Lowest Calorie Protein Shakes in Australia - Ranked 2026
The major RTD protein shakes in Australia, ranked by calories per 100mL, lowest first. The most calorie-efficient picks with serious protein density.
46 products ranked. Updated 2026-06-13.
Overview
The fridge cabinet is crowded with RTD shakes, but the numbers show a clear divide between serious recovery drinks and standard flavoured milk. EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake claims the crown with a Protein Score of 10, delivering 7.1g of protein per 100ml and keeping sugar down to 0.4g of sugar per 100ml. It hits the right macros for a post-gym refuel without the powder faff. Shoppers chasing pure density often grab Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla, which leads this list with 9.9g of protein per 100ml. You will find most of the 46 drinks in our wider catalogue stocked at Coles and Woolworths, where the shelves are dominated by Optimum Nutrition, Rokeby and Dairy Farmers. Muscle Nation RTD Protein Shake Strawberry Milkshake also ranks near the top, offering 7.5g of protein per 100ml alongside 1.6g of sugar per 100ml. The trade-off in this category is usually the sweetener stack required to make high-protein milk palatable without added sugar. Because the leader carries 7 additives to hold its texture, strict clean-label shoppers should skip it and pick up the Rokeby Protein Smoothie Vanilla Wafer instead, which earns a Clean Score of 9.8 for avoiding artificial sweeteners.
The verdict
On paper, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake claims the crown in our index, delivering 7.1g protein per 100ml and a very low 0.4g sugar per 100ml. However, with a heavy load of 7 additives, we suggest you skip it. If you want a genuine protein drink without the chemical stack, Rokeby Protein Smoothie Vanilla Wafer is the smarter pick. It earns Clean Score of 9.8 by keeping the ingredients simple while still offering a decent recovery hit for your post-gym routine. If your only goal is hitting maximum macros without shaking up powder, Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla leads this list for pure density with 9.9g protein per 100ml. Need to watch the carbs instead? Atkins Creamy Vanilla Protein Shake sits at the absolute bottom for sweetness with just 0.02g sugar per 100ml, though it also carries 7 additives. The chilled drinks cabinet offers convenience, but with so many artificial thickeners and sweeteners hiding in plain sight, you always need to read the back label.
Rankings
- #1. Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 35 Protein Shake Coffee 355ml - Protein Score 10.0/10 · Clean Score 8.5/10 · 35g/serve
With a Protein Score of 10.0, the OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake provides a serious macro profile for a grab-and-go option. EHP Labs steps out of its sports nutrition line to offer a convenient liquid format that hits 30g of protein per serve. It sits at 7.1g of protein per 100ml alongside a tiny 0.4g of sugar per 100ml and just 35 calories per 100ml. However, that macro efficiency comes with a catch. This drink carries a heavy load of 7 additives to maintain its texture and stability. If you prioritise a short ingredient list, skip it and look for cleaner protein drinks in our index. Otherwise, it functions as a highly effective post-gym refuel for shoppers avoiding the powder-and-shaker faff.
- #2. Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 35 Protein Shake Chocolate 355ml - Protein Score 10.0/10 · Clean Score 8.5/10 · 35g/serve
We score the Muscle Nation RTD Protein Shake Strawberry Milkshake with a Protein Score of 10.0, driven by a solid 30g of protein per serve. It keeps the macros tight at just 41 calories per 100ml and 1.6g of sugar per 100ml, making it an easy the supermarket fridge. While it ties on protein performance with our overall leader, the EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake, the formula comes with baggage. The trade-off for those numbers is a heavy run of 6 additives, dragging its Clean Score to 8.5. If you care about clean ingredients, skip it and grab the Rokeby Protein Smoothie Vanilla Wafer instead. For pure macro-chasers, this Muscle Nation drink pulls its weight, but it relies heavily on stabilisers and sweeteners to hold the texture together.

