Our take

CleanPlate review

Whey concentrate blend with 13.8 g of milk sugar

Nakpro Perform Whey Protein Concentrate (Unflavoured) is a 1 kg tub of a protein blend of instantised whey protein concentrate and whey powder. One 37 g heaped scoop gives about 26 g of protein. The pack carries the sucralose and non-caloric sweetener badges shared with its flavoured version.

CleanPlate scores it BC3. The B for nutrition reflects 70 g protein and natural calcium per 100 g. The C for ingredients reflects mostly refined or industrial ingredients (led by instantized whey protein concentrate and whey powder), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (340 mg per 100 g) and calories (382 kcal per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Whey Protein Concentrate”

    Holds

    The blend names instantised whey protein concentrate first.

  • On the pack

    “CONTAINS NATURALLY OCCURRING SUGARS”

    Holds

    Total sugars are 13.8 g per 100 g with 0 g added, from the whey powder.

  • On the pack

    “Contains Sucralose”

    Be careful

    A sweetener badge is printed although the unflavoured list has none, so it appears to be shared across flavours.

  • On the pack

    “NATURALLY OCCURRING AMINO ACIDS”

    Holds

    The amino acids come from the whey.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Protein blend (instantised whey protein concentrate, whey powder 100%).

Per 100 g: 382 kcal, 5.28 g fat of which 2.99 g saturated, 13.8 g sugar of which 0 g added, 70 g protein, 340 mg sodium. The list prints Whey Powder (100%), which is read as the percentage of the whole blend, not of the whey powder alone. The protein balance (70 g per 100 g) shows the concentrate must be about 85% of the blend, so the shares are hand-estimated and the score is provisional. Trans fat (0.17 g per 100 g) is not counted because whey is the only fat source.

Ingredients to watch

  • Milk sugarWorth watching

    13.8 g of total sugars per 100 g, all lactose from the whey powder.

  • Blend not itemisedWorth watching

    The concentrate and whey powder shares are not declared, so the split is estimated.

  • SodiumWorth watching

    340 mg per 100 g, about 126 mg a scoop.

  • AdditivesFine

    None in the list, and no flavour.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Whey powder adds protein"

Whey powder is mostly lactose and carries about 12 g of protein per 100 g.

Myth: "The sucralose badge means it is sweetened"

The unflavoured list has no sweetener; the badge looks shared with the flavoured packs.
