Per 100 g of product. Δ = Whole Milk minus Whey Protein 80%. Verified against independent food-science sources on each ingredient page.

The difference that matters

Whey Protein 80% has the higher anti-freezing power (PAC 13 vs 5), so swapping toward it makes the mix softer and lowers the serving temperature; trim other high-PAC sugars if you want the same scoop hardness. Whey Protein 80% is denser in total solids (96% vs 12%), so it thickens body faster and needs less to hit the same dry-matter target.
