VoltraAlmarai and Nada protein milk: protein, calories and sugar per bottle
Almarai's Muscle Milk and Nada's Power Milk have the most protein, 40 g a bottle; Almarai's Protein Milk has 34 g in 400 ml, and Nada's Protein Milk about 30 g in 320 ml [1] [2] [3]. Per calorie, Almarai Muscle Milk plain gives the most: 40 g of protein for 232 kcal and 14 g of sugar, against about 370 kcal and 53 g of sugar for the same protein in Nada's Power Milk (calculated) [1] [2]. Most of Nada's own product pages list figures that don't add up, so for its 320 ml bottles we used photos of the labels and left the other products out.
How we checked
We took each bottle's figures from the maker's own product page: Almarai's [1] and Nada's [2]. Nada's pages for its 320 ml Protein Milk list figures that contradict themselves, so for those bottles we used clear photos of the nutrition label on Open Food Facts, a public database people fill in from packs [3]. We then checked every product two ways: protein × 4 + carbohydrate × 4 + fat × 9 should come within about 10% of the stated calories, and the per-100 ml figures times the bottle size should match the protein printed on the front. Products that failed either check aren't in the table; they're listed further down with what doesn't add up. We didn't change any maker's number.
Protein per 100 kcal is the grams of protein divided by the calories, times 100 (calculated): it shows how much of a bottle's calories come with protein.
Figures marked † are calculated from the maker's or the label's per-100 ml figures. Recipes and labels change, so check your bottle; we read all of these on 6 October 2026.

Per bottle, sorted by protein per 100 kcal (calculated). † calculated from the per-100 ml figures. Almarai states 34 g and 40 g of protein per bottle on its pages [1]; Nada's packs say 30 g and 40 g [2] [3]. Nada's online shop lists the chocolate Power Milk as out of stock [2].
Flavours that differ
Almarai's three 34 g flavours are close: 71 kcal per 100 ml for strawberry banana, 72 for vanilla and 73 for chocolate, so 284 to 292 kcal a bottle (calculated) [1]. Its Muscle Milk is where the flavour matters: chocolate has 68 kcal and 5.5 g of sugar per 100 ml against 58 kcal and 3.5 g for plain, so 40 kcal and 8 g of sugar more per bottle, for the same 40 g of protein (calculated) [1].
Nada's 320 ml chocolate label lists 87 kcal and 12.5 g of sugar per 100 ml, against 77 to 78 kcal and 9.7 g for strawberry and vanilla [3]. That's about 30 kcal and 9 g of sugar more per bottle for the same protein (calculated). Nada's Power Milk vanilla and chocolate pages list the same panel [2].
Nada's figures that don't add up
These Nada products aren't in the table because the figures on Nada's own pages don't agree with each other. We haven't changed any of them; this is what each page says [2].
- Protein Milk 320 ml, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (website). Nada's pages say 27 g of protein a bottle and 60 kcal per 100 ml, but their own protein, carbohydrate and fat come to 80 to 84 kcal (calculated); Nada's Arabic pages list 85, 80 and 84 kcal. The bottles on sale say 30 g, and their labels add up, so the table uses the labels [3].
- Protein Plain Milk and Protein Dates Milk, 320 ml. The English pages list 60 kcal per 100 ml, while their protein, carbohydrate and fat come to about 69 and 108 kcal (calculated); the Arabic pages list 69 and 94 kcal for the same bottles. The English plain page also says "68g protein" next to 27 g, and the English dates page lists 1.5 g of fat next to a 0% fat claim. With Nada's two pages disagreeing and no current label we could check, they're left out.
- Protein Alphonso Mango, 320 ml. The English panel lists 30 g of carbohydrate and 0.52 mg of protein per 100 ml; the Arabic page lists 74 kcal and 8.5 g of protein. Left out.
- Coffee: Protein Milk 320 ml and Power Milk 425 ml. Both pages carry the same panel: 87 kcal per 100 ml, while its 9.5 g of protein and 10 g of carbohydrate come to about 78 (calculated). The 320 ml page also says "about 4 servings per container", which fits a 425 ml bottle. The pack pictures say 30 g and 40 g of protein. Nada says both contain caffeine but doesn't say how much. Left out.
- Power Milk strawberry, 425 ml. 77 kcal per 100 ml, against about 88 from its protein, carbohydrate and fat (calculated). The pack picture says 40 g of protein. Left out.
Other protein milks we couldn't include
- NADEC High Protein milk, 350 ml. NADEC lists plain, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry bottles, but nadec.com blocked our requests, and Open Food Facts has only an older 250 ml NADEC protein drink, so we couldn't check the figures.
- Almarai Protein Milk, coffee. It isn't on Almarai's current protein milk list, and its page is empty [1]. A label photo uploaded to Open Food Facts in August 2025 lists 17 g of protein, 154 kcal and 19.9 g of sugar per 200 ml, 11 g of it added [4]; if you have a bottle, go by its label.
- Almarai lactose-free protein milk. Its old link now opens Almarai's protein milk list, and Almarai describes every protein milk above as lactose-free [1].
- Nada High Protein, 1 litre. These are organic soy drinks with 5 g (plain) and 5.2 g (vanilla) of protein per 100 ml [2]: plant drinks in a carton, not single bottles.
Per 100 ml or per bottle: reading the label
Saudi Arabia's Food and Drug Authority says the nutrition facts cover one serving, and that one product may hold more than one serving [5]. On these bottles:
- Per 100 ml is what Almarai's website and Nada's labels give. A 400 ml Almarai bottle is four times the panel; a 320 ml Nada bottle is 3.2 times, which its label calls about 3 servings [1] [3].
- Per 200 ml is what Almarai's older labels used, with 2 servings per bottle, as the label photos on Open Food Facts show [4].
- Per bottle is the big number on the front: 30 g, 34 g or 40 g of protein. None of the panels we read gives the calories and sugar for the whole bottle, which is why the table works them out.
How a bottle fits your day's protein
How much protein you need depends on your weight and goal; our guide to how much protein you need a day has the numbers. For people who lift, the International Society of Sports Nutrition suggests 1.4 to 2.0 g per kg of body weight a day, and 20 to 40 g at a time every 3 to 4 hours [6]. In the largest meta-analysis, muscle gains levelled off at about 1.6 g per kg [7]. For someone who weighs 70 kg, that's about 112 g a day (calculated), and one bottle gives:
- Nada Protein Milk, 320 ml: 30.4 g†, about 27% of it
- Almarai Protein Milk, 400 ml: 34 g, about 30%
- Almarai Muscle Milk or Nada Power Milk: 40 g, about 36%
Each bottle gives about 30 to 40 g, inside the 20 to 40 g the ISSN suggests per sitting [6]. A bottle also adds 232 to 370 kcal (calculated), so it counts toward the day's calories as well.
In Voltra
To log a bottle, open the Eat tab and tap Barcode. Voltra looks the barcode up in Open Food Facts, so a bottle is found only if someone has added it there. Almarai's vanilla protein milk, barcode 6281007061278, comes up as Vanilla Protein Milk with 76 kcal and 8.5 g of protein per 100 ml; set the amount to 400 ml for the whole bottle and that's 304 kcal and 34 g of protein (calculated) [4]. That entry's label photo is an older label, with 9.5 g of added sugar per 200 ml; Almarai's page now lists 72 kcal per 100 ml and no added sugar [1], so check it against your bottle.
If a bottle isn't found, tap Enter it manually and copy the label, or tap Describe and type what you had, for example Nada protein milk, chocolate, 320 ml. Voltra also sets you a daily protein target: the Eat tab shows the day's protein against it in grams, and you can change it.
