    Just tried it there. I bought the Vanilla flavor.


    Mixes well and taste fine, though it does have a slight carmel aftertaste which is no bad thing really.

    My order arrived this morning. Hitting the gym after lunch so will get back and report on the shake after.

    Very good value at 50 quid.

    You could have got it for 45 :rolleyes:

    Tried my chocolate peanut there earlier, bit of a noob to this so was unsure of the dosage but gave it a heaped big spoonful. Tasted a lot better in just water than I was expecting, that's for sure, looking forward to getting through this one in the coming weeks/months and onto the chocolate mint.

    Does anyone not have any views/concerns about all the artificial flavours or sweeteners in some of the cheaper brands? Generally even the 'unflavoured options' usually have some of these sweeteners to act as flavour enhancers. Usually the more fancy the packing, the more there is.

    I haven't tried this brand btw (maybe someone will upload an image of the ingredients list). Will only use '100% organic, grass-fed, gm-free, hormone-free whey'. The ingredients label therefore says '100% whey' and not a drop of anything else, nothing, nada.

    Everything in the larger brand health shops is loaded with some or most of the following (some natural, yes, but some straight from a chemist's lab). Most of these are high sugar-carbs forming also:

    Sugar
    Sugar alcohols {AKA: Sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol }
    Sucrose
    Saccharin
    Sucralose
    Stevia leaf extract
    Acesulfame potassium
    Aspartame - this one esp. has received some mixed opinions
    Neotame
    Agave nectar
    High-fructose corn syrup
    Honey

    Might be worth considering, if you're putting 5kg of product into yourself every bunch of months, no?

    Not if you are already an existing customer that has been using BP long before this offer ;)

    Although, I did get €5 credit for one of the guys using my referral code.

    Same here. I use a heaped scoop to about 250ml water give or take.

    If your ever rushing and need a nice breakie, I use this as a breakie on the go, great for early morning drive to college etc :

    200ml milk with one scoop of the chocolate peanut whey.
    Shake it up.
    Then add a scoop of porridge/oats and a heaped spoonful of peanut butter.

    Leave it in the fridge over night and then grab as you go the next morning.

    It's fine, and the peer reviewed data says so. Many people will give you an opinion on artificial sweeteners, but opinions don't mean much in the face of facts.

    Was just checking out the range on that website and the 'pure series' seems decent enough, ticks a few boxes for gm-free, soy-free options etc, no mention of organic sources though. Certainly the fact that the website offers such filters on the proteins is a good factor, the high street retailers have nothing that's sweetener free.

    The artificial sweeteners has plenty of mixed opinions around it, enough to raise slight concern. Most 'peer reviews' would be influenced in some way through industry in relation to uni/lab funding and even legislation.

    Some banned ones include:
    (FDA) banned the sale of Sodium cyclamate in 1969, but is approved in the EU and Canada. In 1977, Canada banned saccharin due to results of animal tests, but it's very common here. Others are only available in certain regions.

    Aspartame probably receives the most mixed opinions currently.
