Premier Protein vs Muscle Milk Protein Powder
The two supermarket staples, and one of the most lopsided labels we have compared. Premier Protein’s powder delivers around 30g of protein at 150 calories, a genuinely lean panel. Muscle Milk Genuine is a different product wearing the same aisle: its 70g two scoop serving carries around 32g of protein but 270 calories and 9g of fat, closer to a light mass gainer than a lean protein powder, and its lead source is slower digesting milk protein rather than whey. Every number below is transcribed from the manufacturer’s nutrition label and verified by hand, then compared across every flavour we have checked.
