18 Shaklee Protein Supplements + Collagen
UPDATE: Soon to be 19 choices! Coming in October, 2025, is the first ever (that we are aware) Sparkling Protein that you can enjoy as a seltzer beverage and get 40 grams (yes 40g!!) in just one can. This won’t be for everyone, but it can definitely fulfill a need for many. More about that below!
Protein + Energy
Imagine unlocking a level of energy and vitality that you are not currently feeling—every single day.
Do you know how many grams of protein your body needs each day?
Getting to that target amount for your body can make a difference in your health and how you feel each day and also how healthy you will age.
Whether you’re running a marathon or simply running errands, your body depends on protein to function at its best.
From the strength of your hair to the bottom of your feet, protein is the building block that supports your muscles, skin, immune system, and so much more. It keeps you energized, helps you recover, and ensures your body run smoothly.
Without enough protein, your body can struggle.
Adults need about 0.8g of protein per pound of target weight each day. That means if your goal weight is 150 lbs, your body thrives on 120g of protein daily. Your activity level and other factors should also be considered but this is general information for a healthy, active body.
Many people are unknowingly under-consuming protein, widening the gap between how we want to age and how we’re actually aging. Less muscle. More fatigue. Faster decline.
Sound like a lot of protein? We thought so, at first. New science is saying that we need more protein than we thought to preserve and build lean muscle. There’s lots of science and research about skeletal muscle and how it is related to healthy lonevity. We will do a separate post about this since Shaklee continues to innovate healthy nutrition and is sharing more about the science and research.
When we were introduced to the brand we partner with here at AntiAgingByDesign over 43 years ago, we were told that just two simple nutrition supplements – a daily multi-vitamin/multi-mineral and a serving of a protein supplement would not only bridge the gap of the nutrients we do not get in our food each day, but are guaranteed that we would FEEL BETTER in 30 days or get our money back.
Interestingly, this is the exact same way that the brand recommends a new person get started today, and with the exact same guarantee. And, in the process of trying these two natural nutrition supplements, you learn just WHY they can make the guarantee – you learn HOW these products are different – and WHAT they are going to do in your body.
Just like Shaklee does, when new discoveries and scientific proof become available, we make changes and incorporate them in our nutrition plan. For us that means raising the amount of protein we target each day.
Today we explore 18 protein supplements that help us get to the unique amount we need – and they are all from THE SAME BRAND, the most clinically proven wellness company in the world.
It is up to you to determine the amount your body needs. And if you need help getting that extra protein, please consider the options here that we have used for so many years and can personally testify to their value.

When we consider protein supplements, especially recently when safety matters become real, we think it’s more important than ever to use a brand that guarantees safety.
At Shaklee, your health and safety are always our top priorities. And with the growing concerns about heavy metals in protein powders, we want to assure you that we are committed to giving you clean and safe wellness solutions. This means we rigorously test our products for lead and other heavy metals to meet the highest safety standards. We also comply with California’s Prop 65 regulations—one of the strictest product safety standards in the world—ensuring that our products remain well within safe, naturally occurring lead limits.
Prop 65 and Lead Safety
Prop 65 establishes stringent guidelines for lead exposure, setting limits that are much stricter than the FDA’s tolerable intake level and exceeding the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These regulations are designed to protect consumers even when heavy metal levels are far below those that pose any health risk. Because heavy metals are naturally occurring elements found in soil, trace amounts may be present in plant-based ingredients. This is why rigorous testing and responsible sourcing are essential to ensuring our products are safe.

