kg

Great Value For Those Who Don't Have Money Growing on Trees.
This is a different product to the value wheY.
$39.00 (NZD)

Cheap Protein NZ

This product is a value protein powder made from New Zealand milk protein. Milk protein naturally contains both whey and casein.

At the moment whey is very expensive and this product has been made to try to offer a cheaper alternative to our flagship New Zealand Whey.

Our NZ Whey is better nutritionally, but this product is decent and it's cheaper. It tastes and mixes alright. 

While stocks last.

Check out our new creamy pea protein isolate too. It's nutritionally similar to whey but is also cheaper.

Rated 4.23/5 Based on 26 customer reviews.

The best value. Vanilla is a top tier flavour. Can’t fault it.

I really should rate this horribly because it's damn good stuff and I don't want everyone to buy it all or the price to increase!

Milk protein is awesome because its 50/50 whey and casein, therefore balanced fast and slow digestion. You might add a third scoop if using it for post workout recovery, just so you get the benefit of a good serving of rapidly absorbed whey in the immediate post-exercise window.

Mixes pretty well all things considered, but is thicker than pure whey because of the casein content. Just add a bit more water as required.

Easy to drink.

Slow release casein makes for great satiety and long-burn aminos in your blood. Great for night time and breakfast.

I love it! ❤

NZ Protein should sponsor me for my high quality advertising spiel alone!

Great stuff!

Value Protein is a cheaper alternative to whey. Seems like a good product for the budget conscious with much the same benefit as whey, but slower digesting. It does fill you up a bit more than whey, so bear that in mind.

Fast, efficient, excellent company
Review by: Deb on Mon, Jun 22, 2026 3:03 PM
Gave this one (vanilla) 4 stars because you cant beat the price. But it mixes very thick in milk and is a little grainy and very foamy. Also quite sweet.

Good product for money though, but dont think id buy it again for my everyday shakes. Maybe will go good in a smoothie.

The chocolate value whey was better
Review by: Maria on Fri, Jun 19, 2026 9:21 AM
This is the vanilla flavour, from the ‘value’ whey protein range, it is great, mix’s well in my shaker and tastes great.
Review by: Eric on Thu, Jun 18, 2026 7:32 PM
Look it's definitely a downgrade from there regular product, whether that's an acceptable tradeoff for you and the lower price is your call. The flavour is pretty good, it just gets quite thick and requires extra water to thin it out.

Great product. Tastes good and mixes well. Insanely good price for its quality.
Review by: Sean on Mon, Jun 8, 2026 2:43 AM
Very good value for money. Love the vanilla flavour over the chocolate but my only grip is it a few less grams of protein per serve compared to the chocolate flavour that's no longer available NZPROTEIN REPLY: that chocolate you refer to was a different product. This is a new one
Review by: Bobby on Fri, Jun 5, 2026 2:18 PM
It’s nice, cheap and effective honestly.

Cheap
A lil gritty but downable
Review by: Anonymous on Tue, Jun 2, 2026 7:48 PM
Tastes a bit strange, kind of powdery and felt it doesn’t mix as well as the usual stuff. But I understand that Nzprotein are trying hard to keep the cost down so I appreciate it.

Such a great taste, mix very well, smooth and mild taste. it's very affordable and highly recommend it
Review by: Ali on Fri, May 29, 2026 12:52 PM
Mixes well, tastes good, excellent price. Very fast delivery as always - NZ Protein continues to deliver.:)
Review by: Ted on Thu, May 28, 2026 10:29 PM
NZ Protein used to sell a great value whey protein in chocolate flavour that was my go to. I tried this one since it no longer appears to be in stock.
It doesnt mix as well, and to me it doesnt taste as good. But still great value. Id love if they could bring back the old chocolate value whey.

Tastes good and mixes easily. No weird aftertaste, if you struggle with pea or whey I would definitely try this.
Review by: Kane on Wed, May 27, 2026 6:38 PM
Our second purchase of this great Value Protein. Thank you so much for making it available! Awesome product, no after-taste or upset tummy for either of us. We will keep buying.

Fast shipping and great value for money. Very satisfied!
Review by: Chunbum on Tue, May 26, 2026 12:47 PM
Tastes like very sweet milk (go figure). Thick and foamy, mixes completely in a few shakes, and affordable as. Probably a 6 or 7 out of 10 when it comes to taste. I'm surprised to be the first review for how seemingly good this is.

Test Reports

Here at NZProtein we always strive to be the best at what we do. We invest heavily in research and development to have innovative products and the best flavours.

We stand firmly behind our products so we have commenced periodic batch testing of products by independent third party laboratories. These test reports will provide further evidence of the standards we adhere to.

Please note that we will not be able to test every flavour due to the costs - there are simply too many flavours and various batches manufactured. For example, in the NZ Whey alone we have over 20 flavours, so it is not practicable to test every flavour in every batch but we will periodically submit samples in various flavours for analysis.
