Black Friday Protein Powder Deals and Supplement Steals (2025)

The wellness industry is a wild market. You can’t trust marketing alone, and the FDA’s regulations on protein powder transactions are quite limited. It pays to be careful. So for this year’s Black Friday, we’ve sifted through the markdowns, fact-checked the claims, verified third-party testing, and sampled the supplements so you don’t have to. If you’re looking to stock up or invest in a healthier routine, these are some wellness supplements and protein powder deals we’d trust with both our own bodies and our wallets.

I will refresh this list with the latest sales, so check back often. For more information, check out our roundup of the best Black Friday deals.

Ritual

Daily Protein Shake 18+

Ritual’s Essential Protein Daily Shake is our top protein powder recommendation for women. It’s generally more expensive than its competitors, but a $15 discount makes the cost more digestible. Its pea protein is enriched with L-methionine, and each serving also contains four grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Ritual is a great supplement for sensitive stomachs because it is free of GMOs, stevia, sugar alcohols, and artificial sweeteners. It is also soy-free, gluten-free and vegan. Bonus: it’s certified by the Clean Label Project.

Promix

Whey Isolate Protein Powder (Unflavored)

Promix Grass-Fed Whey Isolate is a highly digestible protein powder that has been micro-filtered to contain less than 1 gram of lactose, making it suitable for people with sensitive stomachs. Each scoop contains 30 grams of protein, along with 6.6 grams of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and 14.2 grams of essential amino acids. It’s obviously meant for protein shakes, but I personally prefer using this supplement in baked goods.

IV fluid

Hydration multiplier

If reviewer Louryn Strampe had a music festival starter pack, Liquid IV would be a must-have. After swallowing one, his sore throat, dry nostrils, and head instantly feel better. Liquid IV comes in over 20 flavors that will make your water taste sweeter, like Passion Fruit, Mango, and Strawberry Lemonade. Each packet contains electrolytes and eight vitamins and nutrients, including vitamins C and B.

Plink

Electrolyte Soft Drink Tablets

If you prefer fizzy tablets that you can just toss into a glass or bottle of water, Plink is refreshing and features a carbonation reminiscent of seltzer water. (However, if you throw it in a water bottle, leave it open momentarily so the gases can escape.) Plink comes in three flavors: Pineapple, Grapefruit, Watermelon, and Pomegranate, but I would recommend the variety pack if you’re new to the brand.

IQBAR

IQMIX Electrolyte Powder

Reviewer Louryn Strampe loves the peach-mango flavor, but she would also recommend the Blueberry Pomegranate and Piña Colada. In addition to electrolytes, each sachet also contains Lion’s Mane Mushroom and Magnesium L-Threonate to improve cognitive health. Luckily, according to Strampe, the mixture doesn’t taste like shrooms, but it does have an earthy flavor.

Best Greens Powder Deals

This is a reliable greens powder (organic spirulina, Ashwagandha and chlorella) with minimal grains. Reviewer Louryn Strampe says it tastes like spearmint gum, but the Pomegranate Berry variant is also on sale if you prefer a fruitier palette.
