Description
Most protein powders were designed for performance and not much else. For women managing hormonal conditions, navigating the changes that come with perimenopause, or simply wanting a protein that works with their body rather than against it, a standard formula is rarely enough. Women’s Protein was formulated specifically to address that gap.
Protein with nutrients that work with your hormones
Women’s Protein delivers 22.2g of high-quality New Zealand whey protein isolate alongside a targeted combination of nutrients most protein powders do not consider. The result is a formula designed to support blood sugar stability, hormonal balance and bone health alongside your daily protein goals, with just 97 calories and 1.0g of carbohydrates per serve.
What each 30g serve contains:
- 22.2g protein from 83% New Zealand whey protein isolate, supporting satiety, healthy body composition and sustained energy through the day
- 3.0g inositol, a clinically studied dose for insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance, particularly relevant for women with PCOS, insulin resistance or blood sugar fluctuations
- 500mcg methylated folate in its active, bioavailable form so your body can actually use it, rather than the synthetic folic acid most supplements contain
- 300mg calcium per serve, supporting bone density at a stage when protecting it matters
- 100mcg chromium to further support glucose metabolism and insulin function
- Only 1.0g carbs and 0.4g sugar per serve, naturally sweetened, no added sugar
- 0.3g lactose per serve, genuinely low lactose, not just labelled that way
- Gluten not detected on testing, suitable for coeliacs
Who it’s designed for
Women’s Protein is a great fit for women managing PCOS, insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, women in perimenopause or menopause looking for targeted nutritional support alongside adequate protein, and women who want a clean daily protein that goes beyond just hitting a protein number. If you have found that generic protein powders no longer seem to work with your body the way you’d like, this formula was designed with that in mind.
Not sure yet? Our 30g sample packs are $5.99 plus shipping. Every purchase also includes a free mini protein recipe e-book, available from your order confirmation email or through My Account.
Important: Women’s Protein is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the inositol and chromium doses. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, our Digestive Protein with Pre and Probiotics may be a better fit, though we’d suggest a quick chat with your GP or APD first.

I love the flavour of the protein powder, it doesn’t upset my stomach or bloated and it mixes really well with banana, raspberries and peanut butter plus ice. I recommend this product top five 😃
Yasmin Ramage (verified owner) –
I struggle with sweet protein powders but this is amazing! Not sweet, no after taste and unbelievably silky and creamy. Definitely the best protein powder I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried many. Really fast postage too. So excited to have found my new favourite.
Sarah Gibson (verified owner) –
I cannot recommend this product high enough, I honestly wish I could give it more stars! The texture and taste are spot on, there’s no horrible after taste and I genuinely look forward to having it just on its own with cold water as a side to my breakfast. Even as someone who can’t tolerate much dairy it doesn’t upset my stomach at all. I started off with one bag and quickly bought 3 more to stock up with in the pantry!! Thank you so much for creating such a great product, cannot wait until more flavours come out.

The women’s protein powder arrived promptly and was beautifully packaged. It tastes absolutely delicious and gives a lovely flavour to milk and cacao drinks, and also porridge. It hasn’t upset my stomach at all and I would highly recommend!

