Premium Whey Protein Powder 1kg & 5kg – Supports Lean Muscle Growth – Nutritional Supplement, 33 – 166 Servings| Fuel (Double Chocolate, 5kg)

I purchased this as I have a medical condition which affects my eating habits, therefore I don't eat as much as I should and I'm not getting the right amount of 'good' calories, fats, carbs, protein and building blocks you would expect from a balanced healthy diet. I was nearly put off by the negative reviews relating to the taste and the difficulties people experienced when mixing it. I was thinking about whether or not to take the leap, initially based on the protein content (80%) and the price. But when looking into the breakdown of what you get from this supplement this cemented my decision and I added to my basket and checked out.....I ordered the double chocolate by the way. Delivery was next day and with the help of my wife she made my first shake. We were both just as surprised at how easy this was to mix despite so many comments on how difficult it was. I can only assume that because my shaker has a metal shaker ball in it that this helped greatly, something I think another reviewer mentioned. I took my first sip expecting to be greeted by the most horrific taste ever, only to be pleasantly surprised at how nice it actually tasted. Don't get me wrong, it's not like a mouthful of melted chocolate but it's not far off. I've had some really really awful tasting supplements in the past and I can genuinely say that this doesn't even come close to those experiences. This has a very nice taste to it, both with milk or water. I'm still struggling with my appetite but this is most definitely a welcome addition to my food consumption.

The slightly more powdery consistency when compared to pure whey is a result of the addition of some soy protein; 500ml of water for a scoop in a shaker with a mixing ball provides a very drinkable consistency with no residue around the edges/corners etcetera. As for the taste, the 'double chocolate' is in fact quite a mild chocolate taste [possibly the soy protein is making it taste more bland too] although not particularly disagreeable, you may need to add some sweetener (a couple of supermarket own brand sweeteners for instance, won't break the bank!) to account for that. The carb content is higher than a comparable pure whey protein (similarly from the soy), the fat content is much lower though (could be the comparator had more than a trace of cocoa butter in to guarantee taste), so it looks as though it's pretty much swings & roundabouts, calorie content is very similar. For less than 50% of the price [before the ubiquitous promotion discounts] of pure whey from the major protein powder sites, then as long as you're not particularly demanding over consistency & taste it's a very good alternative, I'll be reordering :-)

This is by far the best protein powder in terms of value for money. I was on the myprotein impact whey powder for the last 3 years and recently they upped their prices by 50%. That's when I found this gem. In terms of flavour it is actually quite nice in comparison to the myprotein chocolate nut. There have been some bad reviews in terms of "mixability" but I use two scoops and fill up my shaker with water and it is completely fine. Helps if you have one of those mixing balls. I see little difference between this one and the myprotein one in mixability. The reason they can sell this one for so cheap is because it isn't 100% whey. However, the powder is still a complete protein source so I do not mind. I will be using this for the foreseeable future.

It seems that since lockdowns ended across Europe and the World, the price of protein has sky rocketed, Especially on websites like PhD Nutrition and My Protein. I used to shop on these sites but after seeing the astronomical increase in price, I decided to shop elsewhere and found this protein on Amazon. The value for money is really good here, with 5kg around £35 cheaper than it would be on MyProtein. The taste isn't great, but you will get used to it. It does taste a lot better with milk. Overall, I recommend this product, especially until the price of protein calms down

Fantastic value 5kg bag, it's doing the job for my weight training program, i use this on non training days and a top quality whey protein powder straight after a workout twice a week

I rarely write Amazon reviews however I don't want anybody to go through the same stress that this product has caused me. Not to be dramatic. Do yourself a favour and buy MyProtein or a branded protein product. Basically, it's dreadful and should be called cement mix, it does not blend, even in a blender and requires astronomical amounts of water and milk in order to get it to blend together. It is quite frankly dreadful. It tastes like cheap cereal. Do yourself a favour and do not buy this, I know the price may look decent but DON'T DO IT OKAY?!

Low on the sweetner, thank the gods. And a decent attempt at Double Chocolate (although I'd say Single myself). It does have a distinct stale biscuit/cardboard-box overtone to the flavour though, with the slightly gelatenous mouthfeel (dissspiated with dilution) that most of these protein shakes seem to have to some degree. It can't be described as unpleasant in comparison to others though - there are some hugely revolting powders out there at literally twice the price. Note that also unlike some other powders, it doesn't respond well to "pasting" (avoiding lumps by mixing to a smooth paste first, then adding more water). Just add it to the full amount of liquid you want, and mix it up. Otherwise, you'll see it clings in semi-poweredy glags to your spoon which won't come off without scraping.

Have been buying this protein powder for a few years now. I first bought it due to the price, I thought if it was terrible at least I wouldn't lose too much money. However, I find it perfectly fine. I've tried a few protein powders over the years. I would consider this above average for taste, mixability (is that a word?) and definitely value for money. There are probably better tasting and mixable protein powders and there are definitely worse ones. But for the price I will continue to get this one. Overall, recommended.
