Looking for the Best Protein Powder for Teenagers? Meet Protein Balance!
At Bulk Nutrients, we’ve noticed a gap in the protein and supplement market for a protein designed with teenagers and growing bodies in mind. But imagine if there was a product that met those needs, but also suited people as they age, with a good source of dietary fibre?
Well now there is – Bulk Nutrients’ Protein Balance!
Protein Balance has been designed with great taste in mind. Smooth and choc-malt flavoured with natural flavours and sweeteners, it’s easy to drink and enjoy by itself or mixed into a smoothie.
Missing KidActiv? Protein Balance is a great alternative to support young, growing bodies.
With more than 20 grams of protein per serve from Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) and a good source of dietary fibre from peas, Protein Balance is suitable for kids and teenagers looking for a great tasting, easy to drink shake, or for someone looking to support their muscle mass as they age.
If you’ve got a gap in your diet and are looking for a product that’s high in protein, has a good source of dietary fibre, and includes a balance of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes – Protein Balance is the ideal product.
Product Description
A Product Perfect for Nurturing Young Bodies
Protein Balance is powered by our WPC, with more than 21 grams per 37 gram serve. WPC is naturally rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
Why is protein needed for teenagers? Simply, protein is a macronutrient needed for growth, and to keep muscles healthy. It’s important children have an adequate level of protein in their diet to support their development, especially during their teenage years when they experience growth spurts.
We all know teenagers can be fussy, which is why we’ve created Protein Balance in a delicious Choc Malt flavour!
Great for growing bodies and those looking to add a balanced nutritional supplement into their diet, Protein Balance is also a good source of dietary fibre, with over 4 grams per serve. Our blend also contains a mixture of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to support hydration.
Not Just For The Young, But For The Young At Heart!
While Protein Balance is a great option for kids and teenagers and their growing bodies, it’s a product that is formulated to support healthy ageing.
Protein is good for growth and muscle recovery for young people, as well as those who are needing a little bit of extra support as they age. Protein supports good health, immunity and physical function in older adults. Protein in the body is found in muscle, and muscle mass is proven to decrease as we age. Research has suggested protein requirements may be higher in older adults, with too little protein in the diet potentially linked to malnutrition and muscle loss.
Protein Balance Designed For Digestion
As a raw ingredient, Pea Fibre contains 67% dietary fibre. Included in our Protein Balance, each serve contains over 4 grams of fibre.
A diet high in fibre can help with maintaining a healthy gut and overall metabolic health, making Protein Balance a great option for those looking to support their body in times of intensive growth as well as when we age.
Protein Balance also contains a lactase enzyme. We understand not all bodies process whey proteins equally, and the added lactase enzyme helps enable a quicker breakdown of the lactose elements, helping in digestion.
Naturally Flavoured and Sweetened
We use cocoa, along with our special blend of Stevia and Thaumatin (carefully developed by our R&D team) to flavour and sweeten Protein Balance. Our sweetener blend provides a sweet taste similar to sugar with zero bitterness, unlike some conventional natural sweeteners.
We know flavour is important, especially for younger fussier taste buds, and our Choc Malt has been meticulously tested to ensure a well-rounded, great tasting drink every time.
Why Try Protein Balance?
If you’re looking for a great tasting protein shake that’s both high in protein and a good source of dietary fibre, Protein Balance is perfect for your family. It’s a great alternative for those who used to purchase KidActiv for their growing teenagers, and is a supplement filled with protein and dietary fibre that can aid you as you age gracefully.
A blend of Whey Protein Concentrate, Pea Fibre, Vitamins, Minerals and Electrolytes, Protein Balance is just that – a balanced protein supplement that’s great for any age.

Product FAQs
How does Protein Balance taste?
Protein Balance has been developed for its fantastic taste. It's like a chocolate milkshake - only good for you!
What is Protein Balance made from?
The protein in Protein Balance is derived from milk, with some added dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.
How is Protein Balance packaged?
This product is packaged in resealable 1kg pouches.
Is the packaging for Protein Balance recyclable?
In theory yes, but not in all council areas right now.
The REDcycle program has been discontinued, and the industry is working together to find a solution to continue recycling soft plastics. For now, we recommend checking with your local council, but most require you to put the packaging in your regular landfill bin.
The included scoop can be recycled as hard plastic in your local council pickup.

Can I receive a discount buying more than one of this product at once?
Absolutely! Price breaks for Protein Balance begin when you purchase 2 x 1kg pouches.