Jodie Derrick (verified owner) –
I was so excited to try this protein and It didn’t disappoint. It tastes amazing on its own or in a smoothie. It Doesn’t upset my stomach or make me feel bloated like other proteins I’ve tried. This is your sign to just add to cart and give it a try 🩷
Louise Shaw (verified owner) –
I am onto my third order, lovely packaging, quick postage and a beautiful light taste. I love the lower carb count and leaves no bloating at all. The tastiest protein powder I’ve had with no aftertaste! Reassuring being designed by such ethical, qualified dietitian’s. Absolutely love !!!
Sharon Savarino (verified owner) –
I think I have found my holy grail of protein powders and I have tried a lot! In the past I have resorted to purchasing unflavoured powders because of the weird flavour profile and aftertastes, but I have to say, this vanilla flavour is great. This one adds just enough flavour and sweetness to my oats and protein drinks, and because its low lactose, I don’t have any bloating at all. If you’re after a quality product with a great taste, then look no further!
laraannepatterson (verified owner) –
There are so many protein powders on the market, it is confusing to know which one to choose. This product is made with quality ingredients by 2 ladies who know their stuff! I started listening to their podcast 6 months ago and I have learned so much from them. I add this protein powder to oats or smoothies to up my protein intake which is important for women as we age. It tastes great!
Joanne Wheaton (verified owner) –
This protein powder was recommended to me by my personal trainer. Getting the required protein in menopause was a real challenge and I had been hesitant to introduce a suppliment as some have ingredients that I don’t want to ingest. A serve of Nourish Women’s Protein is a great start to my day and I feel so much better knowing it has een developed by dietitians.
My favourite way to enjoy my high protein start to my day is to add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Sasha Claughton (verified owner) –
I absolutely love this protein powder! I have it as a smoothie in the mornings with some added Greek yogurt and it’s so delicious. This same smoothie is also perfect poured over some Weetbix for a super quick, high protein breakfast before work. It’s great to boost my protein in the morning to keep me fuller for longer as I head into a busy work day. Thanks for a great product guys!
Joanne Irving (verified owner) –
Absolutely brilliant protein powder! Tastes great and such a clean product. I add it to my greek yogurt for breakfast and it helps me meet my daily protein target. Congratulations on creating a fantastic product, can’t wait for the Hot Chocolate.

I’m into my second order of this protein powder and can honestly say for just the taste alone im converted. I’m a long time follower of Susie and Leanne’s social media accounts and trust their nutrition and diet advice so using Nourish is a no brainer for me.As a 56 year old menopausal woman I understand the importance of getting enough protein into my diet daily so having a scoop each day helps me to hit my protein requirements. I enjoy it in a shake with some kale,spinach and berries or in an overnight chia soaked pudding. But my absolute favourite way to enjoy it is mixed with some Greek yoghurt, a serve of nuts and seeds, and a banana . Well done ladies for producing a great tasting, nutritious powder!
kathy.l.razon (verified owner) –
This is one of the best tasting protein powders I have ever used (15+ years) and it’s also super smooth! I’ve been able to use it in multiple recipes without any after taste. Huge fan and well done ladies!
Lauren Scott (verified owner) –
I have never been big on protein powders; a taste thing and cost but when i heard about this through the podcast, i knew i had to try it – I love this powder! It mixes well and tastes amazing. I loved the recipe ideas that came with it as well, such a nice addition. Thank you for creating this, looking forward to more products!
mahalialodge (verified owner) –
I’ve tried so many protein powders over the years and this is by far the best. Mild taste, great texture and never leaves me bloated like some other protein powders have. I’ll never buy another protein powder again!
Janey (verified owner) –
Designed by Dietitians Protein Powder is five stars, it tastes delicious and mixes well (not gritty), plus knowing the care and nutrition knowledge that Leanne and Susie put into creating this product, I really trust it too. This is now my go-to ingredient in my breakfast smoothie. Thank you!
clareg (verified owner) –
Love this product. Tastes great, mixes well into smoothies and into oats. Other protein powders have upset my stomach, however with this product I have had no problems at all. Will continue to order as I trust the product and the Dietitians who have created it. ❤️

Thanks Susie and Leanne for this amazing product – I can’t recommend it highly enough! I mix it with my overnight oats and enjoy it every day, fan for life here. Beautifully packaged and arrives promptly :)

I have tried many protein powders and love Nourish.
It is low in calories and carbohydrates and has a lot more protein in it than other powders. It mixes in well and tastes great.
I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Joanne Van Homrigh (verified owner) –
My first experience with a protein powder supplement. This one is great. I add to yogurt and porridge with great success and taste. I’d highly recommend.
Tanya Evans (verified owner) –
I love this product. It is the only protein powder I have found that doesn’t upset my stomach in any way. The flavour is so good, not overly sweet at all. It mixes in well with my smoothie or my porridge so I get my day off to a great start with good dose of protein.
Clare Harris (verified owner) –
I have tried many different protein powders over the years as I love making a smoothie with it for my daily breakfast. When I heard Susie and Leanne had made their own I was sold! I ordered immediately it was available and have been using every day since. Its gentle formulation means no tummy bloating which I have found with other brands. It’s comparable in price to other brands so it was an easy choice. I follow their podcasts every week and love their no nonsense science backed approach to nutrition. Can’t wait to try the other new products in the works. Thanks Susie and Leanne.