Lean muscle begins declining in your 30s and accelerates in your 50s, quietly eroding strength, slowing metabolism, and sapping vitality. Muscle isn’t just for athletes, it’s for every single one of us. And now we are learning that your muscle is one of the strongest predictors of how well you age.
If you are not feeling your best in terms of your health, don’t have the energy you need each day, and are looking to make some changes, PROTEIN can make a difference.
A word about the brand we partner with here at AntiAgingByDesign: we have personally used this brand for over 43 years. This brand is Shaklee and Dr. Shaklee actually created the first multi-vitamin product in America which he called vitalized minerals. AND he also created the first protein isolate powder protein supplement. He felt these two nutrition products were the foundation of optimal health since together they help bridge the gap of the nutrients you don’t get enough of in your food each day. More about the distribution model Dr. Shaklee chose at the bottom.
Protein Supplements
Welcome to the fascinating world of Shaklee’s protein supplements, where each shake is more than just a drink—it’s a step towards a rejuvenated and fuller tomorrow.
Dive in as we explore 18 transformative protein supplements designed to fuel your body, mind, and spirit. Ready to embrace the change?
We all need our daily protein, and even if you’re not on a targeted fitness journey where you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle, you probably need more protein because most of us don’t get enough.
Getting enough protein isn’t always easy, and it can be hard to find quality protein supplements. Shaklee has a long legacy of providing protein shakes that are packed with the protein and nutrients your body needs to support muscle recovery and wellness.
Plant Protein
Life Shake gets updated as Shaklee stays innovative. The newest formulation has 0 g of sugar.
If you prefer plant or vegan protein, whether for dietary restrictions or personal preferences, the plant protein shakes contain pea protein, which is naturally obtained from yellow peas. Pea protein also contains essential amino acids that your body needs. Shaklee plant and vegan formulations also contain a blend of chia and pumpkin seed proteins, which contain good-for-you nutrients like fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and of course, protein.
Shaklee plant and vegan protein options come in a wide variety of delicious flavors: French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate and seasonal flavors (which sell out quick) and in 14 or 28 serving sizes.

Soy
If you prefer soy protein, Shaklee obtains natural soy protein concentrate from bioavailable plant protein in non-GMO soybeans. They also extract soy protein isolate from defatted soy flour to provide you with a more complete protein powder. This isolate also contains the essential amino acids your body can’t create on its own, so you have a quick and easy source of proteins and amino acids.
Shaklee soy protein is available in French Vanilla, Rich Chocolate and Strawberry flavors, and in 14 or 28 serving sizes. The newest formulation has 0 g of sugar.
[3 flavors and 2 sizes = 6 protein options from Shaklee]

Whey
Many people prefer to get their protein from whey, and so Shaklee makes a clean, science-backed protein powder with 100% grass-fed whey protein. They use a proprietary cold filtration process to ensure the essential bioactives are preserved during the formulation process. Shaklee whey protein shakes also have 50% more leucine than traditional whey protein products, which helps support lean muscle growth.
The whey protein flavors include Vanilla, Chocolate and Banana.

Protein Benefits
Everyone needs protein, and you especially need to pay attention to how much protein you’re getting if you want to lose weight or build muscle. Whether you’re on a fitness journey or not, our protein shakes help with overall health in several ways, including:
- More Energy – Stay energized with 20 grams of non-GMO protein and essential amino acids. These also help you stay sated until your next meal.
- Support Overall Health – Our shakes have 24 essential vitamins and minerals to support heart, brain, vision, immune, and bone health.
- Support Better Digestion – Our shakes contain fiber, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes to support a healthier gut.
- Support Fitness Goals – Our protein shakes help build and retain lean muscle, burn fat, and support a healthy metabolism.
Protein for Children
Children can drink the Life Shakes but may prefer Shaklee Meal Shakes which were formulated more for children. Also adults can drink Meal Shakes if they prefer.
With their on-the-go lives, kids don’t always have time for a sit-down meal. That’s why they need fast food options that are also good for them—choices like low-fat, low-glycemic Shaklee Meal Shakes in French Vanilla or Bavarian Cocoa flavors.
I know years ago my own kids (who are now parents) would drink Shaklee Meal Shakes for a quick and nutritious breakfast or supplement before sports practices or games, and now the grandkids do the same!
Shaklee Meal Shakes are great-tasting, easy-to-mix drinks that pack extra nutrition into any meal or snack. They provide 19 essential vitamins and minerals, and they’re a rich source of calcium and an excellent source of protein—the fundamental nutrients that growing kids and teens need to stay strong and healthy. They are a non-soy protein choice.