Editorial deep dive
The chiller cabinet is heavily stocked, with 46 protein drinks in the category competing to replace your post-gym drink. Shoppers lean on these bottles to avoid the powder faff, but getting a smooth mouthfeel without fresh milk usually requires a heavy dose of gums and stabilisers. The shelf is mostly Optimum Nutrition, Rokeby, and Dairy Farmers, but the overall leader on protein quality comes from a sports nutrition label. EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake claims the crown with a Protein Score of 10, delivering 7.1g protein/100ml and just 0.4g sugar/100ml at 35 cal/100ml. While the macros on that leader look sharp, the ingredients list is a different reality. The EHP Labs bottle requires 7 additives to hold its texture together. The runner-up faces the exact same issue. Muscle Nation RTD Protein Shake Strawberry Milkshake brings 7.5g protein/100ml and 1.6g sugar/100ml for 41 cal/100ml, but it relies on 6 additives to get there. If you want maximum density, Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla leads on a per-100ml basis with 9.9g protein/100ml and 0.3g sugar/100ml, though it also carries 6 additives. For shoppers trying to minimise their intake of artificial sweeteners and thickeners, the top of this ranking is a trap. If sugar is your absolute hard line, Atkins Creamy Vanilla Protein Shake strips it down to 0.02g sugar/100ml alongside 4.6g protein/100ml, but it hits you with 7 additives. These high-ranking options are easily spotted at Coles and Woolworths, but we say skip them if you want a clean ingredients panel. Because the top is so bogged down by heavy additive loads, we recommend walking past the overall winners and grabbing the cleanest pick instead. Rokeby Protein Smoothie Vanilla Wafer earns a Clean Score of 9.8, offering a much shorter, more recognisable ingredients list while still providing a genuine dairy protein hit. That is the one you should actually grab from the fridge.
Brand-by-brand notes
EHP Labs
Known heavily for their sports nutrition line, EHP Labs keeps their ready-to-drink options entirely off the major supermarket shelves. You will not find their drinks in Coles, Woolworths, or Aldi today, meaning shoppers have to order direct from their website or visit a specialty supplement stockist. We have scored exactly 1 protein drink from their current range, and it makes a serious impact on the numbers.It delivers 7.1g of protein per 100ml while keeping carbohydrates low, averaging just 0.4g of sugar per 100ml. While it does not hit the absolute highest protein mark set by Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla at 9.9g per 100ml, it strikes balance for anyone wanting a leaner macro profile. If you are already buying from their performance range online, adding this drink to your cart is an easy call. The macro split is genuinely top, though you do have to accept a fairly standard additive load and artificial sweeteners to achieve that low-sugar result. Grab it from a specialty stockist if you want a highly refined drink, but remember you cannot just pick it up on your weekly grocery run.
Muscle Nation
Muscle Nation started as an apparel and sports nutrition brand, but they have aggressively pushed into the everyday dairy cabinet. You will spot the 3 protein drinks we track from them sitting right in the fridge at Coles and Woolworths. They aim for the space between serious gym fuel and casual flavoured milk, bringing their supplement background straight to your grocery run. Across the lineup, these shakes deliver a uniform 7.5g of protein per 100ml and keep sugar low at 1.6g per 100ml. The Muscle Nation RTD Protein Shake Strawberry Milkshake mirrors these exact numbers, offering a decent macro profile that beats standard iced coffees but falls short of the absolute top. For context, the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake, runs leaner on the ingredients, while Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla pushes the protein ceiling higher at 9.9g per 100ml. Muscle Nation sits comfortably in the middle, relying on artificial sweeteners to keep the sugar down while hitting that mid-range protein target. If you are grabbing a quick recovery drink from the Coles or supermarket fridge, these shakes do exactly what you expect on the macros. The flavours lean noticeably sweet, so if you are trying to dodge a heavy artificial sweetener profile, you might want to skip them. Otherwise, they deliver dose of protein for a standard supermarket run without blowing out your daily sugar limit.
Optimum Nutrition
Optimum Nutrition is a massive global player in the sports nutrition space, bringing gym-focused macros into the ready-to-drink format. Their local footprint is genuinely split across channels. Of the 8 protein drinks we score from the brand, 4 sit in the supermarket fridges at Coles and Woolworths, while the other 4 are found through independent retailers and supplement stores. With 8 drinks in our index, they lead the shelf in sheer volume alongside Rokeby and Dairy Farmers. The numbers lean heavily toward raw muscle recovery, averaging a massive 8.9g of protein and just 1.3g of sugar per 100ml across the range. The clear standout is the Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla, which delivers 9.9g of protein and 0.3g of sugar per 100ml, securing its spot as the highest protein density pick in the category. For shoppers chasing maximum macros, tracking down the Pure Pro 50 bottles from an independent shop is the right move. If you are grabbing a quick option from the supermarket fridge, their standard High Protein shakes are a reliable grab, though they rely on a standard artificial sweetener stack. If your main goal is keeping calories at the absolute floor while still hitting your targets, you are better off picking up the overall category leader, the EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake.
