Where are we going for protein?

What's a good flavour of MyProtein for mixing with oats?

I was a big fan of ON, but their 2.5kg have all gone up over €20 everywhere, so looking at MyProtein. I got the unflavoured whey, but it leaves an unpleasant metallic aftertaste in the oats, so want to give them 1 more try with one of their flavours.

Rather than get a 5kg bag of flavour try zero calorie flavoured syrup with the unflavoured powder

very few work well for me in porridge over a prolonged period, cinnamon danish was good and so was banana but after a while it get boring as mentioned above

I usually eat the oats and chug the powder

Now you mention it I had apple crumble the other night and it was a good mix

Where are you guys getting those flavours? They are not appearing for me on the MyProtein site, plus the MyProtein site seems very expensive, the 1kg of unflavoured protein costs €13 more than what I paid from Amazon.

My Sports Fuel 1 kg Cookies and Cream Anabolic Whey Matrix Protein Powder

on Amazon is £11.39 with a subscribe and save and just cancel after it has been sent, easy way to try a new flavour

Yeah that's what I always do.

I've found scitec to be reasonably priced with alot of the independent retailers. Generally around €45 - €50 for a 2.2kg tub.

HP Nutrition, AOB Nutrition and mycoresupplements are where I spend my money.

I ended up buying PhD Diet Whey from H&B because my MyProtein order was delayed and was stuck for something in the meantime. Have to say it's the thickest protein shake I've ever had. Didn't flow out of my shaker at all and I'm sure I'm leaving a good chunk of it behind with it clinging onto the plastic.

17g per scoop. Was using the same amount of liquid (both milk and water) as I was using with MyProtein 200-250ml. Also really thickened up my porridge in the mornings!

The worst review ever

https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/ie.myprotein.com

A colleague of mine told me of some research he did on proteins about the claimed quality versus the actual, laboratory proven quality. He wasn't doing proper academic research, but rather was just searching the Internet for articles. It's a bit sketchy in my mind now because it was a few years ago. Anyway, he told me that what they claim (e.g. 80% protein) and what the actual value is often wrong. I think MyProtein was one of the examples he found.

Maybe myprotein didn’t want to ask the staff 🤣

Anyone looking for some protein locally try SuperValu, 25% off and they have vouchers on the app to reduce the price a bit more

I doubt we'll be better off, but a lot of the time the influencer codes were an extra 2% on 45% off so not massive in the scheme of things. The real bargains have been those ltd edition and coffee flavours.

it may not be a cheap way compared to what we usually pay but if someone wants to try the clear version it’s alright and it’s totally different in texture, herself loves it compared to the usual shite I have in the kitchen

I had a €10 off €50 spend and used one4all gift cards so got two of them

perfect with ice on a warm day

Think I'll stop buying protein now too. Can't justify the price and to be honest it might challenge me to find other sources of protein in my meals

I have been using https://www.insidenutrition.com/ for my last couple of orders and am quite happy, good tasting flavours and works out at around 19 euro per kilo delivered when you using code thanks15 and spend over 45 for free next day delivery

Myprotein are doing the Total Protein Blend 5kg for between €67-71 depending on flavour

What is the texture of the Protein Blend like, same as Whey?

Bought Milk Protein based on a similar offer a while ago and it’s very grainy, wouldn’t buy it again.

Cheers, I will try and and pick up some casein on my next order, will help getting through the 2.5kg bag.

It'd seriously depress you looking at your order history if you're a long time MP customer. Went back to an order from 2017 and I see I paid €26 for 2.5kg whey. €67 this morning. Bulk is even worse.

When I was cleaning up a few weeks ago I found a sealed 2.5kg bag of BP whey with an expiry of 08/2020. I don't know how I "lost" a 2.5kg bag and didn't notice tbh. What do we think lads, should I risk it? Desperate to save a few shekels 😄

There must be a serious drop off in orders in MP, I’m sure that was to be expected but I’d like to think there will be some sort of sale soon to get orders in