This is the first time both myself and my 16 year old daughter have used a Protein Powder and we absolutely love it. You can use it in so many different recipes and add it to a number of foods to get you over the required protein intake for a healthy diet. I highly receommend it. Thank you
Georgette Iliopoulos (verified owner) –
It’s the best protein powder I’ve ever used! Bought this so many times!
Karen Burns (verified owner) –
I buy this protein powder as I wanted to try one. I opted for the Designed by Dietitians product as I trust both of these dieticians and believe they have professional integrity. I listen weekly to their podcast. I use the powder in smoothies and it has a lovely taste. I am going to start adding it into oats as well. Highly recommended and is designed for women by women who understand their nutritional needs across the lifespan
ingaclancy (verified owner) –
Have ordered both protein powders a couple of times, they always promptly and beautifully packaged. It tastes absolutely delicious I mix a scoop with natural yogurt and hand full of berries into a jar and take to work for morning tea, it’s a creamy and delicious treat. Both powders taste great, I wish the pre and probiotic formula was fortified with calcium.
aksarret (verified owner) –
I love this protein powder. It’s flavour is subtle and lovely. I can use it in my son’s morning milkshake to boost his protein intake and he likes it also (and he is fussy with his taste preferences).
barrett.te (verified owner) –
As a dietitian, I’m delighted to recommend this product to clients – tastes great, and I love the nutrient profile. Great added to chia breakfast puddings, smoothies and overnight oats. My new go-to!
Gillian Barsanti (verified owner) –
Beautifully flavoured protein. I mix my protein with greek yoghurt in the morning and this mixed beautifully without any strange aftertaste. It was very yum and tasted really natural. Great in smoothies too. Ill be changing from my old brand to this. This protein has such a better nutritional profile from my usual. Im converted!
Anna Pinto (verified owner) –
I really love the taste of this protein powder. I love that it doesn’t taste overly sweet. I like to use this protein powder with Greek yoghurt, oats, skim milk and blueberries for a quick breakfast option. Can’t wait to try the choc banana smoothie recipe provided in booklet. So happy with my purchase.
Tammy Friend (verified owner) –
Mixes well and has a nice subtle flavour. I will be coming back for more 😊
Esabel Thinnakone (verified owner) –
A smooth texture with subtle sweetness. I tried it in my Nutribullet only to realise it aerates a lot. You’ll want to leave at least 1.5cm beneath the maximum fill line to avoid spills whilst it is blending. Now I mix it with water using a fork to avoid air so I can get it down as quickly as possible. I would buy it again.
amanda.white (verified owner) –
LOVE the taste of this protein powder. I enjoy it with water or in the Overnight Berry Bircher recipe from the RESET NOURISH BURN book. Would definitely buy again!
Morag Seward (verified owner) –
Absolutely delicious. The best flavoured protein powder I’ve ever tasted. It has no unpleasant after-taste and mixes well in smoothies . It is also delicious on its own in water.
chocoholik86 (verified owner) –
Delicious protein powder with no nasty chemical after taste from artificial sweeteners. I love how it mixes it in beautifully to yogurt. This has now become my go-to protein powder!
Clare Brinkley (verified owner) –
Brand new to this product but am absolutely loving it! It’s light and easy to drink, unlike other powders I’ve tried. And the taste is deliciously vanilla-ey, without the overpowering sweetness. This has become my go-to in the morning – just the powder in water and off I go.
Kelly Forsyth (verified owner) –
This has been the first time that I have purchased protein powder. I am loving the taste & enjoying using it in the recipes that the Nourish team have supplied. I highly recommend!!!
Tracy GOWEN (verified owner) –
I stopped using protein powders about about twenty years ago when they tasted blah. I have been skeptical about using them since, but now that I am over 50 it is hard to eat enough protein to maintain muscle mass. I have been using this powder for two weeks and I love the taste. Even more, I love how it stops me from feeling hungry and seems to just switch off that part of my brain. Not skeptical anymore and recommend this product.
Rosalind Herron (verified owner) –
Such a fine protein powder that tastes great! The vanilla flavour is not too overpowering and blends well in chia puddings and smoothies. I know I can trust the nutritional makeup of the powder as the wonderful Dieticians have created this product!
Claire Bassingthwaighte (verified owner) –
I usually can’t tolerate protein powders. I find the flavor disgusting but this one is great. I have tried it in smoothies and also just mixed with protein yoghurt and blueberries for a breakfast that doesn’t make me feel bloated but fills me up and the taste is barely noticeable. This is the best protein powder I’ve ever had
maeve22 (verified owner) –
This is the first protein powder I have tried and I loved it! As a dietitian myself, I love that it is dietitian-designed and is fortified with important nutrients for womens’ health. I love mixing it with almond milk and fruit for a post-workout smoothie to make sure I’m meeting my protein goals.