Dairy Farmers
Dairy Farmers is one of the most familiar names in the Australian dairy cabinet, expanding beyond standard milk to capture the active crowd. We score 5 protein drinks from their lineup, and all are readily stocked in the chilled aisles at major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. In this guide, the shelf is mostly Optimum Nutrition, Rokeby, and Dairy Farmers. Across their range, these drinks average 7.5g of protein and 4.6g of sugar per 100ml. The Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothie Vanilla is our standout from the brand, delivering 7.5g of protein per 100ml and 4.6g of sugar per 100ml. The Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothie Chocolate lands as the weakest in our index, posting an identical 7.5g of protein per 100ml and 4.6g of sugar per 100ml.If you are grabbing a quick refuel during your weekly supermarket trip, the Dairy Farmers range offers a straightforward option. Every flavour relies on artificial sweeteners to keep the sugar manageable, so purists might want to skip them and look for cleaner profiles. For shoppers who just want an accessible, chilled protein hit straight from the Coles or supermarket fridge, the Vanilla smoothie gets the job done without overcomplicating the formula.
Pauls
Pauls is a massive name in Australian dairy, stepping beyond standard milk cartons to compete in the fortified functional space. Their PLUS+ line takes familiar flavoured milk profiles and bumps up the macros for the grab-and-go crowd. You will not have to hunt for these, as all 4 protein drinks we cover here are stocked in major Australian supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. The 4 protein drinks we score from the brand sit uniformly across the board, averaging 7.5g of protein per 100ml and 5.1g of sugar per 100ml. The Pauls Plus+ Protein Flavoured Milk Banana & Honey mirrors this exactly, delivering 7.5g of protein per 100ml alongside 5.1g of sugar per 100ml. That protein density for a dairy snack, but it trails the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake. The sugar load is also noticeably higher than the leaner options we review, largely because these drinks rely on a mix of natural milk sugars, polydextrose, and artificial sweeteners to hit their taste profile. If you want a traditional flavoured milk experience with a functional macro boost, throwing a Pauls PLUS+ carton into your trolley during a supermarket run makes sense. The Banana & Honey flavour hits the nostalgia mark well without completely abandoning the macros. However, if you are strictly tracking carbs or actively trying to minimise your sweetener intake, you might want to skip these and look toward the cleaner, lower-sugar alternatives in the dairy cabinet.
Crankt
If you have ever grabbed a quick drink on the run, you have probably seen Crankt sitting in the fridge. We track 3 protein drinks from the brand, all of which are easy to pick up during a standard grocery trip at Coles, Woolworths or Aldi. They pitch themselves as a functional lifestyle beverage, but a look at the raw label data shows this older formula is struggling to keep up with the modern pack. Across the lineup, Crankt averages 5.2g of protein and 2.7g of sugar per 100ml.The Crankt Premium Protein Shake Chocolate stands as both the brand's standout and its weakest link, delivering 5.2g of protein and 2.6g of sugar per 100ml. It relies on a noticeable stack of artificial sweeteners, stabilisers and emulsifiers to hold the texture together, making it a distinctly mid-tier option. If you are walking the supermarket aisle looking for a serious refuel, we suggest you skip Crankt. The protein figures just do not stack up against the denser, cleaner options sitting right next to it in the fridge. Unless it is the only bottle left at a regional roadhouse, you can easily find a better nutritional profile without leaving the dairy section.
