What customers say about Whey Protein Vanilla
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla, and what sort of protein powder is it?
Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla is a vanilla-flavoured whey protein powder containing 78% protein: a 25-gram serving provides 19 grams of protein.
Whey is a protein derived from milk. A serving of two tablespoons provides 95 kcal, 1.3 grams of fat (of which 1.0 gram is saturated), 1.9 grams of carbohydrates (of which 1.5 grams are naturally occurring sugars), and 0 grams of fibre. Per 100 grams, that amounts to 78 grams of protein, 380 kcal, 5.4 grams of fat and 7.7 grams of carbohydrates. The powder is designed to supplement your daily protein intake, whether you’re training or not.
What is whey protein good for?
Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla provides 19 grams of protein per serving, and protein is covered by EU-approved health claims relating to muscle mass and bones.
Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
These claims apply to foods that are a source of protein: at least 12 per cent of the energy must come from protein. This powder is high in protein, with 82 per cent of the energy coming from protein. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
What ingredients does it contain, and is Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla certified organic?
Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla contains three ingredients: whey protein concentrate provides the protein, natural vanilla flavouring (2.1%) provides the flavour, and steviol glycosides (0.2%) provide the sweetness.
No, Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla is not certified organic. Among other things, it contains steviol glycosides as a sweetener, and these are not permitted in organic food. Our protein powders Whey Natural Organic, Casein Organic and Vegan Protein Organic are, however, certified organic.
What does this vanilla protein powder taste like, and what is it sweetened with?
Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla has a vanilla flavour, is creamy and slightly sweet, and is sweetened with steviol glycosides, with no added sugars.
Steviol glycosides, also known as stevia, provide the sweetness; the flavour comes from natural vanilla flavouring. It contains no other sweeteners, artificial flavourings or colourings, and the powder contains naturally occurring sugars, made from milk: 1.5 grams per serving. When mixed with water, the flavour remains lighter; when mixed with milk or a nut-based drink, the shake becomes richer. If you’d like to try it first, there’s a 25-gram sample, exactly one serving. If you’d prefer no flavour at all, take a look at Whey Natural Organic, which is flavourless.
How do you make a protein shake using this vanilla protein powder, and does it dissolve properly?
Mix two tablespoons of Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla (25 grams) with 250 ml of water, milk or a nut-based drink in a shaker or blender.
Yes, the powder dissolves well in a shaker or blender; if you just use a spoon, lumps are more likely to form. Blend until the protein shake is creamy. There’s no measuring spoon in the packet, so use two tablespoons or weigh out 25 grams. The RVS Measuring Scoop is available separately. You can also stir the powder into porridge, yoghurt or a smoothie; you’ll find more ideas in our high-protein smoothie recipes.
How much protein do you need each day, and how many protein shakes can you drink?
The recommended daily intake of protein is 50 grams, and one portion of Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla provides 19 grams of this.
Stick to 1 to 3 servings of 25 grams per day. If you exercise a lot, your requirements will increase quickly: here’s how to calculate your protein requirements. You can combine it with other Ekopura products, such as magnesium, omega-3 or our other protein powders: this powder contains no added vitamins or minerals, so you won’t be getting a double dose of them. If you’re using another protein powder, a different brand or a multivitamin alongside this, add those amounts together. Stick to the recommended daily intake for each product.
When should you drink a protein shake: after exercise or at breakfast?
There’s no set time for a protein shake with Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla: after a workout, at breakfast or as a snack: any of these work.
What matters is your total protein intake over the course of the day, not the exact time. If you work out, many people choose to have their shake after their workout, simply because that’s a fixed part of their daily routine. There’s no set time for protein intake in the EU, so choose the time that works best for you.
Is Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla a whey concentrate or a whey isolate?
Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla is a whey protein concentrate containing 78% protein, so it is a whey concentrate and not a whey isolate.
An isolate is filtered further after ultrafiltration and therefore has a higher protein content and lower levels of lactose and fat. With this powder, the processing stops after ultrafiltration. If you want as little lactose as possible, an isolate or a plant-based protein powder would be a more obvious choice.
Where does the whey in Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla come from, and is it heated?
The milk used to produce the whey in Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla comes from dairy farms in southern Germany and the Alpine region.
