Let’s be honest, we love a fully stocked Happy Way pantry as much as anyone, but when your daily routine involves multiple supplements, it can start to feel like a lot to juggle. Remembering what to take, when to take it and making sure you’re actually taking everything can quickly turn your wellness routine into another item on the to-do list.
So we asked ourselves, what if you could get the benefits of whey protein and collagen in one scoop, without adding another step to your daily routine? Sounds pretty good, right?
That’s exactly where our brand new Collagen Whey Protein Blend comes in. We’ve combined whey protein and hydrolysed collagen peptides with prebiotic fibre and digestive enzymes to create a convenient, all-in-one formula that makes getting more out of your daily routine a little easier.
Because your wellness routine doesn’t need to be more complicated to be more effective. Sometimes, it’s simply about finding more convenient ways to get more from the things you’re already doing.
But what’s actually behind the blend, and why do whey and collagen make such a good team? We asked clinical nutritionist Chloe (@chloelouise.innerform) to break down the ingredients and benefits behind our brand new formula.
WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS
So, what makes our Collagen Whey Protein Blend more than just your average protein powder? It’s all about what we’ve packed into that one little scoop.
Meet the ingredients behind the blend…
WHEY PROTEIN
Each serve provides around 19–20g of protein, with whey as the protein source. Whey is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids your body needs to get from food. Protein plays an important role in maintaining and repairing muscle, making it a convenient addition to your daily nutrition, particularly around exercise.
HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN
You’ll also get around 14–15g of hydrolysed collagen peptides per serve. Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the body, including in your skin, joints and connective tissue. Unlike whey, collagen has a different amino acid profile, which is why the two make such a useful pairing rather than simply doing the same thing.
PREBIOTIC FIBRE
Each serve contains 4–5g of prebiotic fibre from a blend of Sunfiber, acacia fibre and green banana resistant starch. Prebiotics are types of fibre that help feed the beneficial bacteria living in your gut, making them a useful addition to a formula designed with your overall wellbeing in mind.
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Digestive enzymes help your body break down the food you consume. That’s why our formula includes enzymes such as lactase and protease. Lactase helps break down lactose, while protease helps break down proteins, helping support the normal digestive process.
HOW DO WHEY & COLLAGEN WORK TOGETHER?
Whey and collagen aren't competing for the same job, they're built for different ones. Whey's amino acid profile is particularly high in leucine, which is what specifically triggers your body's muscle repair process. Collagen's profile looks quite different, it's rich in glycine and proline, the amino acids your body specifically draws on to maintain skin, joints and connective tissue.
This is why pairing the two does more than doubling up on protein. Whey supports the muscle side of things, while collagen supports the structural side, so you're covering two separate processes in the one scoop rather than relying on one protein source to do a job it isn't really built for.
It's also worth knowing that your body prioritises protein for essential functions first, before it gets to things like muscle growth or visible skin and joint support. Having both whey and collagen on board means you're supplying the amino acids for both processes.
A standard whey protein is built around one job: protein. The Happy Way Collagen Whey Protein Blend range takes that same protein base and builds on it, creating a well thought-out formula designed to also support your gut and digestion.
WAYS TO ADD IT TO YOUR DAY
The new Collagen Whey Protein Blend brings four of your favourite Happy Way flavours into a brand new formula, so you can enjoy the same flavours you know and love while getting more from your daily scoop.
- Vanilla works as an easy all-rounder, stirred through yoghurt, oats or blended into a smoothie.
- Chocolate makes a great post-workout shake, or a simple way to satisfy a sweet craving.
- Banana pairs well in a smoothie, especially with extra fruit.
- Coffee can be stirred straight into your morning brew, or blended into a shake.
WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO INCORPORATE IT IN YOUR ROUTINE?
If you already use a protein powder, a collagen powder, or both, Happy Way's brand new Collagen Whey Blend could be worth considering. Instead of adding multiple products to your routine, combining whey protein and collagen into one convenient scoop can help simplify your day while still providing a range of nutritional benefits.
It could be a good fit if you:
-
Want to simplify your routine
If you're currently taking separate protein and collagen supplements, combining them into one scoop can make your routine easier and more convenient, especially on busy days. -
Want more than protein alone
Whey protein provides a source of high-quality protein, while collagen provides a different type of protein with a unique amino acid profile. Combining the two gives you a more varied protein blend rather than relying on one protein source alone. -
Want to support your gut health
The Happy Way formula includes prebiotic fibre which can help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. Getting more fibre into your daily routine can be a simple way to support overall digestive health. -
Want support for your everyday wellness routine
Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the body, including in the skin, bones, joints and connective tissues. Adding collagen to your routine can be one way to complement an overall balanced approach to nutrition and wellbeing. -
Prefer convenience without sacrificing variety
For anyone who likes keeping their supplement routine simple, an all-in-one blend means fewer products to remember, measure and mix each day.
Ultimately, if you’re looking for a convenient way to bring protein, collagen and additional ingredients such as prebiotic fibre into one daily scoop, Happy Way's Collagen Whey Protein Blend may be worth exploring.
THE FINAL TAKEAWAY
At the end of the day, wellness doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. The new Happy Way Collagen Whey Protein Blend is a good example of that: protein, collagen, gut support and digestion, simplified into the one formula. Plus, with Happy Way, you know there's real quality behind it.