Dare
Dare built its reputation in the Australian iced coffee scene before stepping into the functional dairy space. While they are famous for their traditional sugar-heavy milks, they now offer a dedicated high-protein lineup. The three protein drinks we score from their range easy to find, stocked right across the country on the shelves of Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. On the numbers, this range is fairly mid when stacked against the wider category of 3 drinks. The three Dare options we track average 6.0g of protein and 4.6g of sugar per 100ml. The Dare Protein Mocha Flavoured Milk represents the lineup perfectly, delivering 6g of protein and 4.5g of sugar per 100ml alongside artificial sweeteners like 950 and 951. It trails noticeably behind the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake, which pushes higher protein with a fraction of the sugar. If you want a familiar coffee hit during your usual supermarket trip, Dare's protein line serves as a convenient bridge between regular flavoured milk and sports nutrition. We don't give nutritional advice, but the data shows these drinks lean heavily on artificial sweeteners to balance their macros. Shoppers strictly chasing protein density should probably skip these and look for a leaner option in the fridge.
Atkins
Atkins built its name on the low-carb diet boom in the United States, and that legacy carries straight into their modern sports nutrition line. All 2 protein drinks we cover here are stocked in major Australian supermarkets. You will easily spot these signature shakes on your next trip to Coles, Woolworths, or Aldi when you need a quick fridge grab. On the numbers, these shakes are strictly built for carb-cutters rather than pure muscle recovery. The Atkins Creamy Vanilla Protein Shake delivers 4.6g of protein per 100ml, which sits well behind the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake. However, the Atkins Creamy Vanilla Protein Shake claims the lowest sugar crown for the entire category at just 0.02g of sugar per 100ml. The weakest link is the Atkins Smooth Chocolate Protein Shake, which yields 4.6g of protein per 100ml and 0.03g of sugar per 100ml, keeping the brand average to a flat 0.0g of sugar per 100ml. If your sole priority is keeping sugar off your daily macro count, this lineup does exactly what it promises. Grab the vanilla shake during your supermarket run if you want the absolute leanest option on sugar. But if you are chasing a dense post-gym refuel, this range falls short on raw protein volume. Shoppers wanting a heavier protein hit should leave these in the chiller and look for a dedicated sports brand in the same aisle.
Musashi
Musashi is one of Australia's oldest sports nutrition brands, operating since 1987. While they are known for a massive supplement and sports nutrition line, we are looking specifically at their ready-to-drink options here. All 2 protein drinks we cover here are stocked in major Australian supermarkets, making them an easy grab from the fridge at Coles or Woolworths. On the numbers, this brand scores highly for protein density. The Musashi lineup averages 8.3g of protein and 3.0g of sugar per 100ml. The standout is the Musashi Shred & Burn Chocolate Protein Shake, which hits 8.5g of protein and just 0.2g of sugar per 100ml. That puts it right alongside the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake, for keeping sugar extremely low. The weakest link in our index is the Musashi High Protein Shake Vanilla, bringing 8.2g of protein but spiking to 5.7g of sugar per 100ml. If you need a quick refuel during your supermarket trip, the Shred & Burn option is the one to grab. It keeps the macros tight without the heavy sugar load of its vanilla sibling. Skip the Musashi High Protein Shake Vanilla unless you actually want the extra carbs, as that sugar count climbs fast across a full bottle. Next time you open the fridge at Coles or Woolworths, pick the chocolate bottle to keep your daily sugar intake down.
Ice Break
Owned by dairy giant Lactalis Australia, Ice Break is deeply rooted in the local iced coffee market rather than the sports nutrition space. While they are primarily known for their high-caffeine morning kicks, they have stepped into the functional beverage category with a couple of targeted options. Across the two protein drinks we score in our index, the availability straightforward. You will find these cartons sitting right in the chilled aisles of Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi during your regular supermarket run. On the numbers, the brand leans heavily on its traditional dairy roots, averaging 4.7g of protein per 100ml and a relatively high 8.3g of sugar per 100ml. The standout is the Ice Break Iced Coffee Strong Espresso + Protein, delivering 6g of protein per 100ml alongside 6.6g of sugar per 100ml. This still trails the current category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake. The weakest link is the Ice Break Iced Coffee Triple Shot, dropping to just 3.3g of protein per 100ml while carrying 9.9g of sugar per 100ml. If you want the highest protein overall, Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla leads the pack at 9.9g of protein per 100ml. If you are grabbing an iced coffee from the Coles or supermarket fridge and want a minor macronutrient bump, the Ice Break Iced Coffee Strong Espresso + Protein is the one to pick up. We suggest skipping the Triple Shot if you are strictly tracking macros, as the sugar load heavily outweighs the functional benefits. Ultimately, these are caffeinated milk drinks with a protein bonus, so treat them as a convenient morning energy fix.
