Stacker2 Daily Protein
What is Daily Protein by Stacker2 Europe?
Daily Protein is Stacker2 Europe's everyday protein shake, built around a four-source protein matrix that combines milk protein powder, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate and whey protein isolate β delivering 21g of protein per 33.3g serving when mixed with water, or up to 28g when prepared with skimmed milk. The formula is designed for daily use by active individuals who want a clean, great-tasting, high-protein shake that dissolves perfectly and works at every moment of the day.
The protein matrix in Daily Protein is genuinely distinctive. Rather than relying on a single whey fraction, it combines four complementary dairy protein sources that work together to provide both fast and sustained amino acid delivery. Whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate contribute fast-absorbing fractions with high essential amino acid content. Milk protein powder and milk protein concentrate add a casein-dominated slow-release component that extends amino acid availability beyond the typical 1 to 2-hour window of whey-only products. This multi-phase delivery profile makes Daily Protein effective both post-workout and between meals.
The formula is further enriched with free-form amino acids β L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine added separately to the matrix. These free-form BCAAs are not bound within the protein structure and therefore enter the bloodstream faster than protein-bound amino acids, providing an additional immediate anabolic signal alongside the protein matrix. Glycine is included as a flavour enhancer and contributes to the formula's natural mineral richness.
Each serving also provides a natural source of key minerals from the dairy protein matrix: 368mg calcium, 470mg phosphorus, 285mg potassium, 28mg magnesium and 1.4mg zinc β naturally occurring from the milk protein sources.
Available in 908g (27 servings) and 2000g (60 servings) formats across four flavours: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream.
Four protein sources. Free-form BCAAs. Natural minerals. Daily performance.

How Daily Protein by Stacker2 Europe supports your objectives
𧬠Quadruple protein matrix for multi-phase amino acid delivery The combination of milk protein powder, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate and whey protein isolate creates a protein source with multiple absorption rates. The whey fractions deliver amino acids rapidly post-workout; the milk protein fractions extend availability for hours, supporting anti-catabolism between meals and overnight. This multi-source approach is more complete than single-source whey products for athletes who want sustained amino acid coverage throughout the day.
πͺ Free-form BCAAs for immediate anabolic signalling L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine are added to the formula as free-form amino acids β not bound within the protein structure but dissolved freely in the matrix. Free-form amino acids bypass the digestion step required for protein-bound amino acids and enter the bloodstream more rapidly, providing an additional and faster anabolic signal at the moment of consumption. Per serving, the formula provides 4g of BCAAs total, with 2g of leucine.
π₯ Up to 28g of protein per serving with skimmed milk The standard 21g per serving (in water) increases to 28g when Daily Protein is prepared with 210ml of skimmed milk. This is a meaningful practical tip for athletes targeting higher daily protein intakes: using milk as the base adds approximately 7g of additional dairy protein with minimal extra calories, maximising the protein return on each serving.
π¬ Natural source of minerals from dairy proteins Each serving provides naturally occurring minerals from the dairy protein matrix: 368mg calcium (46% NRV) for bone health and muscle contraction, 470mg phosphorus for energy metabolism, 285mg potassium for muscle function and fluid balance, 28mg magnesium for energy metabolism and protein synthesis, and 1.4mg zinc for immune function and testosterone metabolism. These mineral contributions require no separate supplementation.
πΏ Natural bioactive compounds from whey Stacker2 Europe's Daily Protein contains natural lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin, natural antioxidants, natural immunoglobulins and natural growth factors β bioactive compounds naturally present in whey protein that are preserved through careful processing. These compounds contribute to immune support, antioxidant protection and the anabolic environment needed for muscle growth and repair.
π― Goal guide
ποΈ Mass gain: 1 to 2 servings/day. Post-workout and between meals to support caloric surplus protein targets.
π₯ Weight loss / cutting: 1 to 2 servings/day. Zero added sugar, low fat, high protein for lean mass preservation.
βοΈ Body recomposition: 1 to 2 servings/day. Multi-phase protein for sustained amino acid coverage throughout the day.
Serving suggestion
Mix 2 level scoops (approximately 33.3g) with 210ml of cold water. Shake for approximately 5 seconds until fully dissolved. Consume immediately. For maximum results, take 1 or 2 servings daily. For an extra protein boost (up to 28g per serving), replace water with 210ml of cold skimmed milk.
Best times to enjoy it
ποΈ Post-workout (primary window) Consume within 30 to 45 minutes after training. The whey fractions in the protein matrix deliver amino acids rapidly during the peak post-exercise anabolic window, while the milk protein fractions begin sustaining amino acid levels for the hours that follow.