Original Energizing Soy Protein
This protein supplement was Shaklee’s original stand-alone Protein supplement – the one we were introduced to 43 years ago. Since that time this soy option was rolled into the Soy Life Shake which is what we personally use today. We like the option better because we use it as a meal – either breakfast or lunch – and so we want all the other nutrients that are in the Life Shake as part of a full meal replacement.
I do still have Shaklee family members that love and use the original Energizing Soy Protein for several reasons specific to their needs, such as 1) they eat their 2 meals and want a simple protein powder for an in-between addition to make sure they get enough protein for the day, or 2) they like to add all kinds of nutritious ingredients to their smoothie and don’t need the full Life Shake option.
Energizing Soy Protein is the origin of the entire Shaklee line of protein supplement powders, and as we mentioned earlier – the first protein isolate supplement created in America by Dr. Shaklee.

COLLAGEN
Shaklee has a very special and unique Collagen 9 product that comes in 3 sizes: 2 sizes of pouches and one size box of individual packets that are perfect to take along for the day or for travel.
Collagen-9™ is the most complete collagen product, uniquely designed to include all 9 essential amino acids needed to support protein synthesis, including collagen. Combined with biotin and vitamin C, these crucial nutrients aid in promoting healthy hair, skin, nails, and joints.*
More under the Science tab on our Shaklee store: Collagen 9.
The other Collagen option with Shaklee is in one of the multi-tasker nutrition products: Up & Glowing.
A delicious vanilla latte mix uniquely designed to deliver the essentials you need to boost your energy levels and your beauty routine. Contains all the necessary building blocks for protein (including collagen) synthesis: 10 g of collagen, all 9 essential amino acids, and 100% DV of vitamin C; with hyaluronic acid and biotin to support the healthy appearance of hair, skin, and nails; and 80 mg caffeine from natural green tea extract to help keep you going.*
Will an extra protein supplement make a difference in your day? In your life? Only you can be the judge of that, but there is that 100% guarantee so you don’t have much to lose when you try it!
We realize there is a large number of options to review and/or consider. If you have any questions about any of the protein supplements, reach out anytime!
SPARKLING PROTEIN COMING IN OCTOBER, 2025
Shaklee Sparkling Protein is a first-of-its-kind functional protein seltzer. We got to try it early along with a few members of our Shaklee family and it’s pretty amazing that there is 40 grams of protein in what tastes like a lemon/lime soda.
Shaklee posted that the protein is: ‘next generation whey protein, delivering a superior essential amino acid and BCAA profile compared to other whey proteins, providing higher amounts of each amino acid, including leucine, to help build and repair lean muscle, and to help build structural and functional proteins throughout the body.
Also interesting is that Sparkling Protein can help people who use GLP-1 meds because it is formulated to:
- Naturally Boost GLP-1 Levels: Supports appetite control and reduces cravings by naturally increasing GLP-1 hormone levels.
- Support Metabolic Health: Boost energy with 40 g ultra-pure protein and a precise ratio of essential amino acids.
- Manage Hunger Cravings
We will have a complete post about it as October gets closer and we get the complete information to share.
The natural nutrition brand we recommend here on the blog are products we have personally used for the past 43+ years. We are not medical professionals. We are on a personal health journey to live younger, energized and healthy longer.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Shaklee is a direct selling company, meaning that the products are not sold in stores. And please don’t let the fact that Dr. Shaklee created this business model to sell his unique products that he didn’t want sitting on store shelves and not able to have the science and efficacy explained, or that Shaklee is a social (network) marketing company, scare you because 1) aren’t we all socializing and networking these days, but most important, 2) the majority of Shaklee consumers (somewhere around 70 or 80%) are customers only – not business builders. That’s because the business is not for everyone, but the products can be for anyone. Personally, we used the products for almost 20 years before we became active distributors and that’s because they worked so well for us and others wanted to try them as well. It made sense for us to become distributors, especially since this was before you could order small personal orders online. Today anyone, like YOU can order directly from Shaklee and we would still be your distributor and able to help you in any way you need including product information.
