‘Very easy to hit 50g of protein’
Protein drinks have long been wrapped up in gym culture, extreme fitness goals and all or nothing lifestyles. But for many people, staying active looks a lot more like a lunchtime walk, a couple of weekly workouts, or simply trying to eat a bit better during busy days.
That’s where everyday protein options are coming into their own and why UFIT’s shakes are currently attracting so much attention. Right now, shoppers can pick up UFIT protein shakes for less than Sainsbury’s when buying multipacks online, thanks to a limited-time discount code.
According to NHS guidance, protein plays an important role in maintaining muscle and supporting normal body function as part of a balanced diet. The state that everyone should eat 1.2g – 1.5g of protein for every kg of weight. While many people associate protein with intense training plans, it can also be helpful for those with busy schedules who want something filling and convenient between meals. UFIT, which was founded in 2014, positions itself firmly in that everyday space.

Rather than targeting elite performance, the brand focuses on helping ‘everyone else’, from commuters skipping breakfast to office workers needing a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. UFIT shakes are currently available via the brand’s main page, and when shoppers use the code 20OFF, which is valid until 30 April 2026 at 11:59pm, the price decreases.
The protein shakes are available from UFIT
They are all made with no added sugar (only naturally occurring milk sugars), a fat-free recipe, and added vitamins and minerals to support everyday energy and immune function.
Variety packs have sold out, so the best value is currently found in single-flavour multipacks, which is ideal for those who already know their favourite. For example, there’s the Banana 25g protein milkshake that is down to £14.40 from £18 with the code at checkout.
Shoppers can choose between bottles containing 25g or 50g of protein, depending on how much they want to include in their day. The 50g options are now priced at £17.60 down from £22 with the code at checkout, and the flavours include Strawberry, White Chocolate, Chocolate and Salted Caramel.

The shakes are also suitable for vegetarians and designed to be kept chilled, making them easy to grab on the go.
If shakes aren’t the one for everyone, shoppers could buy a powder – for example, the 500g Breakfast Smoothie mix for £15.99, down from £25.99, from MyProtein. This comes in a range of flavours, including Strawberry and Banana or Mango and Passionfruit, and each one is said to be a ‘delicious blend of protein, carbs and fats, made with added real fruits’.
Holland and Barrett also has the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Double Rich Chocolate for a higher price of £34 for 899g. This has 24 grams of whey protein per serving and is said to support muscle growth and repair.
Shoppers have rated the UFIT products highly, however, as one person said: “These are the best protein drinks in flavours vanilla, chocolate and salted caramel, chocolate being my favourite one. They are an excellent high source of protein and certainly aid my lifting and workout routines daily.” Another wrote: “Very easy to hit 50g of protein early in the morning when you’re short on time.”
One person did have concerns, however, and said: “I found the bottle very difficult to unscrew as the bottle itself is weak.” Another mentioned as part of a longer review that it had chunks, adding: “Flavour was nice but that doesn’t matter when it has chunks in it.”
Overall, most people were pleased, though. Another said: “Far and away the number one vanilla shake I have tried , the rest are all pretty sweet and similar tasting but UFIT 50g is far better quality and tastes so much better.”