Yes, the milk is heated briefly: during processing, the temperature rises briefly, remains at 60 degrees for 15 to 20 seconds, and is then cooled again. At that temperature, the protein structure is preserved, so the whey is not denatured. This is followed only by ultrafiltration, which brings the protein content to 78 per cent.
How are the cows kept that supply our milk?
Our milk comes from dairy farms in southern Germany and the Alpine region, where the cows go outside as soon as the weather and the ground allow it. On top of the European welfare rules that apply to all dairy cattle, they get at least 60% roughage in the daily ration (grass, hay or silage), feed that largely comes from the farm itself or from the region, and a dry lying area with straw or other suitable natural bedding on a solid floor.
Does Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla contain any allergens, and does it contain lactose?
Yes, Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla contains milk and lactose, and milk is one of the fourteen allergens that must be declared in the EU.
Whey comes from milk, so this whey powder naturally contains milk protein and milk sugar (lactose). No other allergens subject to labelling requirements are present in the ingredients. If you have a cow’s milk allergy, do not use this product. If you are lactose intolerant, it depends on how much you can tolerate; if in doubt, consult your doctor or dietitian. If you’re looking for a protein powder without milk, take a look at our plant-based protein powders. If you’re unsure about a specific ingredient, please ask us.
Vanilla whey or plant-based protein: which should you choose, and is Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla vegetarian?
Choose Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla if you consume dairy, and a plant-based protein powder if you’re vegan or lactose intolerant.
Yes, this whey is suitable for vegetarians, but not for vegans, and it contains lactose: whey naturally contains milk protein and milk sugar. If you follow a plant-based diet, take a look at our plant-based protein powders. These contain between 71 and 84 per cent protein, so in terms of protein per serving, they’re not far behind this whey.
Protein shake for weight loss: does it help?
No, Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla is not a weight-loss product: there are no approved claims in the EU regarding protein and weight loss, satiety or fat burning.
A protein shake does, however, increase your total protein intake without adding too many extra calories: a 25-gram serving provides 19 grams of protein at 95 kcal, and those calories count towards your daily intake. The register only lists claims for weight loss relating to glucomannan and meal replacements, and this powder is neither of these. If you want to lose weight, have your diet assessed by a dietitian or your GP.
Whey protein during pregnancy, whilst breastfeeding or for children: what should you bear in mind?
If you are using Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla whilst pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you wish to give it to a child, please seek advice first.
The dosage is intended for adults. Children require a different dose; please consult your GP, pharmacist or child health clinic for advice. With a powder, a smaller portion may be appropriate; discuss this with one of them.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your midwife, GP or pharmacist, and take the list of ingredients with you: whey protein concentrate, natural vanilla flavouring and steviol glycosides.
Ordering, delivery and storage
How do you store the powder and what is the shelf life?
Store the powder well sealed at room temperature, dry and out of direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
That keeps the taste and the texture good for longest. The best-before date is printed at the bottom of the back of the pouch. We guarantee a minimum shelf life of twelve months. Close an opened pouch properly after every use, so that no moisture gets in.
Can you order this whey on subscription?
Yes, you can order Whey Protein Vanilla on subscription with 5% off every delivery, and you choose from five delivery frequencies.
You can change, pause or cancel the subscription at any time. Postponing a delivery, changing the frequency and switching product are possible too. A 500 gram pouch is good for 20 servings, so with one shake a day you pick a frequency of about three weeks.
When will my order arrive?
In the Netherlands and Belgium an order placed before 22:00 on a working day is as a rule delivered the next day.
There the delivery time is 1 to 2 working days, and weekend orders are as a rule delivered on Tuesday. Shipping costs 3.99 euros in the Netherlands and 4.99 euros in Belgium, and in those two countries it is free from an order value of 25 euros; the amount after any bundle discount counts. For other countries the delivery time, the shipping costs and the free shipping threshold depend on where you order to, and you will find the current figures on our shipping page.
Can I return Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla?
Yes, you have 30 days to change your mind after receipt, and as long as the seal is unbroken you can return Ekopura Whey Protein Vanilla within that period.
This product is sealed for reasons of health protection and hygiene. If that seal is broken after delivery, the right of withdrawal lapses for this product. You register the return yourself in our returns portal and then receive a free return label. The full terms are on our returns page.
