Ghost has three protein styles in the NZ Supps range: a conventional creamy whey shake, a plant-based powder and a clear whey isolate that drinks more like a fruit drink. The best one is the one you will use to fill a real gap in your daily protein. The label and flavour are useful clues, but they do not change that basic decision.
The short answer
- Choose Ghost Whey if you eat dairy and want a familiar, creamy shake. The Choc Chip Cookie tub shows 25 g protein and 26 serves.
- Choose Ghost Vegan Protein if you want a plant-based powder. Ghost has sold more than one Vegan formula and pack size; use the panel for the flavour you choose to compare protein and servings.
- Choose Ghost Clear Whey Isolate if you want a light, juice-style drink. It is still milk-derived whey, despite its clear appearance. The listed Blue Raspberry tub has 25 g protein and 20 serves.
Protein per scoop is only one part of the comparison. Texture, dietary needs and the number of servings you will actually drink matter more than choosing the most dramatic flavour name.
Ghost Whey: a creamy everyday shake
Ghost Whey is the straightforward choice if dairy suits you. Ghost describes its formula as a whey protein blend with digestive enzymes. The NZ range includes Cereal Milk, Peanut Butter Cereal Milk, Milk Chocolate, Choc Chip Cookie and Coffee Ice Cream. Those names tell you more about taste than performance. The reason to buy it is that a scoop gives a convenient protein serving when meals fall short. For a flavour-by-flavour verdict, see which Ghost Whey flavour to pick.
The current Choc Chip Cookie tub shows 25 g protein and 26 servings. Other flavours can have different pack weights and serving counts, so compare their panels when working out cost per serving.
A creamy shake works well with milk, water, oats or yoghurt. It is less convenient if what you want is a cold, thin drink after a hot session. It also makes little sense to pay a flavour premium if a plain whey you already like does the same job. Protein powder is optional when you get enough protein from meals.
Ghost Vegan Protein: the plant-based option
The Ghost Vegan products at NZ Supps are the plant-based choice if you avoid dairy or prefer that style of shake. The range includes Peanut Butter Cereal Milk, Pancake Batter, Banana Pancake and Choc Cereal Milk. Compare the nutrition and serving count on the specific flavour and pack you want.
Ghost's current US site presents Vegan V2 and advertises 25 g or more protein per serve. Ghost Vegan packs have changed over time, and an NZ flavour may show a different amount. The exact tub is more useful than a number copied from another version.
Plant powders often have a thicker mouthfeel than clear whey. That is a preference, not a quality score. If you already use milk in a shake, remember that doing so defeats the dairy-free reason for choosing this line. Water or a plant milk keeps the drink plant-based; the extra ingredients can change its nutrition totals.
Ghost Clear Whey Isolate: light, but still whey
Ghost Clear Whey Isolate uses whey isolate to make a thin, fruit-style protein drink instead of a milkshake. Ghost's official page lists 25 g protein, 1 g carbohydrate and 100 calories per serving for its Clear Whey formula. It recommends mixing with water and allowing the foam to settle. The NZ Blue Raspberry listing is a 20-serve tub.
Clear whey can be easier to reach for when a creamy shake sounds too heavy. The trade-off is a smaller number of servings per tub. Compare cost per listed serving, not the front price alone. Clear Whey is still made from milk, so it does not solve a dairy allergy. It is also not intended to feel like a full meal; add food if you need a meal.

How much plant protein is enough?
The bigger question is how much protein you get across the day. A 2018 meta-analysis of resistance training trials found that the benefit of protein supplementation for fat-free mass gains levelled off around 1.6 g per kg of bodyweight per day. For an 80 kg person, that is roughly 128 g a day from food and supplements combined. One Vegan serving contributes to that total; its exact contribution is on the chosen tub.
Whey and plant blends have different amino acid profiles. Compare the listed protein amount of the actual tubs you are considering, then look at your meals as a whole. A scoop can make a daily target easier to reach; its protein source alone does not decide whether the rest of your diet meets that target.
A sensible way to choose
First decide whether dairy is suitable. If it is not, Vegan is the relevant Ghost line. If dairy is fine, choose between creamy Whey and Clear Whey by how you like to drink protein. Then compare current price per serving using the counts on the exact tubs; the verified Blue Raspberry Clear Whey example has 20 servings and Choc Chip Cookie Whey has 26.
Keep the product's role modest. A protein shake can make a busy day easier; it does not outperform a meal that already supplies the protein you need. Browse the Ghost protein collection for the current flavours and use the Ghost brand story if you want to know why its packaging and flavour collaborations look different.
FAQs
What is the difference between Ghost Whey and Ghost Clear Whey?
Both are milk-derived. Whey is a creamy shake made from a whey blend, while Clear Whey Isolate makes a thinner, fruit-style drink. The named Choc Chip Cookie Whey and Blue Raspberry Clear tubs each show 25 g protein, with 26 and 20 serves respectively.
Is Ghost Clear Whey dairy free?
No. Clear describes the finished drink, not its source. The protein is whey isolate from milk.
How do I compare Ghost Vegan versions?
Ghost has used different Vegan formulas and pack sizes. Its current US Vegan V2 page advertises 25 g or more protein per serve, but that does not establish the amount on every NZ tub. Compare the panel on the exact flavour you choose.
How many servings are in a Ghost protein tub?
The verified Choc Chip Cookie Whey tub has 26 servings, and Blue Raspberry Clear Whey has 20. Ghost Vegan's serving count depends on the specific pack. Read that panel when comparing value.
Which Ghost protein is best after training?
Any of the three can help you meet a daily protein target. Choose by dietary needs and drink texture. If you have already eaten enough protein, timing a shake immediately after training is not essential.
Which Ghost protein is best value?
Value depends on current price, servings and whether you enjoy the drink enough to finish it. Divide the current NZ price by the servings on the exact tub, then compare that with your other protein options.