I have not previously used a protein powder as the variety of powders available was huge and seemed a little confusing/overwhelming when I didn’t know a lot about the difference between types of protein powders. And many have significant marketing strategies to try and attract buyers but I questioned their validity, ethics and science behind the claims. However, about18months ago I began listening to the Nutrition Couch podcast because I value clinical experts and respect their knowledge and experience to guide my health/wellbeing decisions. I quickly learnt that perhaps I should consider taking protein powder given I was almost 50! I was immediately excited to hear Leanne & Susie had developed a protein powder of the highest quality and specific for women’s needs. I cannot recommend the Nourish Protein Powder highly enough. The taste is delicious, mixed with water alone or mixed into yoghurt – I mix it with YoPro vanilla or natural Greek yoghurt. It has become a staple for me that I incorporate into my daily diet. Having it as a drink with water is a great mid morning snack, and mixed with yoghurt in the afternoon is great to beat sugar cravings. I have recommended this product to several friends and my sister is now also using it.
Kasey C –
Have listened to the ladies for years and thought about taking it but then my doctor suggested I do it for my family history of diabetes and I am so glad I ordered it, it is so delicious. I look forward to adding it to my morning smoothie or just taking with water and ice after my walk. Will be re-ordering as I am nearly out and it helps reduce my sugar cravings too.

The best tasting protein I have ever tried and I have tried a lot, will continue to buy and like that it helps my hormones too.
Ainslie (verified owner) –
I’ve been really happy with this protein powder. This is the first protein powder I have tried and I spent quite a lot of time researching to find something that was good quality, a reasonable price and didn’t taste awful. (Have heard from many friends how awful protein powder can taste.) I was very pleased with the dbd Nourish protein powder – the nutritional quality is there and I’ve been using it in fruit smoothies, and the taste is totally fine. It’s been a great find – I have reordered and plan to continue!

Sharon S –
I recently purchased the Nourish Women’s Protein Powder and both Vitality and Pure Creatine Powders from Designed by Dietitians and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The products taste fantastic, blend effortlessly, and you can genuinely tell they’re made with pure, high-quality ingredients—none of the filler-laden formulas you often find elsewhere. I really appreciate the transparency and trust this brand inspires.
On top of that, the customer service has been exceptional—friendly, prompt, and incredibly helpful. It’s clear this is a company that genuinely values its customers. I’ll definitely be a returning customer!
renaemacheda (verified owner) –
I recently purchased the Nourish Women’s Protein Powder as I am trying to get more protein into my diet. I had been reluctant to order, as other powders I had tried had not tasted good and left a chalky aftertaste. I have followed Susie for a while now and thought if someone could come up with a healthy, tasty option, it would be her! The Nourish powder is delicious and is perfect in my morning smoothie.
f_jubb (verified owner) –
This is the best protein powder I have ever used. I cannot stand the synthetic taste of many of the gym brands. This is light and not sticky, high in protein and delicious. So glad I came across this product as I was close to giving up finding one that met my standards!

This protein powder is my favourite. I have tried so many protein powder brands and researched so much for protein powders with a clean ingredient list and great nutrition table with low calories, low carbs, low sugars, low fats…and this product meets ticks all the boxes (perfect pefect all rounder) developed by 2 ladies who care about women’s health and know what most women want when it comes to healthy lifestyle living. Finally a protein powder I can drink, enjoy, feel great after consumption with no bloating nor sick feeling of fullness…loving it, definitely repurchasing again and again
