Protein Shake

A protein shake is a ready-to-drink protein drink: you open it, you drink it, done. No shaker, no powder to scoop, no lumps. Every bottle gives you a serving of high quality protein in a format you can take anywhere.

The QNT MOVE range gives you two complementary formats:

• Protein Shake 12 x 330 ml: the on-the-go Tetra carton, perfect for your gym bag, your desk or the car, available in several tasty flavours (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla).
• Protein Shake in Glass 12 x 500 ml: the glass bottle version at 500 ml, more generous (vanilla flavour), with a taste even closer to a real milkshake.

What they share: a fast-absorbing protein source that contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass, with zero preparation. The ideal answer when you are short on time but not on goals.

The strength of a protein shake is that it turns your protein intake into one simple move. Where a homemade shake needs powder, a shaker, water or milk and a bit of washing up, the ready-to-drink version is already measured out and good to go.

The day-to-day upsides:

• Maximum convenience: a quick top-up meal or a protein snack in seconds, even far from home.
• Consistent dosing: you know exactly what you are drinking in every bottle, no guesswork.
• Great taste: a milkshake-like texture that makes hitting your protein genuinely enjoyable.
• Portable format: the 330 ml carton slips in anywhere, while the 500 ml glass bottle keeps in the fridge for taste that stays intact.

It is the perfect option when you want to support your recovery and your intake without any logistics, at work, on the move or straight after the gym.

The real question before you buy: how much protein per bottle, and for which goal?

A QNT protein shake gives you a high-protein serving per portion, designed to top up your daily intake with no effort. In practice, the 330 ml carton delivers 25 g of whey protein with a low sugar content, while the 500 ml glass format climbs to 53 g of protein for a more substantial snack: choose based on your hunger and the moment you drink it.

For context, the usual guidance sits around 1.5 to 2 g of protein per kilo of body weight per day for an athlete looking to build muscle mass. Hitting that total from meals alone is not always easy: this is exactly where a protein drink earns its place.

Protein contributes to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. A shake is not magic: it tops up a balanced diet, it does not replace it.

The timing of a protein shake depends on your goal. Good news: there is no bad time, only smarter moments.

• After training: the classic move. A protein drink within 30 to 60 minutes of your session helps deliver the protein your muscles need for recovery.
• As a snack: between meals, the shake takes the edge off hunger and keeps your protein steady across the day, ideal when your schedule is packed.
• At breakfast or on the move: when you have no time to cook, it gives you a fast intake to start the day right.
• As an occasional fill-in: now and then, for a meal you simply cannot fit in.

The 330 ml carton is perfect for the post-workout, on-the-go moment, while the 500 ml glass bottle suits a more substantial snack. Match the right format to the right moment.

Plenty of people look for a protein drink for a diet or for weight loss. Here is how to use one smartly, without false promises.

The main strength of protein is satiety: it helps you feel full for longer, which can curb the urge to snack between meals. Used as a snack or as an occasional meal replacement, a protein shake helps you better manage your calorie intake while keeping protein high, which is valuable for protecting muscle mass when you are eating less. And for savoury snacking, swapping a bag of regular crisps for Protein Chips keeps the crunch and the treat with far more filling protein.

A few useful pointers:

• treat the shake as a support tool, not a diet on its own;
• keep a balanced diet around it, rich in vegetables and fibre;
• stay well hydrated, water helps digest protein;
• pair it with regular physical activity.

A shake will not lose the weight for you: it is a practical ally for structuring your days and sticking to your goals without giving up the enjoyment.

Both QNT MOVE protein shakes cover different needs. Here is how to decide.

Protein Shake 12 x 330 ml (Tetra carton)

• Ultra portable and light, slips into any bag.
• Ideal after the gym, at the office or while travelling.
• 25 g of protein per bottle and several flavours to choose from (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla) to keep things varied.
• The pack of 12 means you always have a serving in reserve.

Protein Shake in Glass 12 x 500 ml

• A more generous format with 53 g of protein for a substantial snack or a bigger appetite.
• The glass bottle (vanilla flavour) preserves the taste best, for a texture close to a real milkshake.
• Perfect to keep chilled at home.

Our advice: take the 330 ml carton for mobility and the 500 ml glass version for enjoyment at home. Many athletes combine the two depending on the time of day. And if you would rather mix your own, take a look at our protein powders such as whey or isolate.