π Morning A high-protein start to the day breaks the overnight fast, provides the amino acids needed for muscle protein protection and supports satiety through the morning. Preparing with milk at breakfast adds natural calcium and extra protein.
βοΈ Between meals The multi-source protein matrix makes Daily Protein particularly effective between meals as an amino acid top-up. The milk protein component extends coverage for 3 to 4 hours, bridging the gap between food intakes.
π Before sleep (optional) The casein fraction present in the milk protein components provides a degree of overnight amino acid release, making an evening serving a practical option for athletes concerned about overnight catabolism.
Daily protein target reminder
Current sports nutrition science recommends 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day for active individuals. Each serving of Daily Protein contributes 21g (in water) or 28g (in skimmed milk) toward this daily target. For vegan athletes, targeting the upper end (1.8 to 2.2g/kg) is advised.
| Body weight | Min. target (1.6g/kg) | Max. target (2.2g/kg) | Servings needed* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55 kg | 88g/day | 121g/day | 1 serving covers 21-28g |
| 65 kg | 104g/day | 143g/day | 1 serving covers 21-28g |
| 75 kg | 120g/day | 165g/day | 1 serving covers 21-28g |
| 85 kg | 136g/day | 187g/day | 1 serving covers 21-28g |
| 95 kg | 152g/day | 209g/day | 1 serving covers 21-28g |
*Total daily protein should come from a combination of Daily Protein and whole food sources.
Goal-specific guidance
For mass gain: Use 1 to 2 servings of Daily Protein per day β one post-workout and one between meals β alongside a caloric surplus diet rich in whole food protein sources. The multi-source protein matrix ensures amino acid availability is maintained across the day and overnight, supporting continuous muscle protein synthesis.
For weight loss and cutting: With zero added sugar, zero fat and only 120 kcal per 33.3g serving (in water), Daily Protein delivers an excellent protein-to-calorie ratio for a caloric deficit context. The milk protein component contributes casein-derived satiety that helps manage appetite between meals. Prepare with water rather than milk to minimise total caloric contribution per serving.
π Sport Nutrition "Did you know?"
Daily Protein contains natural lactoferrin β a bioactive glycoprotein naturally present in milk and whey that plays a role far beyond basic nutrition. Lactoferrin is a key component of the innate immune system: it binds iron in the gut, depriving pathogenic bacteria of the iron they need to proliferate, and directly inhibits several classes of viruses and bacteria. Athletes who train at high volume are among the most susceptible to minor illness due to the suppression of mucosal immunity following intense exercise. The preservation of natural lactoferrin in Daily Protein's carefully processed protein matrix adds an immune support dimension that processed proteins or free amino acid supplements cannot provide.

Q1 β What makes Daily Protein different from a standard whey protein? The key distinction is the four-source protein matrix. Standard whey proteins use one or two whey fractions (concentrate and/or isolate) with absorption occurring in 1 to 2 hours. Daily Protein adds milk protein powder and milk protein concentrate β both casein-dominant sources β that release amino acids over 3 to 4 hours. This multi-phase release profile makes Daily Protein more versatile than a whey-only product: it works post-workout (whey fractions) and as a sustained inter-meal or evening shake (milk protein fractions). The added free-form BCAAs and natural bioactive compounds (lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, alpha-lactalbumin) further differentiate it from basic whey concentrates.
Q2 β Why does the protein content jump to 28g when mixed with skimmed milk? Skimmed milk contains approximately 3.4g of protein per 100ml β primarily casein (80%) and whey (20%). At 210ml, this adds approximately 7g of additional protein to each serving, bringing the total from 21g (water) to 28g (skimmed milk). For athletes who can tolerate dairy, mixing with skimmed milk is a simple and economical way to maximise protein intake per serving. The calcium, potassium and other minerals from the milk also add to the naturally mineral-rich profile of the shake.
Q3 β Is Daily Protein suitable for people with lactose intolerance? No. The formula contains milk protein powder, whey protein concentrate and milk protein concentrate, all of which contain lactose in varying amounts. Individuals with clinical lactose intolerance should not use this product without medical advice. The whey protein isolate fraction is very low in lactose, but the other protein sources are not lactose-free.
Q4 β Does Daily Protein contain gluten? Yes. Wheat flour is included as a thickener to achieve the product's creamy, smooth texture. This means Daily Protein is not suitable for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance. Always check the current product label before purchase if gluten is a concern.
Q5 β What is the difference between the 908g and 2000g formats? The formula is identical in both formats. The 2000g format provides approximately 60 servings versus 27 in the 908g format and is more economical per serving for athletes who use Daily Protein consistently as their primary protein source. The 908g format is ideal for first-time buyers testing a new flavour or for athletes who rotate between flavours more frequently.
