As promised here is my review on the impact whey protein from www.myprotein.com. So I have always had a bit of a love hate relationship with protein powders. I love the benefits they offer and the results I get along side my gym routine, however, I've really struggled with the taste of the majority of them and they all made me feel mega nauseous. I had tried maxi muscle and protein world slender blend in vanilla (which is absolutely disgusting) both of them I just couldn't stand more than a couple of days due to the nausea.
About a month ago I really upped my game in the gym with a new routine lifting heavier than I ever had and being really consistent with my sessions 5 times a week. I knew it was time to try protein powders again as I wanted to be able to work even harder and recover faster and I could feel that my baby muscles needed the help!
I did my research online and checked out several reviews and decided to give my protein a try. I liked that they were so cost effective so if I didn't like it I wouldn't have lost out on a load of cash. For 1kg of protein it cost me £11.87 including delivery although they did have 25% off on the day I ordered but even full price they are so cheap that they are accessible to any gym goer. Also I ordered this on a Friday standard delivery and it arrived on the Monday so you don't have to wait long for it to arrive either.
I ordered the 1kg chocolate peanut butter impact whey protein and let me tell you it is amazing! As soon as I ripped the pouch open it smelt so good I just hoped the taste lived up to it too and boy it did. It tastes exactly like a milkshake it's really creamy but not too sweet and sickly like others I've tried before. I actually look forward to drinking it post gym now rather than gagging my way through it. They come in so many different flavours from plain vanilla to Apple crumble and custard there literally is every flavour you could possibly think of but I'm a sucker for reeses so chocolate peanut butter was the one for me.
I tend use this just once a day straight after my gym session I use 1 scoop with around 200mls of water. It has helped with my recovery and I feel I can go harder with my workouts and I am really starting to see a change in my shape and more definition which I can only assume is down to this protein and squatting until I want to try cry haha
There is 20 grams of protein per serving with only 1g of carbs and 1g of sugar which is important as sometimes protein can be loaded with carbs and refined sugar which we all know is no good for your body.
You can use their powders in so many different ways from adding it to a fruit smoothie or a scoop in your morning porridge there is so many different recipes on ‘The Zone’ section of their website.
As a protein hater I can safely say my protein has converted me and has helped with my fitness journey so I won't be going anywhere else anytime soon as this is a first for me. Now I want to try all of their yummy protein treats. They have 25% off all items at the moment using the code EASTER so I know I'll be putting my order in!
