Bulk Nutrients - Protein Matrix+

Finally a topic I know a bit about :) I get the Vanilla Maple Protein Matrix from Bulk Nutrients and mix it into my overnight oats (handy because I can make a few in advance while I have motivation). It's 24g of protein per scoop and makes it taste kinda like pancakes. Bulk nutrients protein powders aren't that amazing taste wise by themselves but they are serviceable and cheaper than others and they normally offer flavour sample packs to try. The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is like the baseline for decent protein powders at 24g of protein per scoop and tastes pretty good. Protein bars are expensive and hit or miss in terms of taste/calories vs protein. The Grenade white chocolate Oreo bars are probably the best tasting protein bar I've had at 20g of protein but they're expensive. The Bulk Nutrients protein bars are actually pretty good at 20g of protein but the taste and texture is pretty basic. If you have a Costco nearby the Premier Protein Shakes are reasonably priced and taste pretty good at 30g of protein. But I am used to protein shakes so your mileage my vary lol. I've also had some of the Up&Go Energize boxes that are pretty decent at around 17g of protein but again your tastes may vary. Other than that, good old eggs on toast is pretty good and quick. A couple of large eggs is about 12g of protein.

Bulk Nutrients Rocky Road flavour is thee best!

I have matrix plus in an overnight oat with almond milk. I don't do well with dairy either and it works for me. Oats don't seem to have as many after-taste problems either

This person has no idea what they're talking about. 85% is pretty good for a blend, it's higher than the one they're recommending. There's nothing wrong with silicone dioxide in food you're not breathing in silica, and it's not glass it's quartz, that's like saying sand and glass are the same thing. It's used as an anti caking agent and occurs naturally in vegetables and is completely safe in small quantities. None of the things they're complaining about here are a health issue in the levels you would be consuming in a protein powder.

That's not their blend, that's their WPC. This is their blend https://www.bulknutrients.com.au/products/protein-matrix Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk) (Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin)), Amino Blend, Micellar Casein (Milk), Whey Protein Isolate (Milk) (Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin)), Flavouring, **Xanthan Gum**, Sweetener (Sucralose), Lactase Enzyme. The highest protein content is their vanilla at 81.3%. I'm not shitting on bulk nutrients, I've been buying from them for almost a decade. I'm pointing out that the person who brought this up has no idea what they're talking about.

85% of pretty good for a blend

Was there a list of brands tested? Here in Australia I use Bulk nutrients out of Tasmania amd hoping they were not in the testing group.

They have to be bots. Every post about protein powders they just come in droves. They might be good but it's so bloody expensive I don't even think it's worth trying. I love my bulk nutrients vanilla maple

Hell I remember when they did the 5 or 10kg bags. Still use bulk nutrients but hate the 1kg bag design they adopted, it looks better but why is the opening smaller than it could be!

The salted caramel is my go to though

The US ones are reportedly not as high a quality with their lack of regulations on supplements. Lower grade, lower quantities with cutting agents. The thing you get with Bulk Nutrients is they do testing and Australian with Australia having strict restrictions on supplements. My Protein also used to be good, and tested, however their prices are terrible these days. Instead of good value 5kg bags, they need to cover the costs for extra packaging in smaller 1kg bags and throwing in those free t-shirts and bottles which obviously are not free, inflating the prices.

Muscle nation shakes vanilla is pretty nice get them at Cole’s/woolies, ehp labs oxyshred, bulk nutrients most affordable and great value
