Last updated 17/01/2024

All types of cow's milk are a source of high-quality protein, which means they contain all the essential amino acids required by the body.

Milk contains on average 3.5g of protein per 100mL or 8.8g in a cup (250mL).

Protein content will vary slightly from brand to brand, and some products have been formulated to be higher in protein.
