Protein supplements have become the need of the hour today. But, the prices of supplements are away to high. Not everyone can afford to invest in them. So, does that mean that they need to compromise on their proteins?
NO!
Here is how you can make whey protein at home and get your daily dose of protein!
- Choose any milk product like yoghurt/curd, paneer (cottage cheese) or buttermilk.
- The curd is the easiest option available at home but you can choose any products mentioned above.
- Take a bowl and put a strainer on the top of it. (Strainer can be big or small)
- Take a small muslin cloth and place it over the strainer.
- Put 250 grammes of curd on the strainer and cover it with a plastic wrap. Keep it in the refrigerator overnight for 6-8 hours.
- Remove the bowl which was kept overnight. The solid part which is there on the top of the strainer is called as curd cheese and the liquid which will be collected in the bowlis called as home whey protein.
The shelf life of homemade whey protein: –
- If you refrigerate homemade whey protein, it can last up to 6 months.
- It can be stored in airtight bottles or glass jars.
- It is ideal to make a whey protein batch for a month and then prepare another fresh stock.
Nothing goes waste! You can use the curd cheese as well…
- Curd cheese can be mostly commonly used as a cheese dip or cheese spread. You can add milk according to your requirements. If you want to make a dense dip then milk should be less and vice versa.
- This curd cheese which is obtained has healthy fats which are required by the body.
- Apart from these dips, you can use curd cheese in baking cakes as well.

Naman says
Hey Trishla nice one it is…..but will u pls tell me how much grams you mean by a cup of whey here….?
Trishala Chopra says
Hi Naman!
Thanks ?
Well if you take a small cup of say 50ml and if you fill it completely that should give you 25 grams of protein ?
Sandeep says
HI Trishala Can you also mention quantity of carbs and FAT in 50 ml of home made whey protein.
Vamsi Krishna says
About to ask the same question. Thanks for the additional information about the measurement of the cup. One more question though.. Will I get the same nutrition ( same amount of protein) if I obtain whey through milk by adding lemon and straining it?
Ssunil says
25 gm protein in the whey from 2 lt milk. I am not sure if its correct.
Polymath says
Trishala,please do your esearch before misleading people. 50ml contains only 0.5g protein. If it’s contain 25g protein, nobody would buy concentrated whey protein powder.

Great article, I just have a simple question. Do you use the whey in its liquid form or do you dehydrate it to later make it a powder?

Aniket says
Hi, Trishala, Thank you for an amazing and simple description .
Here I go, could you please suggest me a home made diet to reduce weight, specially belly fat . I am trying hard, following some diet plan, but no results.
One more question , Can I use this natural whey protein instead of the one that I purchased frm store?
Trishala Chopra says
Hi Aniket!
I am glad you liked the article!
Well, i dont really believe that diet works for any weight loss. Just have a balanced meal.
Secondly, yes you can use this as a substitute to the powder purchased from the store. But you need to measure your proteins properly otherwise the error might make you end up consuming less proteins!

I have some queries.
Could you please tell me for 1 LITRE of milk, how much ML whey liquid we will get?
And in that how much ever ML of whey Liquid which we are getting, how much would be protein content in that ?
It would be of great help if you could clarify these two queries as well please.