UP&GO
Sanitarium's UP&GO practically invented the liquid breakfast in Australia, but their push into sports nutrition is a different beast. We track 2 protein drinks from the brand, both part of their Protein Energize range. You will find them stocked in the cereal aisles of major supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths. They are built for convenience on a busy morning, blending milk proteins with soy and added carbohydrates. The lineup averages 7.2g of protein and 6.5g of sugar per 100ml, leaning heavier on the sweet stuff than modern fitness-focused drinks. The UP&GO Protein Energize Choc Hit 500mL delivers 7.2g of protein per 100ml alongside 6.7g of sugar per 100ml, making it a mid-tier protein vessel. If you are chasing maximum macros, the category leader, EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake, strips the sugar right back. UP&GO relies on added cane sugar and maltodextrin, pushing the carb count up significantly. If you need a familiar breakfast replacement during your next Woolworths run, the UP&GO Protein Energize Vanilla is the better pick with 7.1g of protein per 100ml and 6.2g of sugar per 100ml. However, if you want a post-gym recovery drink, skip this range entirely. For genuine high-protein density, you are better off grabbing an Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla, which leads the category with 9.9g of protein per 100ml. UP&GO works for a morning calorie hit, but falls short as a sports supplement.

The Muscle Nation RTD Protein Shake Strawberry Milkshake is right behind it, also hitting a Protein Score of 10.0 but carrying slightly more sugar at 1.6g per 100ml. Both are strong options if you want a reliable macro profile. Pick the EHP Labs OxyShred Lean Protein RTD Shake if you want the absolute lowest sugar of the top-scoring tier.
- How much protein is in Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla?
- The Optimum Nutrition Pure Pro 50 Vanilla delivers 9.9g of protein per 100ml, tying for the highest protein density in this guide. This bottle leads the pack if sheer protein volume is your main goal. It pairs that high protein level with a very low 0.3g of sugar per 100ml. We score 46 protein drinks, and this specific option consistently tops the charts for raw protein delivery in our analysis.
- Is Rokeby a good protein brand?
- We cannot say it is healthy for you specifically, but the data shows Rokeby produces some of the cleanest protein drinks on the shelf. The Rokeby Protein Smoothie Vanilla Wafer earns a Clean Score of 9.8, the highest in our current guide. It contains 7.1g of protein per 100ml and uses a lactase enzyme for those avoiding lactose. It does hold 3.9g of sugar per 100ml, but the minimal additive profile makes it our top pick for a cleaner ingredient list.
- Is Ice Break Iced Coffee Triple Shot high in protein?
- The Ice Break Iced Coffee Triple Shot contains 3.3g of protein per 100ml, which is on the lower end for dedicated protein drinks. It also carries 9.9g of sugar per 100ml, making it one of the most sugar-heavy options in our index. If you are grabbing a coffee-flavoured drink purely for the macros, skip it. You are better off looking at the Dare Protein No Sugar Added Double Espresso Milk | 2L, which offers 6.0g of protein per 100ml with half the sugar.
- What is the protein content of UP&GO Protein Energize?
- The UP&GO Protein Energize Choc Hit 500mL provides 7.2g of protein per 100ml. While the protein level is decent, shoppers should note it contains 6.7g of sugar per 100ml from added cane sugar and fructose. It is a very common sight on the retail shelf, but there are leaner options available if you want to minimise your sugar intake. If you need a quick grab, it fits the bill, but it will not top our ranking for raw macro efficiency.
- Are Dairy Farmers protein drinks lactose free?
- None of the Dairy Farmers protein drinks in our index contain a lactase enzyme or claim to be lactose free. The Dairy Farmers Protein Smoothie Chocolate, for example, lists milk as an allergen and provides 7.5g of protein per 100ml with 4.6g of sugar per 100ml. If you are looking for lactose-friendly protein drinks, check the label for products like the Pauls PLUS+ Protein Chocolate Flavoured Milk or the Rokeby range, which specifically include a lactase enzyme.
