Impact Whey Protein

Look for a whey protein isolate or blend with stevia or low-calorie sweetener, options like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, My Protein Impact Whey, or Dy matize Elite Whey are good value. Use about 1 scoop per serving, usually after workouts or between meals, mix with water or unsweetened almond milk, start with 1 scoop a day to see how your body reacts...

Don't buy large tubs. Buy bulk in bags. As an example, you can typically find MyProtein whey for about 100 euro on sale, for a 5kg bag, aka, 166 servings. They have 23g of protein and under 2g of carbs or fats per serving. Aka, significantly better macros than yours.

If you're in the UK, you can always try MyProtein. They're generally pretty fantastic tasting.

My bruddas, cant go wrong with extreme milk chocolate. But i drink it with milk. I recently switched over from myprotein. So far i have tried, Myprotein milk tea - 3.5/5 Drinkable, finished 2.5kg worth. But had a weird aftertaste. Drank with water Salted caramel - 1.5/5 The artificial taste and the aftertaste killed me. I wasted 2.5kg worth of protein. Drank with water Optimum Nutrition Double choco - 3/5 Drinkable but weird after taste. Drank with water Extreme milk choco - 5/5 My new love.

I tolerate MyProtein Impact Whey reasonably well and it tastes kinda awesome to me. I like Cookies and Cream, Cinnamon Danish, White Chocolate, Vanilla in this order. Chocolate Smooth is kinda bland but it’s good. A bit too harmless and uninteresting to my taste buds but it can be useful for cooking (protein cupcakes and such). Though they contain sweeteners and other processed ingredients, they are one of the few protein powders that don’t sucker punch me with that synthetic sweetness like a lot of products (sugary or sweetened) do. I also like the “play dough” texture that their powders have. I actually like putting two cups of that stuff in one greek yogurt because it becomes kinda like cookie dough. I also like BioTech USA’s isolate (isolate is lower lactose if you’re intolerant or sensitive - I’m not, or not significantly enough). I’ve enjoyed Pistachio, Hazelnut, Coconut, Chocolate in this order. The flavor with BioTech USA is a little more synthetic and overtly sweet but close enough, I guess. The texture is also a bit too fine and powdery for my liking but whatever. — Unflavored whey is also a thing if you wanna stay as natural as possible. There are brands out there that go the extra mile for super ethically and clean-sourced milk but I haven’t gone so far down the rabbit hole as of now. — Following along for other people’s recommendations. 👀 I’m always down to try a new protein powder if it’s good. I wanna try Ghost next, I’ll order some soon.

What's your take regarding the safety/contamination aspects? MP is my favorite as well taste-wise (cookies & cream is to die for). I know they have an Origin range that came out recently that's meant to be more "checked".

Myprotein whey isolate or Myprotein impact whey are great. If you mix with equal parts water you can use it as a sauce on a bowl of yoghurt with fruit on (skyr or Greek yoghurt) and you can get a very high amount of protein for little calories. Best way I’ve found

For unflavored, I like MyProtein. They have both WPC (impact) and WPI (impact isolate), and both are clean flavors. I buy them all the time to cut flavored powders, since I find most of them too strong and sweet for my liking. The only annoying thing with MyProtein is having to wait for a sale. Their standard prices are way overpriced so you have to wait for good sales and discount codes. Very annoying.

Do not take Cinnamon danish though, absolutely disgusting and still 2 more kilo left.

Yeah, and their unflavored has nothing added but lecithin.

myprotein unflavored cheap and not full of all kinds of bullshit

Currently The Myprotein impact way is just under £36, working out at £14.40 / kilo. That's reasonable price for their stuff since the prices rocketed. (I also feel the quality had gone down at the same time prices have risen). For a good while Home Bargains were doing 1kg bags of PHD Diet Whey for £14, I think it increased to £18. Reasonable value for good quality protein though less protein per serving then Impact Whey. Haven't seen it in a few months so I've been buying from Costco.

The £36 is the current price in Costco.

Yeah unfortunately they’re now the expensive option.

I have my old order history - in 2021 I ordered an 11 lb bag for $65. That bag is now $200.
